• Remote work can seem easy at first, but it becomes harder if it is not taken seriously.
• Replace the commute with a routine that marks the start and end of the workday.
• Use that transition time for something like the gym, coffee and a book, or meditation.
• Breaks are necessary because working from home makes it easy to keep grinding for hours.
• Breaks help organize the mind and support mental health.
• Examples of breaks include walking the dog, making a snack, exercising for 10 minutes, reading articles, and getting coffee.
• Set aside time for focused work when a task needs full attention.
• Schedule meetings around that block of time.
• Remove distractions, disable notifications, and get started on the task.
