I think that today nobody is exempt of what is happening with the coronavirus. We all have been impacted in one way or another (or several!). But it's not that bad. What can we rescue from all this?
First, the lucky ones who can work from home and who used to do it once a week, now have the opportunity to completely switch to this modality. Indeed, I must confess that I really enjoy it.
But this is not the only positive aspect. In this video you will find some tips for remote work and other advantages that I can see in all this situation. Here is a summary of what you can find on the video:
Advice for remote work
- Find a quiet work space where you could avoid interruptions and, if it's possible, with natural light.
