Combatting loneliness and frustration as a remote worker
Working from home isn’t all pajamas and cuddly cups of coffee. There can be a lot of hard work — and loneliness — involved.

Are you one of the millions of people who have suddenly found themselves engaging in the world of online or remote work? We’re officially living in the age of social distancing, and that means more of us are going virtual than ever before. Working from home can be powerful and freeing, but it can be frustrating too. If you’ve found yourself down, frazzled or otherwise burnt-out with your new working circumstances — don’t despair. You can take charge and get productive again with a little perseverance and know how.
Don’t let the stark new professional realities hold you back from achieving the things you need to achieve. Take charge of your work-from-home routine and get back on track to scoring the wins that can help you feel as though you are still a part of it all. Though it seems the world has stopped turning…it hasn’t. Time marches on and so do we. You can allow yourself to get beat down, or you can take this new opportunity to learn more about yourself and your coworkers than you ever knew before. All it takes is getting creative and putting your nose to the grindstone.
