Great article but I think it misses a key life component for many readers. Schools are closed but learning continues. Many are asking – “How do I home school my kids and get my ‘job work’ done?”
My advice, set realistic expectations around just how productive you can be with children at home.
Next, set boundaries around what part of the day will be dedicated to helping kids with school work and what times will be more focused on your job.
Make sure you communicate your situation and plan with your employers. They will understand because many are navigating the same issues.
Finally, remember this is a temporary situation. Things will be back to usual again soon.
Working at home is OUTFREAKINGSTANDING. I don’t think I could go back to a corporate office. EVER. You actually control your work environment when you’re at home. You manage your own schedule. You manage your distractions. It’s awesome.
