The Art Of Working From Home
My youngest son walks in my home office, grabs the Apple keyboard, and runs out with it.
I chase him, blurting out, “you break my only keyboard…”
I couldn’t finish the threat, because I didn’t have one.
My oldest walks in and says, “Dad, do you have to work?”
“Dad, do you want to watch T.V. with me?”
“Dad…”
Or both my sons blast through the office door since I forgot to lock it, or when I do lock it, they bang on it until I answer them.
Working from home is a distraction pit.
One distraction after the other, and it’s not just the kids.
It’s the cabinet with all my favorite snacks in it, a limitless supply of mouth pleasure.
It’s also not having a routine.
One of my team members claims his fame for no showers.
If you’re thinking, “eww, gross,” you’re not the only one.
Over the last week working from home, I’ve taken notice of things that are required to make this work successfully.
It’s not usual things like, make sure you schedule video meetings and having a virtual water cooler.
