Just started working from home and trying to figure this out
Got approved for 3 days from home last month and I'm still adjusting. My boss thinks I'm slacking because I'm not at my desk by 8:30am every day, but I'm getting my work done and actually being more productive. The thing is, the kids know I'm home and keep coming to my office door. My 4 year old knocked 3 times yesterday during calls. Wife says I need boundaries but it's hard when they're literally 20 feet away. Anyone else dealing with this? How do you separate work from being present?
Three days from home is a game changer for mornings though. I've been doing this for a few months and your boss will see the quality of work matters more than the presence. Give it time.
