I was happy to sit down with Robert Sösemann, Elizabeth DeGroot, LeeAnne Rimel, Peter Chittum and Kevin Poorman to have an in-depth conversation about our experiences working from home. Personally, I used to have a standard commute – nowadays my immediate co-workers have been a couple of cats. In this session, we talk about a wide variety of topics, but focus on challenges in working remotely; including maintaining a healthy mental and physical lifestyle, productivity tips on getting things done while finding personal time, and working with team members over the Internet. Some key highlights include:
The importance of keeping a routine, even when your schedule is without cues (like a daily commute)
Making time and space that is both dedicated and distinct from work
How aspects of the development cycle can provide cues for work throughout the day
What kind of hardware is important in setting up your office space – especially the chair
Tips on what to do if you don’t have the luxury of a dedicated room for work
