- Remember to say hi to your team at the start of the day
- and bye at the end :)
- Automate as many of these things as possible - manually remembering things is hard, but setting alarms/calendar events is easy.
- Don't let friends or family assume you're available because you work from home; You do not own all the errands or chores, you're not always available to help with things, you (probably) can't take last-minute long lunches.
- Buy some art for your workspace.
- Keep your workspace clean so you're not tempted to clean instead of working.
