Amalie Drury, on our copywriting team:
“I use good noise-canceling headphones to tune out household distractions when I really need to focus. And I’ve learned I need to sit in a desk chair most of the time. No lounging on the sofa or in bed with my laptop—it’s actually not so comfortable.”
Suzanne Michaels, creative director:
"I try to stave off the temptation to over-snack by sipping tea throughout the day. My electric kettle has seen a LOT of use."
Donna Thorson Eastman, one of our project managers:
“Make your work space as inviting as possible—good lighting, a comfy chair, even a scented candle.”
Ginny Voedisch, on our copywriting team:
"It's so important to stick to a schedule and not let time get too fluid. Set a timer for lunch, and separate from the laptop to mindfully enjoy a meal. Take a coffee break. Treat yourself to a home brew and a cookie (just one!).”
Traci Paetsch, creative director:
“Don't forget your H2O! Make a fresh, purified pitcher each morning to drink throughout the day. I love our Soma 10-Cup Water Filter Pitcher.”
Celeste Sisson, our brand experience manager:
“Shower and put on real clothes every morning! It goes a long way.”
Claudia Renzi, art director:
“Bake something! Working in an office, it’s hard to find the time to pop something in the oven. Working from home has unique perks—take advantage of them.”
One more thing: We recommend resetting your workspace at the end of each day so you can return to a clean area each morning. (Future you will thank you.)
