Life was rolling along–work, family, hobbies. Then, the headlines howled “PANDEMIC,” and your design team went remote, the white-collar antidote to a terrible virus working its way around the globe.
Resolute, you set out to gather remote work resources and make the most of your situation. When the news sites ran their work-from-home features, you stockpiled every available pro tip.
But for all your research, you could tell something was off. Remote life wasn’t the good life you imagined. What a mirage it was. “I’ll be up early. I’ll start the coffee. I’ll exercise.”
Reality hit hard.
Right away, distractions mounted. The mental flow so easily achieved in the confines of your cubicle vanished. Your stomach growled at odd hours. Crying children assailed your sanity. Naps beckoned. Either you couldn’t find the will to work or couldn’t stop working. There was no middle ground.
