For millions of Americans, November will mark the eighth month of remote work.
Some have adapted: A recent survey of more than 4,000 people working full time remotely during the pandemic found that 65% would like to make the arrangement permanent, according to FlexJobs, a remote job-listings website.

6- if you have kids, you are settong an example of good (or bad) work habits. Working from home can be a great teaching tool. Remember, kids soak up all kinds of things, so let them listen to you handle co-workers, clients and even your boss.
5- you arent the only one in this new office space. You may be working, but your spouse & kids may not be, so if your 'office' is in a public space, be considerate and take calls in an area that you wont be bothering your family. They're trying to be quite so should you.
4- just because you are home, does not give you free reign to clean or do laundry. You arent getting paid to clean your house. If it bothers you, get up early and clean. Stop at 5 and clean, or get ahead on the weekend but focus on work during your work day.
3- learn when its quiting time. You may feel the need to work overtime. Face it, you probably like your job. But you cant really work 24x7. You do deserve to take time off for weekends and holidays. It keeps you rested and on top of your game.
2- you dont need a huge office setup, or spend a lot on home office, but you need a space to call workspace. I have a lay z boy in my family room with a laptop headset and place for my cell phone. You dont need silence but you do need to limit distractions and noise.
I have been working remotely for the last 10 years. There are my tips. 1- Remember your hours havent changed. Nothing more frustrating to your boss knocking off before 5 even if you started 3 hous earlier than the rest of the company. Start early if you want but dont end early.
Ok😶
