Many professionals around the world are getting their first taste of working from home as the world tries to slam the door on the spread of COVID-19. Some, like me, will make the adjustment within the first five minutes. Self-isolation is something you can get used to.
Others, though, will feel a little lost.
Inspiration is a click away, thanks to thousands of Apple users posting pictures of their work-from-home setups on Instagram.
Work-from-home setups: No two are alike
Without a lot of words, you will see some themes emerge.
A desk or table with a nice view might help a newbie settle in.
If a nice view is not possible, try putting out a few meaningful photos or tchotchkes around the work station. However, avoid clutter.
If possible, keep your setup separated from your most relaxing living spaces. If you don’t believe in bringing work home, set that hard boundary with yourself as you create a home office.
You will miss your co-workers but dogs and cats seem to make that less of a problem. You can reward their behavior with Employee of the Month honors.
