By now, you’ve discovered one of two things. The wonder of working without pants, or the horror of being stuck at home, disrupting your entire social life. I’m of course talking about Working From Home (WFH). The corona virus may not be the best circumstance to be introduced to remote working. But that shouldn’t stop you from a thriving career in the comforts of your home.

I’ve been working from home for almost a year now. My day job involves a lot of tech writing and digital marketing activities. Technically, I only need a fast computer and a stable internet connection to operate. So I thought of sharing my own experiences and what works for me. Hopefully, this helps you.

The isolation can be liberating, but a daily routine is essential

The thought of not needing to get up and travel for work alone may be liberating. Sure, you save precious time and money. Most importantly, you don’t have to deal with your colleagues and all their random problems at the office. But if you don’t get into the habit of building a disciplined work routine, your work will go sideways and down the drain.

Coffee for the win
