As someone that works from home daily, I'd highly recommend investing in a nice sound system. I've been rocking the Devialet Phantom for a few years.
How does it compare with Sonos?
Have virtual lunches with other founders & freelancers at
Love it. Along the same lines as wfhappyhour.com
good to see you are not using this channel as a sales channel for your company :)
Dress like you're going to work
yeah for me that is having a shower and putting my shoes on as a bonus
Joining virtual happy hours at with folks WFH from all over the world.
A must do task list for the day. Once you come up with it, hand it off to your manager and tell him/her to hold you accountable.
When considering buying a new chair (since, admittedly, we all end up doing that), instead of going on Amazon or to that precise super high end company's website, consider checking out eBay first for refurbished ones. It's more sustainable, and a ton of big companies end up with great chairs that they just want to "give away" for a fraction of the price when revamping their offices.
Have a mid-day 7 minute stretch! No mat required, focus on neck and back movements. Especially when your setup isn't 100% (if you haven't invested in a good chair, or standing desk and you're DIY) make sure you're still moving 😊
couldn't agree more! I also usually take my dog for a quick mid-day walk to get some fresh air:)
that's the dream! 😀
If you can, switch up your working environment throughout the day. I find it helps my productivity and sanity to take some calls at my home office desk, some from the kitchen counter, and get work done from the couch too. It's easy to go stir crazy when you're confined so change it up however you can throughout the day or week. Additionally, my team and I just built this free resource directory of all the top remote work articles, videos, templates, and tools to help with the transition!
thanks for sharing Jonathan. I just sent you an email re: ^^
don't think I got that, but feel free to hit me up at - thanks!
We're booking regular, non-work-related coffee dates over Slack and Zoom here at Fellow.app!
Daily plank challenge! It's been really neat just to get my body moving. It takes about 4 mins. And also meeting with other remote workers on has been really cool. Lots of us just want face to face time, chances to meet new people, and have a tiny fun break within their day.
plank challenge sounds like such a great idea - will give it a try tomorrow:) How many reps do you make during the day?
During the day usually 2! I use this app and it's been pretty good since it tracks and reminds you to plank everyday for 30 days :) Let me know how you like it!
thanks! will give it a try today:)
