10 Dos and Don’ts for Remote Workers

1.       Do take your laptop out to the porch/deck on beautiful days.
2.       Don’t use video chat while working in your pajamas.
3.       Do take frequent opportunities to mention your 15 foot commute to still-commuting friends.
4.       Don’t answer the phone “Joe’s Bar and Grill”, unless, in fact, you are “Joe’s Bar and Grill”.
5.       Do build time into your schedule to give the dog tummy rubs.
6.       Don’t continue the monthly birthday cake routine if you now work all by yourself.
7.       Do remember you no longer have a cleaning crew keeping dust and trash from accumulating in your office.
8.       Don’t let the cat eat your mouse.
9.       Do make sure your Skype call has ended before belting your rendition of “I feel like a woman”.
10.   Don’t forget to “leave” the office.
Happy Friday!
