In a recent post at HigherEchelon.com, Salesforce Consultant Katie Levy offers six tips for employees who are working from home more than ever before thanks to coronavirus-related measures. Click the link for the full rundown, but here are some key takeaways for those looking to remain productive from their virtual office space: 

1. Designate a workspace. Find a reserved space for working and a separate and distinct area for leisure activities.
   
   
2. Establish a routine. Create a structure that helps you get in work mode and transition back out when it is time unplug.
   
   
3. Set work hours and break time! When you work from home it is harder to disconnect. Consider scheduling lunch and breaks on your calendar.
   
   
4. Stay connected with your co-workers. Employ remote collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams or Salesforce Chatter.
   
   
5. Set boundaries to stay productive. Have a conversation with your spouse, children, or roommates by establishing ground rules for interaction and keep the lines of communication open.
   
   
6. Be flexible and willing to adjust. Allow yourself to learn and then continue to adapt and adjust to keep your relationships strong and to enhance your productivity.
