Remote working can be a lonely enterprise in this era of social distancing, but it doesn’t have to be. For those who thought working from home was temporary, who didn’t set clear boundaries and who didn’t establish an organized work station, distractions can disrupt productivity. After all, you’re in your personal space, not your usual professional environment.
Laundry needs to be done, dishes washed and the house cleaned. Plus, maybe you want to see The View since you’re always at the office when it’s on, or there’s a good movie on Netflix you’ve been longing to watch. Your pooch needs to go for a walk or you want to snuggle with him. And the kids and spouse keeps yelling questions from another room, causing you to keep loosing your train of thought.
Or on the flip side, maybe since being at home 24/7, you find yourself toiling overtime on the job long after you usually would have called it quits at the office. On top of it all, cabin fever could be sneaking up on you.
