The global spread of COVID-19 is affecting every one of us. Instead of panicking let's take a step back and do whatever we can control. We all can take precautions like staying at home, washing our hands frequently, self quarantining ourselves and practicing social distancing which can help us beat the disease. Now is the time to stay calm, spread love and hope across the world.
As Fred Rogers once said in a time of great adversity:
“Often when you think you're at the end of something, you're at the beginning of something else.”
While there is a lot of uncertainty around the world, there is also a lot of hope.
We all are in this together and we will get through this together 🙏

2. Put on the same clothes you normally would when going to work.

New WFHers! I’ve been working remotely for five years. Some things I learned along the way:
— Sahil Lavingia (@shl) March 5, 2020
- Shower and leave the house, even if you plan to come back soon after. Sets the tone for the rest of the day and avoids cabin fever.
As someone that’s been #workingfromhome for a few years (but would much rather be in a studio) here’s my tips that have kept me alive:
— REX (Knights And Bikes OUT NOW!) (@rexbox) March 11, 2020
1) Get up & get some exercise! It’s the last thing you want to do, but it’ll put you in a more energised positive mood for the rest of the day. pic.twitter.com/2JXjKTiWlv
Working from home? I've worked from home for more than 10 years. A few hot tips:
— Sarah Pulliam Bailey (@spulliam) March 10, 2020
1) Get up & move every hour. Go outside if you can.
2) Send regular updates to your manager.
3) Log your accomplishments. Your bosses don't see you, so you need to make sure they see your work.
Remote workers, what is your advice to those who are going to be working remotely for the foreseeable future, thanks to the Coronavirus?
— Evette Dionne (@freeblackgirl) March 11, 2020
My best tip is to have a separate place to do your work that’s not your bedroom (unless working on your bed is your thing).
I'v worked from home for 14 years and since many of you might have to do so soon, a few tips.
— Philip Nolan (@philipnolan1) March 11, 2020
- Shower. Seriously. It kickstarts your day.
- Men, shave. It's a discipline.
- Get dressed, unless it's summer - then just wear shorts and a T-shirt.
Based on a couple of days of WFH, I have identified so many startup opportunities and have never been more excited about the future of how we do work in sweatpants
