1 Establish a routine

One of the benefits of working from home is the flexibility to manage your own schedule. However, this can also lead to a lack of structure and discipline. To build resilience, you need to establish a routine that works for you and your team. This means setting clear boundaries between work and personal time, creating a comfortable and ergonomic workspace, and following a consistent daily plan. A routine can help you stay focused, motivated, and organized, as well as reduce anxiety and uncertainty.

I totally agree with creating a comfortable and ergonomic workspace. Speaking from experience, I settled down nicely into the WFH experience after I did this. Prior to creating it, I struggled a lot.

Co Working Space In case there is no office to go, explore option of going to co working space with small team of people and keep your stress level less , even if it’s for few hours.

2 Communicate effectively

Communication is crucial for software engineering, especially when working remotely. You need to collaborate with your colleagues, clients, and stakeholders, share feedback, and solve problems. To communicate effectively, you need to use the right tools and channels, such as video calls, chat apps, project management software, and code repositories. You also need to communicate clearly, respectfully, and frequently, and avoid misunderstandings and conflicts. Communication can help you build trust, rapport, and support, as well as improve your performance and quality.

3 Learn new skills

Working from home can be an opportunity to learn new skills and expand your knowledge. You can take advantage of online courses, webinars, podcasts, blogs, and books to keep up with the latest trends and technologies in software engineering. You can also seek feedback, mentorship, and coaching from your peers and managers to improve your skills and career prospects. Learning new skills can help you build confidence, creativity, and curiosity, as well as make you more adaptable and valuable.

4 Take care of yourself

Working from home can take a toll on your physical and mental health. You may experience fatigue, eye strain, back pain, or headaches from sitting in front of a computer for long hours. You may also feel lonely, bored, or depressed from the lack of social interaction and stimulation. To take care of yourself, you need to prioritize your well-being and happiness. This means eating well, sleeping enough, exercising regularly, and taking breaks. It also means finding hobbies, activities, and people that bring you joy and fulfillment.

Following habits helped me a lot to excel at working remotely. These are a result of me trying to optimise my day for about 4 years. Sleep. A good 8+ hours of sleep keeps you happy and productive. Exercise. At least 20 minutes a day of exercise, be it cardio, weight lifting, stretching keeps you happy and productive. Having some sort of reminder system for breaks and lunch and dinner. Strict cut off time and/or reserved rest time window. Occasional work from coworking spaces whenever there is a need for social interaction during the work day. Lastly, simply trying to have fun whenever working.

5 Embrace challenges

Working from home can present many challenges and difficulties that test your resilience. You may face technical issues, deadlines, bugs, or changing requirements that frustrate you and stress you out. You may also encounter personal or family problems that interfere with your work and life balance. To embrace challenges, you need to adopt a positive and proactive attitude. This means seeing challenges as opportunities to grow and learn, rather than threats or failures. It also means seeking solutions, resources, and help, rather than giving up or complaining.

Small tip I would like to add, one of the best parts about working from home is an ability to go for a walk, task is too hard? go for a walk, colleague stresses you out? go for walk, you get the point.

6 Celebrate achievements

Working from home can make you feel disconnected from your achievements and accomplishments. You may not receive enough recognition, appreciation, or feedback for your work. You may also not celebrate your milestones, goals, or successes with your team or company. To celebrate achievements, you need to acknowledge and reward yourself and others for your hard work and results. This means giving and receiving praise, gratitude, and compliments, as well as sharing your stories and experiences. It also means having fun, relaxing, and enjoying your work and life.
