Commuteless

When you work from home, you never "go home". So how do you know when your day is over? How do you signal to yourself that it's time to be done? Somedays it feels like the work is never going to end, but it's because we haven't established boundaries for ourselves and scheduled out our days. Working too much may feel more productive, but you're on your way to burnout. In this episode we talk about setting boundaries, routines to wrap up work, and regulating yourself toward a healthier work day.

On today's show we had the great privilege of welcoming our good friend Austin Saylor to the show. He's a motion designer who has been working from home for almost four years and brings a great perspective on running his own business while working remote.

Working in an office or directly around other people provides you with a context of communication, both verbal and non-verbal. There are plenty of opportunities to engage with co-workers and get or receive information. Working from home means you have to be much more intentional about information, relationships, and communication with those you work with. In this episode we talk about how to improve your online communication with your workmates and why it's important to foster as much clarity and understanding as possible.

There are two "categories" of people you have to learn to communicate with when you work from home: the people in your life and the people on the other side of the screen. In this episode we talk about how you can communicate with people in your life and how it can help set the tone of your work life.
