What I learned after working remote for 1 year

Shower and change your clothes often (or daily even)
Your significant other (who also works from home) isn’t your coworker — respect their time.
Leave the house (even if it’s to aimlessly walk around Jo-Ann Fabrics).
Don’t do house chores during work hours (because you’ll never remember to fold the laundry).
Don’t do work hours during downtime (because you’ll never stop working).
Have a special lunch at least once a week (order out, grill a hot dog).
Hang out with your friends.
Ping your coworkers just to say, Hey!
Build a tabletop for the treadmill and walk 5 miles every morning¹:

This is how I survived winter. ↩
