Planning, Routines and Tips for Remote Work – Emergent News

Emergent: Thought-provoking articles and other interesting finds
A month ago, I certainly wouldn’t have predicted that my company would have been faced with the decision to strongly encourage (or even require) everyone to work from home. With the coronavirus outbreak, we’re all wondering what’s going to happen next – how bad is it going to be and how will our lives and our businesses be impacted?
For me, instead of worrying about possible outcomes, I find that it’s best to focus on thinking through potential scenarios. I map out and even write down scenarios. For the business, it’s a great time to think through different financial scenarios and make plans for what you might change if you have to adjust course.
In the meantime, here are a few helpful articles on planning, working remotely, and more.
