Some #wfh thoughts and observations, in no particular order:
1. I& #39;m standing a lot more at home. I have standing desks both at home and the office, but some days at home I& #39;m spending at least half the day standing (which is a lot for me).
2. Having windows that open in my home office is amazing. Weather has been beautiful, windows have been open. Perfect.
3. It& #39;s a lot harder drawing work/life boundaries working from home. I find myself checking email outside of "working hours" a lot more frequently.
4. Far fewer meetings on my (and everyone& #39;s) calendar. Goes with the whole concept of "most meetings should be emails..."
5. Communication is difficult. Emails don& #39;t always cut it, and phone or even Zoom is less effective than face to face. Most businesses would be better off with fewer meetings, but there& #39;s an element to being in-person that is impossible to replicate.
6. I love wearing my Nike running shoes all day. My feet have never been happier and I& #39;ll be bummed to go back to "work shoes".
7. Most days I& #39;ve eaten lunch sitting in the sunshine in my backyard. My arms haven& #39;t been this tan in April since before I started in public accounting!
8. Seriously, wearing running shoes all day is just awesome.
That& #39;s all for now. I may continue adding to this thread as things come to mind.
