Struggling to work from home? Our remote team here at Gravity Forms share their expert advice…

By Megan Jones

Chris Hajer (Support Engineer) … “My #1 recommendation for anyone new to remote working, or new to working from home, would be: stick to your routine. Get to sleep and get up at the same time of day as when you commuted for work. Work out at the same time. Get dressed in the same way as if you were going into the office. Keep a semblance of a schedule, so you are not easily distracted by “all the things” that could also be done.” In the last couple of months, millions of people across the globe have had to adjust to the challenges of working from home. For some this has been harder than others, and as time moves on, many may find different issues or setbacks emerge. Change on this scale is never easy, but luckily the Gravity Forms team is here to help.
