😎 Tip: Have a WFO (Work From Outdoors) day.

Sometimes, to unlock your best work, you need a change in scenery. And for all of you working from home, a way to get one quickly is to move your Vitamin-D-deprived body outside. On nice days, why not relocate your workspace to your porch, balcony, or patio? This requires just a bit of prep work: The night before, you’ll want to pack a bag with everything you’ll need (water, snacks, sunscreen, a portable charger, and maybe a DIY laptop sun shade).

As Herbert Lui writes on Forge, changing your environment can help clear your obstructed mind, allowing you to gain a different perspective. Of course, if your neighbor unexpectedly starts the jackhammer on his latest backyard project, it’s easy enough to go back indoors, put on your noise-cancelling headphones, and plan your outdoor adventure for another day.
