My first week working from home - Weekly vlog

-----------------------------------------------

// ENJOY MY VIDEOS?

My videos no longer have pre-roll ads because I think ads are annoying. That means you don't have to sit through ads, and it also means I don't earn anything from the content I put on YouTube. If you want to support me and my channel the best thing you can do is order something from my online store! I make t-shirts and printed products and you're bound to find something you like :)

aw man that working from home life i feel you. the surface looks really cool! and it's impressive that you can listen to podcasts while working, i'd get so distracted. i usually just try to find like instrumental music or something :P

Congrats on the new job! I have been working remotely myself for about a year now. It has been a wonderful experience and really suits my personality and working habits. I think the biggest challenge is trying to separate your work life and personal life when working from home. But I have found it very useful to create a specific work space which helps me mentally separate the two, if that makes sense.

As a veteran of working from home I strongly advise that you put your alarm sharp at the same time everyday. Also when alarm rings you should get out of the apartment and go for a short walk (like 1 or 2 miles). Get back, get some solid breakfast and you are ready to go :)
Really enjoy watching your vlog :)

You always make all your videos enjoyable with nice music in-between and your editing is also slick and suited to the music! Cheers for a successful week working from home! :)

Congrats on your first week! It's exciting to hear that you are working with a good team that communicates well online. That can make all the difference. I'm also excited that this situation helps facilitate some of your goals for this year as well. Here's to 2017 being a smashing year.

Congratulations! So good to have balance between work and taking breaks. You need to recharge and clear your brain with fresh air and nothingness. Balance is key!

I love these videos! I'm on uni break at the moment and I can't wait to get back into the swing of things and start being busy with work and study again! These vlogs make me even more excited to start the semester :)

[S-e-n-p-a-i]

I can totally relate to this... I do graphic, web, and UI design in NYC and work remotely a lot. While I love working at home; sometimes I force myself to go to a coffee shop or bar in the neighborhood or get on the train and head into midtown Manhattan to work. Lots of inspiration everywhere and it gets me out of my tiny apartment!

Amazing! I am aiming to work from home so I love watching how other people do it, their setups and rituals, etc. When I was working on my thesis over a summer I provided a "doggy nanny" service to a friend. She was out of the house 7-7 every day so i would swing by on my morning run to pick the dog up, bring it to mine and spend the day with i while working on my paper. It was awesome for taking breaks and getting outside and not feeling so lonely. Also meant I got a guaranteed run or walk in every week day. Not possible for everyone, but I've always vowed that when I do get to work from home I'd try to sort something like that again :)

A tip: if you go for a walk before you start work that helps with productivity & motivation - it's like a mini commute ha Not that you need any help with productivity, queen of the side projects! But I find that in the winter months it's so dark and dreary so going outside really does help :) This reminds me - I actually have a blog post that I need to finish on things I've learnt about working from home... soon :)

[somebodyelsa]

I don't know if you were scared of your vlogs not being as interesting now that you work from home, I just wanted to tell you they're still great :) have a lovely year!

[johnnyswierczynski]

Really enjoyed this video Charli especially as I also started working remotely early December for a company I used to work for, so I was looking forward to this video when you tweeted about it! Also, really enjoyed the music in this video too :)

[joaogoncalves]

loving the comeback of the vlogs! And congrats with the new job :)

[MarivoneAraujo]

Great vlog as always! Happy New Year! Wish you the best always!

[daniellea]

This was really interesting to see as I maybe might want to work from home in the future. It was nice to see how you structured your day.

[jacquelineavery]

This is so inspiring! So much of what I want to with my life involves working from home, but I find it very tough unless there are loads of externally opposed deadlines.

[AureliaAndrea_]

you do seem like you're way productive now that you're working at home... but you're still much less tired.. :) love seeing stories from your day charli! and i love how motivated you were to go to town... :)

[HecticSophie]

Working from home sounds like a dream, but I could see how it might lead to barely leaving the house, especially in the winter!

[oyuna]

Frnkiero and the patience album!!! I love you
