What habits have you developed to start your workday when you work from home?
I like to follow a consistent morning routine. This could mean waking up at the same time, exercising, showering and getting dressed to signal the start of a workday. I am not a “sit in my jammies” type of work-from-home person. Even if it's just jeans and a T-shirt, I still get dressed, put a little lip gloss on and start my day!
What are the biggest challenges people may face while working remotely, and how do they overcome them?
The pressure to always be online can lead to exhaustion. It is a complete myth that people work less when they work from home. On the contrary, I believe that work-from-home employees typically work longer hours.
