Ask HN: Devs now working remotely, how productive have you been recently? 6 years ago
Took me a while to get into the groove, but now I'm more productive than ever. Some tips:
- Designate a separate room or area as your workspace. This will help you establish boundaries and have separate contexts for working / relaxing.
- Stick roughly to your normal schedule. Once work hours are over, stop until the next day.
- Get dressed as if you are going to the office. I find that this gives me a psychological boost of taking work more seriously.
I also benefit from a short (~20 min) power nap after lunch, which isn't always possible at the office.
