Ask HN: What are some of the hacks for remote workers?
I have been working remotely for some time now and I am not able to keep up with the schedule. Its so easy for me to just sit there and work without any distraction that I forget to eat, don't do any exercise or sleep. Isolation is not very pleasant feeling either and dont have access to good coffee places near by.
- Rjevski 8y ago> dont have access to good coffee places near by This is a major problem. Either move to a place where such places exist or don’t do remote working. This kind of isolation ends up being a disaster for morale and productivity (speaking from experience).

- a-saleh 8y agoDo you have friends that you can meet regularly? I had good success to alleviate this by going out with people for lunch, or swimming (and even considered taking up rock-climbing, just because my peer-group were into that sort of thing :-) But the best success I had is with having a lunch with former colleagues and friends through-out the week, it doesn't take that much time and organization, and the ~hour I spend away from the screen serves as a nice reset.
