Our HAPPYWARE online server configurator tool allows you to custom-build your ideal server system quickly and easily, without the need for extensive IT knowledge. I will take a break here and let you think about that.The configuration of a specialized server system can be tedious, even for IT professionals. So if you like your PJs, just wear OTHER PJS for work than at night. And being more pretty doesn’t make me a better consultant, very unfortunately. I do not feel more productive in a nice dress, I just feel prettier. Better modify /adjust your existing habits so they fit into the new situationĪdvice no3: dress up/ don't stay in your PJs!Īgain. So I ran, although it was cold and rainy and dark and Monday and although there was a huge, not so say massive and enormous lack of coffee!Ĭonclusion: trying to establish new habits in a new situation can be hard. What worked: Going running, as this became my habit WAY before wfh. I tried to go outside and perhaps it was not the right time and situation (it was too cold, too rainy, too Monday, too no coffee yet) but I felt stupid going out just to start with work after that. I was very impressed by that one! And I tried. Make sure, you find the right time to work, because you need to make your work work, not follow a schedule. You are a night owl? Fine! You are an early bird? Fine as well. Respect your mood, this will lead to good manners. Very, very, uncool.Ĭonclusion: Do what feels good for you. If I force myself to stick to super productive eat-that-frog habits at home, i get seriously grumpy, don't enjoy what I do, become easily frustrated and would probably start to blame my customers for that. I am at least partially a professional procrastinator. Stay in my PJs till lunch (which is most of a time a salad I buy in the grocery store next corner and I really don't dare to go shopping in my PJs), sort my stuff, get an overview what I shall do and do something else instead. I even manage to document this for insta/twitter :)īut when I am at home, I love to extend my resting time by having a lazy morning. So I get up, make myself ready, sometimes even go running in the morning, have healthy breakfast and be on the road. I am just not that person! It is easy for me to wake up very early if I have an appointment and need to be on time SOMEWHERE. Wow, this really sounds like one of those #MondayMotivation Insta posts! But although I tried, it felt wrong. But somehow, it just felt wrong to copy/paste someone else's routine into my life.Īdvice no1: start your working day early! So I wanted to follow all these advices, just because they looked productive and energetic and like as if the authors really had their **bleep** together. So when our WFH season started, there were a lot of blog posts about "I wfh since 10 years, here is my advice", but they didn't resonate to me. These are just my individual learnings, not an objective thruth that needs to apply to everyone or is valid recommendation for every single person on the world. The rest of my working time i spend at home. About 70 % of my working days, I work on-Site at customers, doing workshops or just work with them on concepts. I am one of those persons, who just Sometimes works from home. If you only work sometimes from home or just need to work impromtu from home, you are most probably not that equipped (tools) and prepared (your routines). When you start and finish your work, how you incorporate family duties into your working day, how you feel about your own work -life balance. In our branch of Tech, very likely, you have some geek stuff / Lego / Certificates in your homeoffice. So if you almost always wfh, no matter if there is a virus or not, you will probably have a professional set up for your working gear and surround yourself with items, that make your work easy and your day delightful. I think there is a huge difference between "working from home" and "sometimes working from home". I strongly encourage you to reply, ask questions, participate and contribute :raising_hands: Wow, challenging times for us! I would love to use this conversation to share with you how I feel about WFH.
