Remote work has its perks—no commute, comfy clothes, and unlimited snack breaks—but it also comes with its own set of challenges. To help you stay productive (and sane), here’s a short guide to the do’s and don’ts of working from home. Follow these, and you’ll avoid the classic pitfalls—like accidentally becoming a cave-dwelling, email-obsessed hermit.

? ?????? ???????????????????? – Just because your “office” is a few steps from your bed doesn’t mean work should creep into your entire life. Let people know when you're online, and just as importantly, when you’re off—unless you want Slack messages haunting your dreams.
? ???????? ???????? ?????? ?????? – Your laptop might be your best work buddy, but it won’t remind you to eat. Step away from the screen, have a real meal (no, coffee doesn’t count), and resist the urge to survive solely on snacks.
? ?????? ???????? ???????? ???????? ???????? ???????? – Video calls may not be everyone’s favorite, but seeing actual human faces (not just profile pictures) helps you stay connected. Plus, it’s a great excuse to put on something other than pajama pants—at least from the waist up.

? ?????? ?????? ?????? – If your chair is starting to feel like a second skin, it’s time to move. Stretch, take a walk, or at least stand up every once in a while—your back (and future self) will thank you.
? ???????? ???????????? – Working remotely doesn’t mean working in a vacuum. Speak up in meetings, check in with your team, and don’t let your boss forget you exist. A well-placed GIF in a chat can work wonders.
? ???????????? ???? ???????? ?????? – Just because your home setup is cozy doesn’t mean you don’t deserve a real break. Step away from the emails, take that vacation, and resist the urge to “just check in” while you’re supposed to be sipping a cocktail (or mocktail) somewhere relaxing.
