@dkrape Part of our problem is we don't have separate rooms. We have a 1000 sq ft studio—it's just one big room.

My girlfriend and I are going mad trying to book meetings that don't overlap. It's especially difficult when most of my meetings are ad hoc.

In a normal environment I'd go to the lobby or a coffee shop. That's not an option right now.

@RossFloate @Apple Unfortunately, I want the iMac's real estate for design work. There's no way to do that without handling company files on my personal computer, which I don't want to do.

It has taken a month, but I feel like I'm getting in the swing of working from home. Maybe I'm managing all the impromptu meetings better?

I still wish I was able to use my @Apple iMac as a second monitor though. I don't think I can match my productivity with only a laptop.

Since I started working from home about 3 weeks ago, mostly stopped listening to my audiobooks and podcasts. I haven't found a good way to get back in that habit.

Thinking about purchasing some new wireless over-ear headphones so my gf doesn’t have to listen to all my meetings about drawing squares. Most important features: Comfort, Battery Life, USB-C charging. Noise canceling is a plus.

One thing I've noticed about working from home—my morning shower is now at noon every day.

I am certain @zoom_us has more important features to work on, but a thumbs down reaction would make it a lot easier to disagree in a meeting.

No wonder I'm the only one on our standup. Had no idea today was a holiday.

I'm supposed to be working from home today. What an inconvenient time for my router to die.
