Episode notes
Remote Work Needs Its Own Rules
- Remote work differs meaningfully from office work, so copy-pasting office habits rarely works at home.
- Joseph Chance urges consciously adapting your environment and establishing personal rules to suit your functioning.
Create Clear Boundaries And Rituals
- Agree boundaries with housemates like no work talk before breakfast or after work to protect downtime.
- Use transition rituals (dress, candle, special mug) to shift into and out of work mode deliberately.

- Set fixed working hours and schedule another activity afterwards to force finishing on time.
- Break tasks into micro-steps to trigger quick satisfactions and overcome start-up inertia.
