I found this tweet from editor, Christian Glawe very helpful. Please list your work at home ideas in this thread. Thanks!
I know a lot of #post #edit #postchat folks have suddenly been “displaced” from their offices, & are working from home. I've actually been doing the bulk of my work from home for several years now, and I've learned a few things that I'd like to share.
Keep to your work routine/schedule. Take a shower, have breakfast, put on real clothes. Make sure you are at the desk by 9:00 (or 10:00, if that's your normal time), just like a 'normal' day. Working from home doesn't mean sleeping in, and “making it up” at night.
Home space = distractions. If possible, locate your office somewhere other than living room/kitchen. Resist the urge to do household tasks during work hours, no matter how small they may seem. Cleaning the kitchen can wait. Mail can wait. Laundry can wait.
Turn off phone/computer notifications. Distractions are more insidious when it's just you in the office. Check email/messages first thing in am, lunch, and again late afternoon. If comms are coming more often, then check every hour or so, but still turn off notifications.
For heaven's sake, get outside for 30 mins/day. You aren't commuting, so Vitamin D intake (from the sun) is going to be less. I get out of chair for 5 minutes every hour or so, go stand outside, and refocus eyes/mind by looking at some trees. Eat lunch outside, if possible.
Once the day is done, it's done. Resist urge to “polish that scene a little bit after dinner.” One of most insidious traps about working from home is how easy and accessible work is, 24/7. Once day is done, get up, move away from desk, and stay away until morning.
That said, flexibility is one of greatest assets of working from home. If you must shift your day's hours (appt/meeting), do so. Keep careful track of your hours/time, so you know when your day is done, and so you can provide accurate time counts for invoicing/payroll.
Working from home, you are most likely your own AE, so take special care to work carefully: Increment project files each and every day. Backup projects both to cloud and locally. Even though you are home, you are a professional... work like one.
