How do you create and maintain boundaries between work and home when you work remotely?
In my first apartment my desk was in my living room. For myself it was hard to spend almost the whole day just in one room. Now I have a separate room at home for work and strict boundaries between "work" and "life". It helps me a lot to calm down after work, because I have also physical boundaries in my apartment. What about you?

Door is the best assistant. Helps you to focus and not get distracted by family:)

@violetta_chernobuk totally agree. In combination with noise cancelling its probably the best assistant
I work either from the bedroom or from the living room. To be honest, I don't care.
Seems like a great approach, did it help you maintain a balance between work and life? If it did I would love to know and practise it for myself.
@sidraref definitely it helps. But in my opinion a good work-life-balance is a decision you choose for yourself and not a physical boarder.
working from home really messes with my schedule. I can't keep focus during work and can't rest well. for that reason I prefer not working from home but when I have no other choice I also like to create physical boundaries at home and I also don't do anything besides sleeping or resting in my bedroom.
@elle_g thanks for sharing. Remote work is not for everybody, but nice that you create some boundaries too, when you have to work from home.
@marvin_maendle do you have any tips on how to work from home more effectively? I'd like to hear your insight on eeping the work-life balance during remote work
