When the pandemic hit and people unlike me who had never worked remotely were in for a shock and had issues adapting to working from home. A few simple rules to follow when setting up a home workspace whether you are hybrid or full time remote.

  • pick a dedicated room/space. Don’t think the dining room table is a good workspace. For lots of reasons.
  • Pick somewhere with a door you can close.
  • Train your kids to know that when you are in that work area you are off limits. This one is hard with little kids.
  • Don’t eat in the work area. Get out of the room and go to the dining room/kitchen to eat and take a break.
  • In other posts I talk about mice, keyboards, chairs, desks, etc.
