So, what are those tips?

1. Have a dedicated workspace, or work area - one that is separate from the rest of your home
2. Get the tools you need - and make sure you have a decent internet connection!
3. Have a regular routine (both a start and end time and how you kick off your day)
4. Talk to those who you live with so that you educate them about how working from home works
5. Take breaks and move around! Stay active away from the computer and work.

What's the sixth, bonus tip? You'll have to listen and find out. :-)
