1) have an activity that signals the start of your work day and the end of your work day. You work remote/at home/sometimes commute-less. You need something that signals your brain that test is over, play is paused, and work is commencing. Showers, walks, breakfast, whatever.

You need to signal a start to your day and, more importantly, an end to your day. Working remote doesn’t mean you don’t have boundaries. And working remote means you have to be diligent about setting them, because there’s no bus to catch to signal it’s time to sign off

2) you need frequent small breaks to stave off sedentary life at the desk. Pomodoro or some other system. Get up and move for 5 minutes every hour. Between meetings. Whatever. You never realize how much movement you get in a “desk job” when you’re waking from mtg to mtg

...or desk to desk. Mimic that at home/coffee shop/wherever.

3) dedicate a space away from bed or the sofa for work. Protect your home spaces for rest and recovery!!!! Rolling over and taking meetings from bed will inevitably lead to the bed being the new desk, which means you sleep/rest less which j#is just as harmful, if not more...

Than staying stationary at a desk. You need your home to stay a sanctuary for rest, recovery, and recreation.

4) TAKE SICK DAYS. Don’t prolong your sickness and recovery by “feeling well enough to take a call”. Working from home doesn’t mean that sickness, injury and other things that would keep you from an office goes away. They are just as important in working remote/from home.

5) connect with other humans. Don’t develop cabin fever or get stuck in isolation. Make friendship/family dates (I admittedly suck at this - my doctor prescribed me a weekly outdoor meetup w/strangers for this + depression battling).

6) create non-project connection points with your remote peers. You don’t have to be bffs over slack, but build culture and comaraderie, even if strictly professional, by engaging in virtual water cooler/non-stressful shop talk.

7) block out the same non-office distractions you would in a physical office. If twitters distracting for you, limit it during the day. Work away from Netflix or whatever you have poppin in your living room. Treat your “on” hours as you would in a physical office.

8) STOCK YOUR SNACK/COFFEE/TEA BAR!!! Nuff said. As an aside, DO NOT GET ALL YOUR LUNCHES VIA DELIVERY APPS. Either cook them, microwave them, or go get them. Again, time away from the screen + social interaction. Break up the sedentary potential. And save yourself some $$

LASTLY, TAKE TIME OFF!!!!!!!! Working remote/from home doesn’t mean you don’t “work hard” or that you don’t deserve downtime. And if you have unlimited PTO, I suggest you endeavor to take 3-4 weeks off per year. What works for me? I take 3-5 days per quarter. YMMV.

Your team needs a refreshed, invigorated and engaged teammate/mentor/manager/colleague. No one wins when you’re frayed, burned out and at exhaustion. I’ve learned the hard way multiple times.
