I currently work from home, and I find actually starting work is hard for me when there's no-one to force me to get to the office by 9am.
(Then again, on the handful of occasions I have actually worked in the office, I've really noticed the office banter - it's probably on par with whatever distractions I have at home.)
- itgoon 12y agoI start my day just as if I were going to work. Get up with the alarm, do morning chores, take a shower, dress decently (but not office-nice), sit down and start working. My first task: send email to someone, preferably a team. There might be a little web surfing first, but I did that in the office, too. My work doesn't require set hours. I do it this way simply for the discipline.
- ajdlinux 12y agoI feel I could benefit from having a consistent routine like this, though it doesn't help that I work part-time and due to various factors my hours tend to be scattered throughout the week. (Ultimately doesn't really matter for me any more since I'm finishing at my current employer shortly and will be going 9-5 in-person very soon.)
