Great article and the number one tip is motivation and organization. I too have been working from home and initially I was lucky if I was dressed by mid day. Now I treat it as though I was going to the office. It is a great lifestyle if you can organize yourself.

You’ve got a pretty neat home office there. For me, what works are mini breaks: they are extremely crucial to a healthy work-at-home life and it also helps increase my productivity. By mini breaks that would mean at least 10 minutes break per hour to eat, drink, get some small stuff done, etc.

I work 100% from home for a large tech corporation where I have been for over a decade. I have supreme flexibility and feel very privileged with the trust they have in me. Still, working from home takes supreme discipline. The tips here are all true and excellent. I also try to make the environment very calming and relaxing with soft and low music and sometimes with incense burning.

Hi J.D.

You know J.D. I didn’t get to talk much about my chair, but I so share your sentiments in finding the right chair being quite a task. The chairs we have now seemed so comfortable in the store, and my husband likes it very much, but it is too big for me, and I actually end up not sitting in it properly.

I think in the end sitting for prolonged periods of time is not going to feel great, no matter what chair we have. We need to incorporate proper movement in their as well.

I’ve always had a tough time finding the right chair. I used to luck into it, but then the more ergo my chairs got at work, the worse they felt … what irony.

Hi Lee

I am most touched by how you summarized your thoughts and feelings of what I presented in the video. You are right on with all those things in how I feel and how I approach my work…and I have to say life in general.

And speaking of that, I think that the less cluttered our life is, just as our desks, it can make for a that much better perspective of all that is. How we approach one thing, is usually a good indicator of how we approach all the important things in our life.

Thanks so much for your comment and stopping by to share your thoughts!

Good day!

Just completed watching the video and things that I appreciated or that are my takeaways would be:

1. Personal.
2. Simple.
3. Reduce feelings of being overwhelmed.
4. “Happy” — i.e. ways to stay happy.
5. Unity — i.e. team spirit.
6. Clutter reduction.

Thanks for sharing! Good reminders.
