All of this. I don't wfh but I'm self employed and spend large chunks of time in front of a computer. Same kinda deal.MickeyDavis wrote:jschligs wrote:For those who work fully remote, what are some of your tips in general? Tips on how to stay focused, tips on things you need to buy in the office, etc. I got an offer for a new gig that’s full remote and I never have been save for a month during Covid before my office went back to in person.
I've been remote for 4 years now (I go to the office maybe once a month).
Even though I have no set hours I try to keep a regular schedule. I'm not starting at 7 one day and 9 the next day.
Have a dedicated work space/office if you can. Ideally a room where you can shut the door if there are other people home.
A quality chair is essential. I always had a home office but once I started full time WFH I bought a high quality chair. I don't remember what I paid for it. I got it at either Office Max or Office Depot. A few spots on the arms have some wear and tear but otherwise it's still going strong and most importantly it's comfortable.
It definitely requires some discipline, especially in the summer.
-Seperate workspace from home space
-Develop a routine and stick to it
-Chair!!! Both my wife and I have secret labs gaming chairs. She's had hers for like 5 or 6 years and it still looks new. Takes a bit to break in but its amazing after.
I have to shower and put real clothes on in the morning to feel properly motivated. That's probably just a me thing.
Don't take things for granted. The work in front of you has to be done even if there's other **** in your house to play with. If you put things off or half ass it, it always finds it's way back to kick you in the nuts.
