I've been working from home for about 10 years. The only thing that's ever been a problem is maintaining a healthy work-life balance. It took years to realize and resolve all of the various underlying issues before I started feeling comfortable without being complacent with things.
My advice for people new to remote work: reserve an hour each morning for exercise, start reading fiction, try out the keto diet, avoid alcohol as much as possible, try to limit your caffeine intake, open your windows to prevent co2 buildup, keep eye drops within reach for long hauls, try to get all of your chores done in the morning.
- quickthrower2 7y agoGood advice for office bound people too!
- et_tu_brewte 7y agoDo you mind elaborating on why you mention keto? I’m 4 months into keto and down 18lbs and I love it, but just wondering why you mentioned it with remote work.
- leetbulb 7y agoIn my experience, it's a little too easy to snack being home all day every day, especially when work slows down or during burnouts. Keto has played a huge role in managing snacking, or at least, unhealthy snacking. Plus it compliments nicely with your morning cardio and provides a decent energy boost throughout the day without the need of caffeine.
- meiraleal 7y agoFor the snacks, intermittent fasting also helps a lot.
- anonymouswacker 7y agoGreat tips. I am not sure why you'd limit caffeine intake? Is this to prevent circadian rhythm disturbances?

- trumbitta2 7y agoThis could actually end up being a problem once they start releasing CO2 in the evening. I had one that always made me sleepy in the evenings... took some time to figure out what it was and move it in another room.
