If you’re one of the millions of Americans whose work has been shifted from an office or workplace setting to home due to COVID-19, you’ve no doubt had to navigate some changes to your daily routine and workflow.

Employees everywhere are trading cubicles for home offices and kitchen tables, daily meetings for video conferences and coffee breaks to fold-a-load-of-laundry breaks. Working from home has its benefits, like your daily commute being measured in steps instead of miles or maybe more flexibility to take care of your kids or certain tasks around the house, but it also offers challenges beyond making sure you have the technology and other resources to still do your job. Minimizing distractions, working while also trying to take care of children who are home from school, managing your boss and employers’ expectations, and even just creating a wall between workspace and living space are all hurdles that workers across the country and world are having to get over during the coronavirus pandemic.

Today on AirTalk, we want to hear from you -- what tips do you have for working from home? Do you make an effort to create a work from home routine that emulates your regular routine? How, if at all, do you ensure that work life and home life stay compartmentalized when the space where you conduct both is the same? Share your tips and tricks by joining our live conversation at 866-893-5722.
