    Home-office is so cool. Working via VPN. Much better working atmosphere and no distractions. Looks like this will be the case for at least next few weeks.

    Anyone else ordered to do home-office?

    • i work from home all the time (studio [=shed]) at the bottom of the garden. so really no difference for me. except the wife is here as well, invading my space..hans_glib
    • yupmoldero
    • I'm here till mid May.DRIFTMONKEY
    • work from home has been the norm for me for 4 years. took me about a year to finally get used to it.capn_ron
    • yep, and had home officed for 3 years before when freelancing. Things I learnt:shapesalad
    • 1 - Go outside before 9.30am. Be it cycle, run, walk. Get out at the start of the day. Mandatory.shapesalad
    • 2 - Aeropress and a decent selection of teas are your friends. Optional.shapesalad
    • 3 -Don't have any candy/sweets in the house. Else you eat them all. Like I just did. 3 packets of wine gums in 2 days.... what a mistake to make.shapesalad
    • Working from home studio for the last 5 years, love it, but like hans, now my wife and daugthers are invading my space...OBBTKN
    • @shapesalad 0. start your day like you would go to an office. (people tend to forget basic daily things like shower :D

    • luckily I didn't had to teach anyone how VPN works because we're already using it, and we had to home office for a few weeks last year.

    • My wife's company is so disorganized as well, trying to daycare in shifts is a really un-funny joke.ben_
    • @mono that is an ugly truth :) and I was in this mood until monday started and my duties at work doubled.
