As we continue to be bombarded with rules for working from home (i.e.: get dressed, set a schedule, have a designated work space, etc.), there are also some renegade advantages to consider.

  1. Your feet can be in whatever they like. There are a lot of UGG slippers working full time right now.
  2. Eyelids drooping after lunch? This is a common malady. Now you’re free to sneak in that ten-minute catnap and return refreshed and ready to go. No one will ever know.
  3. What about snacks? No need to wait for mealtime to take a brief cupboard raid for just the right boost. There’s nothing like a little fresh popcorn to get you back on track.
  4. Ahhh, the comfort of comfortable clothing.
  5. Don’t forget exercise. You can do it whenever and how ever you like. Mute the sound and hop on that treadmill for your next conference call.
  6. As your ramble around your computers, the most interesting articles just seem to appear out of nowhere. Don’t resist the urge to take a quick read. Consider this a learning experience and take advantage of the opportunity to expand your knowledge.
  7. It is easy to stay on-task with no distractions from coworkers. Add to that, no place to go.
  8. Nothing wrong with a posting a quick Facebook update.
  9. Your favorite recipe that needs to sauté for hours has now become do-able.
  10. And about your laundry: you always have something clean and ready-to-wear because you can toss it in the washing machine whenever you like.

Ultimately, it is gratifying to see entire cities and countries band together in a spirit of cooperation and concern for one another. Despite social distancing, we seem to be uniting in this common resolve. Everyone deserves a high-five or a fist bump when that becomes appropriate again.
