1. Try to find yourself a dedicated and comfortable spot to work that you can associate with your job and leave when you’re off the clock — that means get off the couch, and out of bed.
   
   
2. When working alone, you should keep a more structured daily schedule than usual. Make sure it includes the normal breaks throughout the day, either to play with a dog or take a walk around the block or grab the day’s mail.
   
   
3. it’s important to go beyond email and use other digital tools that can better replicate the in-person office experience and provide for clear communication. Furthermore, better communication while remote can help maintain your relationship with your colleagues, managers, and direct reports. It’s also important for managers to encourage employees to share their opinions or concerns about a particular project so they don’t feel like they’re being dismissed just because they’re not in the same room.
   
   
4. Remember Everyone Works Differently. Managers should remember that not every employee wants to work from home, a shift that can be stressful for some. As companies increasingly mandate that many employees must work from home during the coronavirus outbreak, it’s key they communicate as much as possible and help employees struggling with the change.
