Working from home or managing isolation of a new office setup, these 5 tips will help you get more done than you have before. 

In this episode we are talking about working from home, effectively productively and joyously. I know some of you have been working from home for the first time, some are more experienced at working from home, others are now back and forth in a hybrid type office, home situation. Some of you love it, some of you hate it, some of you struggle with it others are thriving with it.

There is no “one size fits all or some secret recipe” to get it right. Every family, every person’s situation is very different. So some of these tips will apply and some won't.

We have been locked down now in Costa Rica since March and have been homeschooling my 3 kids while trying to run our businesses online and we just found out that there will not be a return to classes for the rest of 2020!!

So I want to share with you some of my takeaways. But I want to set the context – the bottom line is no matter where you are working, what your situation or context is, it’s not just because of your environment that makes you less or more productive, it’s a mindset and discipline. Whether you are working from home on the kitchen table or at the office, many of these rules still apply to help you be more effective and productive working from home.

Will we have enough money? When will I have peace of mind again? What if my new boss and I don't get along? Will my kids be ok?
