"I have three kids ranging in age from 6 to 12. My husband is the main care provider, since I’m so busy at work. He has his own business and made the decision not to earn for as long as it takes. It’s only the first week, but we’re having a really good time.
What’s working for us is having a schedule and getting outside as often as possible. Also, getting dressed and ‘ready’ in the morning seems crucial. At first, we tried pajamas all day, but it sucked the motivation out of the room. Headphones have been key, too, since we’re all working in the same room. I converted my dining room into a study room.”
"I’ve worked from home before but never longterm. I’ve taken early-morning conference calls from the house and responded to one-off emails, but working from the office has always been a better solution for me. When my colleagues and I address daily concerns and pain points, the office setting gives real time feedback that typically takes much longer to receive when working remotely from the house. Not to mention that the work environment allows absolute focus on work, putting family life temporarily on the back burner. This allows me to be much more productive throughout my day and keeps work priorities at the forefront of my mind.
As I learn to work from home, it is difficult to separate work life from family life because of not being able to remove myself physically by driving to the office.”
