If you're reading this article, you're reading words written by a Work from Home master. We have a lot of experience doing this on our team, and if you need some tips and tricks to make it work for you, we've got you covered. It's not always easy because distractions abound and time gets distorted. Keep your eye on the prize and use some of our recommendations to help you.

Add a second or third monitor to your workstation. One monitor might have been enough before, but if you want to keep up with communications, emails, and whatever project you're working on, then you're going to need some more screen real estate.

All those meetings you used to have to go down the hall for? Now you're doing them right from your desk chair! Make sure you're equipped with a camera, headphones, or teleconferencing equipment so you can participate. Or at least pretend to participate while you give your dog a belly rub.

Don't forget, though, that you're not the only one working from home right now! Lots of people have recently discovered they never really had to drive to work in the first place. The problem is, though, this has put a big strain on home internet. Make sure your own network has the best equipment possible so you don't get knocked offline when it's incovenient.
