Transitioning to Remote Work3/18/2020 4 MIN READ In light of the disruptions caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19), many are finding themselves working remotely, getting laid off, having their hours reduced, and more. This article is focused on those who are able to continue working from home. For those of you who are looking for advice and resources because you cannot work from home, please Contact Me and let's take it from there. A recording of the Transitioning to Remote Work webinar on March 18 is available here (54:26). How should I tackle working from home?For whatever reason, we're working from home now. All hundreds of thousands of us. And we're all coming at this new reality from VERY different perspectives. Here are just a few of the perspectives I talk about on my webinar that goes with this Blog article. I'm sure there are many more where this came from.

It's important to know these three things because then you will know the #1 thing: It is NOT 100% your responsibility to figure this out. It's only 1/3 of your responsibility.

Lastly, I would like to share: Mer's Top 10 Favorite Apps. Rather than go through them in detail in this article, you'll find their logos below.
