Working from home comes with many challenges, but the real trouble starts when you’re not the only one doing it. Things can get even trickier if your family members, roommates or a partner are also social distancing and working from home, and here’s a couple of tips to make this experience bearable for everyone involved.

Separate Space

The easiest way to get your job done without being distracted, or distracting others, is having a designated area that will serve as your makeshift office while you work from home.

Daily Schedule

If your job allows it, try to line up your work schedule every day and share it with your family, partner, or roommates, so you could easily plan the rest of your day together.

No Interruptions

Working from home requires a lot of concentration and discipline, so try not interrupting other people in your household who are doing it, because it could easily throw them off the track.

Household Chores

You’ll probably notice your home is messier than ever in quarantine because it’s full at all times. A messy home can be really distracting, so make sure everyone is doing their part in keeping it clean and organized.
