Home food, no travelling in pollution( better health and save money ), more time with family like eating lunch together evening tea.  
 Little things but makes big difference

Tech Lead

Working from home for last 4 years. Some of the things that worked for me . 
  
 1. Have a strict routine for when you start, end, lunch or dinner breaks. 
 2. Have a separate working area in your house where your family knows not to disturb you, if you have a separate room that’s even better. If not set strict boundaries.  
 3. Have a set of things you want to accomplish for the day and make sure you start with a set of tasks that give you small wins and momentum to get going.  
 4. Follow 1-3 above :P

Investment Banking Associate

I work in remote mode full time, occasionally visit the office, once in 3 months. My office is located in a different city from where I live in.

The work I do is challenging and interesting, but I manage to complete my tasks by working for max 4-5 hours a day. Remaining time of the day, I get distracted, not with household duties but by doing research on random stuff. I want start a company, but I have no idea where to start. I consume a lot of information, yet most of the time I spend goes unproductive. By nature, I am very unorganized. 

Most of my friends are busy in their own world and I don’t want to disturb them seeking advice.

Any idea how I can get over this habit to make productive use of my time, while WFH?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Basically, I am interested in working for remote job. I have found far less resources and majorly all of them mention about open source contribution.

Anyone here who has gotten a remote job, can you explain the following-
1. How the experience has been?
2. How you got that job?
3. What are the pros/cons?
4. Would you recommend people to take it?

Supply Chain Manager

Thanks to social media, my attention span has new lows. Working remotely is making me inactive and end up spending tooo much time on scrolling. Not able to continuously work for even one hour without checking the phone. Anyone in a similar situation and how are you trying to get better?

Technical Specialist

I am an engineer and have been working remotely since the pandemic started. Initially, it was great as I could save time by not commuting to office but now I feel like I am missing out on something.

I don't know what it is but I just feel like I need to be in an office environment to thrive. Maybe it's the social aspect or the structure of having set hours, but whatever it is, I can't seem to find the same level of motivation when working from home.

Anyone else feeling this way? Any tips on how to make remote work more productive and enjoyable?

100% remote work is not working for me

I personally feel that it is much better if we work from home because I don’t fucking care about work at all.

I am looking to join a Remote based QA Role and focus on health/finance/travel


So I have been looking for remote QA with tech Stack (Selenium, Java, Python,Maven, TestNG, Api Testing, Appium and SQL)opportunities so that I can invest more (No rent), focus on health (less travel time more gym time), and travel (planning 2 international trips this year).

For folks working remotely, please share your advice on how I can achieve this and if you guys have any suggestions for any of these topics, I am open for conversation. Thanks.

How to keep yourself motivated?

Software Developer

I'm working from Home from past 8 years out of my 14 YOE. 
we don't have an ODC or seats allocated thus no option to goto office. 
During the initial days, I felt blessed about this WFH and lately it impacts my work life balance. 
I binge eating and binge watch tv shows when there's no priority work.

I feel I don't have any motivation to learn anything and also feel disconnected whenever I meet another techie. 

How do you all cope with WFH?


Thank you 🙏

Welcome to Mental Well-being's Private Community

These days, I feel lost at work. I keep procrastinating, with the first half of my mornings consumed by calls, and by the afternoon, I feel sleepy. I tell myself I’ll work at night but end up postponing it until early morning. I give 'in progress' updates during stand-ups, and somehow manage to finish everything under pressure on the last day of the sprint. It feels like I can’t motivate myself to work until the pressure hits. How can I overcome this behavior?

Struggling with motivation at work

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Curious to know what to do folks here do in their working hours when they are having a chill workload week/day in a WFH setup.

I just hopelessly wait for some ping or adhoc task to come up and end up wasting the whole time scrolling the phone.

What to do when bored during working hours

I work in a startup, have been since the past 4 years. Earlier it was WFH, I had the liberty to work whenever I want - task had to be done. 

With experience, I've felt that my work life balance has gone for a toss. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I feel exhaused and burnt out. This is also sucking out ownership from what I do. 

To all the GVs out here, have you guys tried doing something that's helped you? Or are we all on the same boat here? Are folks in MNCs going through the same? Genuinely seeking for help here. 

I just feel ki, I should stop running behind money now. Take a pay cut if needed and join a company thats a bit more established. 

Ps: In my case working from office seems like a total waste of time. I had been so much more productive at home. 

Thanks!

Work life balance - Tips

Data Analyst

As asked in the title. During office timings, I am really anxious to the point that I am unable to relax during lunch breaks as I am afraid I will get a message or a call that I might have to jump into. I know it sounds stupid, but I spend nearly 10 hours everyday with crippling anxiety. It has become so bad, I am considering quitting to work on myself just to get rid of this anxiety. However the Current market scenario doesn't allow me to me do this. I have asked my friends and family about this, but everyone says 'don't quit', 'work hard' Etc. I am sick of hearing this.

How do you deal with the crippling anxiety for WFH?

What all do you do to be productive at work?

The paradigm shift towards remote work, catalyzed by the global COVID-19 pandemic, has thrust organizations and individuals into uncharted territory, prompting a profound reevaluation of traditional work arrangements and inspiring spirited debates about the long-term viability of remote work models. While the immediate benefits of remote work are evident - the elimination of commutes, increased flexibility, and a purported boost in productivity - a closer examination reveals a complex tapestry of opportunities and challenges that extend far beyond the confines of the home office. 
On one hand, remote work offers the tantalizing prospect of a more balanced, fulfilling work-life integration, liberating individuals from the constraints of the nine-to-five grind and empowering them to craft their own schedules. It has democratized access to employment opportunities, enabling organizations to tap into talent pools spanning geographical boundaries and fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion. 
Moreover, the reduction in commuting has yielded environmental benefits, with decreased carbon emissions and a reduction in traffic congestion heralding a potential shift towards a more sustainable future. 
However, amidst the celebration of progress, there lies a shadowy underbelly of challenges that threaten to undermine the utopian vision of remote work. 
The pervasive sense of isolation that accompanies prolonged periods of remote work can exact a toll on mental health and well-being, eroding the sense of camaraderie and social cohesion that often flourishes in the physical workplace. The blurring of boundaries between work and personal life, exacerbated by the omnipresence of digital devices and the relentless march of virtual meetings, has rendered the elusive quest for work-life balance an ever more elusive pursuit.

Is Working from Home Effective for a Lifetime? Considering the Opportunity Cost🤷🏽

Analyst 

I shifted back to my home after having a happening life for 1 year. My main motivation for wfh was living with my parents as they are getting old, and having time for myself. Now I have time but I just waste it away in OTT and social media. What can I do to be productive? How can I start learning something new or work on a side project? How do I break the wheel of comfort and start?
