• Use Google Hangouts – if bandwidth is not on your side, dial into a video call but get audio through your phone.   
• Practice “one tab working.”
• Act the part – get dressed and eat breakfast.
• Play around with your schedule and energy.
• Working from home does not mean working all the time.
• Create your daily to-do list the day before.
