\nA recommendation came today at work that we should work from home from now on, to help reduce the spread of covid-19.<\/p>\n

A recommendation, not an order, but it’s one I definitely agree with. Especially after reading this article about what a big difference earlier social distancing can make<\/a> to slow down the virus’s spread.<\/p>\n

I don’t enjoy working from home. I feel isolated and shut in.<\/p>\n

I’m going to miss the physical act of getting to work. My commute is not the best part of my day but it’s good for me. In the morning it’s a good way to gradually come fully alert and ready to work. In the afternoon it’s a good way to wind down and let go of work tasks.<\/p>\n

My desk at home is not set up for long work sessions. It’s more of a storage area for “to do” items – paperwork, magazines to read, books to blog about – than a place for work. <\/p>\n

I only have the small 11-inch laptop monitor to work on – nothing like my three-monitor setup at the office<\/a>. Working on a small monitor makes me less productive but also has a weird kind of effect on my brain – after staring at a small rectangle for eight hours, by the end of the day I feel weird in the head. It’s like I get a kind of mental tunnel vision.<\/p>\n

I’m going to have to think about how to make this work, if this is the new reality for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
