One tool is to make a list of the benefits of working at home. The decision to remain at home has been made, and the reality sets in. Feelings of grief and sadness are felt at the loss of work companions and comfort of office routines. People need to recognize these feelings, stay in touch with people, reevaluate their goals, and review the list they created of benefits of working at home. Finally boundaries have been set, routines have been created, and the at home office finally feels like a workplace.
People can finally enjoy the freedom of working at home.
