Given the state of current affairs, if there's one thing we can say with assurance, it's that you're likely to spend a more than usual amount of time indoors soon. And considering come what may, we gotta keep things moving, a significant portion of this time will be spent working from home.
Your surroundings have a lot of impact on your activity, and since staying productive in the middle of a crisis is essential at the moment, you might as well create your own designated work from home station. Not only will this help you with focus, and motivation, it will also help you separate your work and life at a place with far fewer boundaries than your office.
Picking The Spot
Be mindful about selecting a conducive setting while deciding on a designated work from home space. Ideally, if you have a spare room in the house, you can set up your WFH station there. If not, try to pick an unfrequented corner in the house, where you can easily block out outside interruption. The dining table is also a commonly chosen spot to work from home, but considering the lack of privacy, we wouldn't recommend it.

Picking your bed as your designated work from home idea is absolutely inadvisable, but if you must (tsk tsk), make sure you invest in a foldable bed tray or laptop stand, and keep everything clutter-free and organised.
