Grace left the comforts of G2βs snack-filled, cold brew-infused, high-rise Chicago office and traded them in for a 30-second morning commute. To her living room!
Sheβs been working from home for six months now and shares some tips:
Have a routine
Have a bedtime. Have a wake-up time. Brush your teeth before your coffee. Get out of the house
Find a library, co-working space or coffee shop you like. Even if youβre not talking to people, itβs still helpful to be around them. Head to the city for a few lattes each month. Prepare for meals
Be proactive about mealtime. Alternative is to forget to eat and get no work done for the rest of the day.
Create a work-designated space
This helps you not to view your entire home as a workspace. Yes, you can still sit on a couch and work, but youβll at least have a spot thatβs specifically for work. Helps to focus.
Have hobbies
Full days can pass without speaking to a single human face-to-face. Few things are more isolating. Have a reason to leave your house.
Created a simple /about page that describes briefly what the site is about
Sent some questions to remote companies for upcoming newsletters
You can now see descriptions of benefits when clicking on the filters (good for SEO too)
Thinking about how to get more newsletter subscribers
