Work from home: 5 Tips From People
It is possible to work remotely from home. Until the cat takes over. And then your neighbor, who you only can imagine is creating a computer-based time machine, switches on the loud machinery and power tools that are available on the other side of the street.
COVID-19 has made remote working a necessity instead of a luxury for many professionals. Which is more productive for us: the office or the home?
Your coworkers are often the most significant challenge to your productivity at the workplace. They drop at your desk, engage you in conversation, and then invite you to lunch -- according to my experience. While the social benefits may be very beneficial, they can also become a problem if you are easily distracted.

You are the only one working from home. There's no need to feel the same pressure from peers or a collective obligation to get things done. You don't need to wear pants.
