Five ways to optimize working from home

The COVID-19 outbreak means that these are exceptional times.

Many of us are working from home. For some, it’s something we are used to. For others, it’s not.

An ex-colleague of mine at my day job is now an Executive / Leadership Coach, and I think he has some great ideas in his recent post.

It’s on LinkedIn…but you don’t need a LinkedIn account to view it.

What other ideas can you think of? Visit the Clever Commute page on Facebook to share your tips and tricks.
