Two years of COVID

It has been two years now since we started working at home due to COVID.   A few notes on what worked for me.

● A separate office area is a must so you can concentrate on work.
● A good phone with handsfree.  There are conference calls and not having to hold/cradle the phone is a must.
● A good network setup.  I have a router where I can set up multiple SSID.  I have one for work and only work.  Nothing else in the home network can see that.  It also helps to have decent high-speed internet. 
● A comfortable chair.  If you work all day then a comfortable chair is a must.
● A proper desk with keyboard tray.  It helps having the keyboard (and mouse) at the right height so your hands, wrists and arms aren't stressed.
● Taking regular breaks.  Get up, walk at least a few minutes every 20-30.
● Have your lunch outside of your 'office'.  Take a break away from work and unwind.
● At the end of day shut it all down.  Take 'me' time away from work.
