In the past, I’ve done hybrid work, I’d finish all the easy stuff at home and keep the hard stuff for the office, and I’d go in for a couple of days to finish it all.
I got a really good offer from a different company, and I’ve taken it, but unfortunately, this company only does remote work and does not provide you with any equipment. Problem is that I have a powerful desktop but no laptop, which means my options are either to buy my own laptop and work somewhere else when I need to get work done or make a partition/new user on my desktop that’s strictly for work, but I am scared that its going to affect my productivity.
Any input or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
1000% option 1. You need to have a work space that is only for work and nothing else. Get the laptop and set it up in a room far away from any other devices(TV, desktop, etc).
I have access to an apartment close to where I live but it’s completely unfurnished. I’ll probably buy a couple of chairs and tables and set up some wifi there, that should be good enough. Thanks for the advice.
Indeed, that’s perfect. Coming from another dev with ADHD, the enemy of productivity is distractions. A space dedicated to working, free of other things to do, is the best way to keep you on track.
Agreed. Spent a few weeks in a fog before I finally did this. It all starts blending together after a while, especially if you live in an apartment.
