Awesome advice! And you included all our favorite RU-vidrs. I'd be interested to know what you're take on setting up a group work space would be because living in a household with 3 people working in a home office is a zoo of cables and a looming fear of an exploding surge protector..

@wanttobeasage2952 4 года назад

Oh, man I've not done any work since this lockdown. But I've cleaned my kitchen so many times and done a lot of cooking. All the household stuff. I seem to be programmed to do home chores when home and can't focus on my work at all. To make things worse my family is trapped on the far side of an airport, no-one is even here to disturb me.

@PracticalInspiration 4 года назад

Great points all round. Separation and Isolation was one that stuck out as it's incredibly true in the role it plays in our psychology, but also having the need for a space that's free of distraction is critical.

One downside of using spotify for it's work/study/focus playlists is that spotify will start to think ambient is your favorite genre of music, and include it in your daily mixes. So when you're driving at night, it will try to play music that puts you to sleep. So far, haven't had that problem with Pandora.

@karenrich9092 4 года назад

I remember a time I had a "mobile office". When I drove my husband to dialysis 3 days a week, I took 2 TV trays, my laptop and scanner with me. (My tip: buckle your equipment into a seat belt in the car -- less chance of damage that way). I only had about 31/2 hours to work, but it sure helped. I have become more attached to my cell phone lately -- yes, i still have a land line at home -- "if it ain't broke on't fix it". My cell phone is my primary number now due to this virus. Thanks as always for your wonderful videos. I highly respect you and your colleagues for having this talent.

Having a seperate space for studying and/or work is really helpful. I study outside the house now, under the mango tree. there's a table around it so I can focus on my work. It's not really noisy because I live on the countryside. When I study in my room, I tend to get distracte and watch youtube whole day.

Great video as always, Tom! Been using the analogic habit tracker for the past 2 months now and it's absolutely awesome.

Definitely recommend giving it and Thomas' course a try!

I personally feel that MOMENTUM IS KEY to a working from home routine. Transitioning into working from home is hard......like, mentally painful. But getting into a daily habit of it by just spending that initial time getting it established will generally make things flow a lot easier in the long run. (I've been really enjoying your podcasts lately Tom on my morning walks - I think this was something that was mentioned in the working from home episode but i thought I would just share my thoughts) c: Stay Safe Everyone!

@confounded_feline 2 года назад

Just seeing this video today, I can attest to the fact this has been a game changer. I've always struggled with focus and staying on task and wfh really crushed that for me and effected my performance in work (I do dev work). I worked in my living room which is my play space and where my desktop lives. The mixing of the two was so vague and really started clouding my mind. Even the lack of routine of the whole commute disrupted me immensely since I would need to find a new substitute for the sense of stability. Generously last month, my mother who lives a 15-20min drive from me, has a great spare room which she has let me build into an office. I decorated it with a calm palette, got some nice plants, a crank standing desk and a great productivity monitor. I treat going there like a normal commute. I also get to spend more time with her when she isn't working which is nice after she lived out of country for 10 years. Everything was about the psychology of the space in particular keeping it minimalistic + the stuff mentioned in this video.
