MODERATORS
I would love to hear some tips and mistakes, please. Some people seem to love working from home while others just can't get the hang of it.
100% remote worker here as well. If there's no magazine/group/whateveritscalled for us we should have one
Remote workers of the world, unite! (But you have to put on pants first, sorry.)
I never got the whole sloppy work from home vibe.
I mainly wore jeans but I always got fully dressed, hair fancy, cologne and deodorant, no different from going to an office.
I have a desk that is for work only. In stay there most of the day doing work (snacks excepted). When the day is over, I walk away.
I suppose some struggle with the temptations of home, but I always felt comfortable. Yes, leave some goof off time here and there, play with the cats, have a luxurious BM, but get your stuff done.
I never worked from the sofa, nor did I watch TV or movies from any screen. Lunchtime walks were good (and more snacks).
