Issue #67 (Tech Skills for Remote Developers) 05/25/20
In this week's hand-picked links below, maybe the most interesting is the article on why some people are better at working from home than others. There's lots of good info in it based on some ideas from a psychology professor and an assistant professor of organizational behaviour (I didn't even know that was a thing!).
Is your kitchen your office? If so, you might need better boundaries.
Here's one quote from the article that I think is important:
"One problem that people working from home are experiencing at the moment – both skilled remote workers and those new to telework – is a lack of boundaries. Your kitchen table might be both your desk and where you prepare dinner, which means you don’t have what’s called ‘domain specificity’ in which to calibrate behaviour."
Definitely check out the article in the links below for more on that, along with other observations that might help you if you're someone who has trouble being productive from home.
Now on to this week's hand-picked productivity links!
