Do you work from home? If you have any tips of your own, feel free to share :)

I’ve been working from home for the past 6 months and yes one of my biggest tips is to take breaks especially lunch breaks and step away from work and enjoy your break. It’s hard but it’s super important for your mental health. I also turn off notifications for most of the day that way my emails can only be accessed on my computer and not distracting me on my phone when I’m away from my computer. Helps separate work and personal life.

Your editing is just everything. So relaxing

[lucka]

That deep work you are talking about is called flow, it's my favourite state to be in.

[annahristova]

You have such a clear tone of explaining, it's really satisfying to just listen to you.

I love this. Most of what you’ve shared, has been apart of my routine. However, I do need to start getting dressed in the morning. Working from home is good for my mental health, but it does mean I need to be cognitively aware of work verses home styles. Thank you!

This is the video that first drew me to your channel, and now it's my favorite! I started working from home due to the COVID-19 outbreak in early March, and I am scheduled to stay working from home until October of this year...I wish I could make it permanent! I've started incorporating many of your tips and they have really helped. The only one I still struggle with (as many of my coworkers do) is actually getting dressed for the day! I tend to just get up and start working, instead of making time for my normal morning routine. My goal this month is to re-establish my morning routine. I think it will really help to make me feel much more productive. Thank you, Meghan!

I have extensions on my browser that help keep me focused during work hours. Also, I pay attention to my natural energy levels as to how I plan my day. The afternoons are when I’m the most groggy, so I always plan some kind of movement after lunch. Trying to work through it doesn’t work, but getting outside for 20 minutes help me build up a second wind of energy to work a bit longer.

I'm still going out to work as a Key Worker here in the UK...this is for 2 or 3 days a week. On other days I'm working from home and loved this and thinking about how to make the most of my time...especially as the kids and my husband are at home working and doing school also. It's such a different way of life but we can all master it with a conscious effort.
Stay safe!

This was so helpful.I'm not used to working from home and have been struggling a little but, but this pointed me in the right direction.thank you

Thank you for such great ideas and reminders, Meghan. I really like the appearance of your Evernote setup--the clean, white page, the checklist with a bulleted list beneath it, and the calendar. Would you ever do a How I Use Evernote or Evernote Basics video? I've found Evernote's own tutorials really complicated and more intended for people who will use it in groups. My use would look more like yours, I think; just for me and not more complicated than needed. Thanks for thinking about it, and for the helpful video!

[ammaral_amri]

always positive vibes from your videos 🤍

[petitsjoujoux]

I've been replaying your videos on a playlist :) One of my best moment of the day is to make a tea and listen to your tips. I especially love your "Slow Living" video :)

[mickeeva]

Wow this was so satisfying to watch <3

[petitsjoujoux]

Ohhh I really NEEDED this video! Thank you so much! I'm very active at my job (chasing after kids), so teaching online/work meetings and sitting down makes my body feel TERRIBLE. My biggest tip is to just stand up during the meeting and stretch and move around. So far, my boss haven't fired me from looking silly on the screen xD!

[jyotib]

In these stressful times, your video is like a soothing balm Meghan .
I'm a doctor from India. So not working from home. Kindly do a video for people who r working there at the front and how to cope up with stress !
Love ya!

[lainsimple]

I love your videos! And this is especially helpful right now as many people are working from home. I like your tip about making time to eat lunch and take a break. I find myself ignoring those urges to eat just to finish what I’m working on. Ill try to be better about that!

[nataliataylor]

Some great tips thank you for sharing. I'm working from home temporarily due to the lockdown in the UK. I look forward to implementing some of these tips xx
