8. Remote Work 101

9. Maintain a routine
● Maintain your usual morning routine
● Keep exercising, showering, and getting dressed in “real clothes",
hair, makeup, shave, etc., just as if you were heading into the
office. Our bodies and brains are creatures of habit.
● We are creatures of habit[1]

10. Set up a good home office
● Ideally a place with minimal distractions and
comfortable seating – especially if you don’t
already have a space setup.
● Your bed may not be the best place[1][2][3]
● Invest in reliable equipment

11. Structure your day
● If the mornings are typically for deep working and afternoons for
emails and meetings, keep it that way when working remote
● Take breaks! Stand up, stretch, make coffee, unload the dishes,
play the guitar, take a walk. A few minutes is all it takes to refresh
the brain for the next round.
● Know when to log off!

12. Food!
● Stock up on hearty breakfast and lunch foods when you’re at the
grocery store. Eating out gets expensive quick, and often isn’t as
healthy as what you can make at home.

13. Stay connected to each other
● It can start to feel lonely after a while if you don’t make a point to
maintain social connections. Virtual coffee breaks, lunches, or
happy hours, sharing funny gifs and other photos to remind each
other we’re not alone.

14. Use the time to power up
● Working remote may provide margin for additional training and
continuous learning, take advantage of it!
