Full transparency, I’ve backspaced about five different intros to this article. If that doesn’t scream “working from home in 2020,” I’m not sure what does. Work-wise, I was one of the fortunate ones (if there’s such a thing) when the pandemic hit. I’ve been a remote writer for years, my routine seemingly on auto-drive. Of course, pandemics don’t like routines. The cluster of external distractions and the endless cycle of bad news has fried my internal writer’s brain into a tizzy at times and, ultimately, forced me to totally retool my work regime. With hopes it may help as you work from home whether you’re a writer or pursuing another artistic pursuit, I’d like to share that routine with you. So as we whirl through the daily rollercoaster of quarantine and beyond, here’s a simple guide that will keep you on the tracks no matter what the loop de loop is as you work remotely. 1. Have a designated workplace. 2. Factor in commute time. 3. Keep office hours. 4. Do not disturb. 5. Take breaks. While remote work sounds like a writer’s dream, remember: we’re fragile creatures, who typically fall in a gray area between observers and agoraphobics. We need structure. So create that however you can and, above all else, be gentle with yourself.
