Telecommuting and desktop sharing under the pandemic

telecommuting

I believe many of you are staying at home and working remotely because of the epidemic. I, too, am waiting for the specific notification of the resumption of work. We will tentatively resume work in March ~ of course, it may be earlier. So this time let’s talk about telecommuting.

Telecommuting actually happens in a lot of companies, I’ve been there, I was in an American company, and even though we’re in an office, compared to the United States, the office is remote, and the tools that we use need to be remotely connected to overseas channels, so meetings are also remote video or audio. Of course, there are some department managers who only show up once a week, and the rest of the time are remote. And we still do, especially with iteration releases, sometimes because of the weather, the team will be at home remotely, and we’ll be at home at 3am, which is actually telecommuting.

Working from home is actually very comfortable, very comfortable, of course, it has its drawbacks, the biggest enemy is yourself, you need to self-discipline, you need to adjust your time, you need to do better time management, after all, your family you also need to allocate time. So let me give you some personal advice about telecommuting.

First of all, self-discipline, in the company, there are leaders watching you, you will consciously go to work, and there is an office environment, you will blend in. The temptation in the home, a lot of, at a meeting on the Internet, play games for a while, you it’s hard to concentrate on work, so must develop self-discipline, it is very difficult, actually when I was in 2017, have the opportunity to remote office in the home, even now we still have such benefits, so the habit of self-discipline has been well developed. That way, you can be more productive at home.

Secondly,, we should have a good schedule, usually we will go to bed at 23-24 o ‘clock or so, 6-7 o ‘clock in the morning (time varies from person to person) up, because of the epidemic, many people are lazy (of course, including your leaders and bosses), sleep to 10 o ‘clock in the morning, 3 o ‘clock in the evening to sleep, this is very normal, I am also. This is not good, because once you come back to work, you will not be used to it, and you will be very tired, so I quickly changed this routine. I don’t need to be too early in the morning, but I have to get up before 8 o ‘clock. Although your colleagues and leaders may not be online, why don’t you read the posts for insight into the technology, ok? Of course, adequate sleep should be guaranteed, I recommend at least 7 hours of sleep, so that the spirit of the next day is the best.

Third, don’t put off tasks until the end. One of the biggest changes after telecommuting is that tasks are less urgent and less urgent. For example, a request that was given to you for 1 day is now given to you for 5 days. But with more time, you can actually do a better job by putting more effort into it, because the leader can see it, and it’s better if you have more human needs from a product perspective.

The fourth point is interpersonal (customer) management, which most partners will not do in the usual company. However, if you are a TL, PM, TM or professional manager, you will be in contact with more or less people in your normal business. People are a very good and important resource. With more time at home, it is also good to spend some time with people you have dealt with before and care for each other. In the end, in the whole project management process, people are the most important, communication is also very important, this is a very common interview question oh ~

Fifth, the meeting, the meeting time you will take out WeChat to video chat, report work, this is my friends use most remote meeting, but, don’t have nothing to the meeting, this is my personal speech, led a small problems, will have to pull the whole team on the meeting, we opened the 13 times a day will be a few days ago… In fact do not have what good talk, he simply boring -_ – | | |. In fact, I personally suggest to minimize the use of wechat during working hours. It is best to use team management tools or some professional remote conference tools. Of course, these may need to be purchased by the company. Comparatively speaking, I would recommend Tencent’s TIM, which is an enterprise QQ with a bias towards office. It is very easy to use and has no advertising. As for Ali’s spikes, let’s just say three in a row.

Sixth, self-improvement. If you have more time, you might as well read two more books, or take a certificate, such as PMP/ACP/PBA project management, NPDP product management, etc. These are all very good improvements. I have taken MCP,SUN JSCP,PMP, etc., after all, something is better than nothing

Finally, play. At home, if you used to work 12 hours a day, now it’s probably cut in half. Entertainment, at home can also be fun, while you have time to buy PS4,XBOX,SWITCH games to play it, take out the controller to play a ball game ~

Desktop show

I used to have an open desktop that was easy to disturb, but now it’s a separate room, which is actually nice, and not easy to disturb when I’m working. Or something like this:

So my study desktop layout is like this, look at it:

First of all, there is a spectrum of human body chair, ok, sit very comfortable, after all, we do the Internet, sit every day, a little better to the waist, he good I good ~

On the right, bose’s horn, Iron Man, Little Penguin, and coasters from the Palace Museum:

The color of this Iron Man is quite good, especially the gold and red, the color detail is very good ~

Next comes the main office area, a dell 27-inch monitor, a macbook 13-inch 16gb of ram, and a retired iPhone6 clock at the bottom. Cherry tea axis keyboard, mouse is logic M705, mouse pad is Cherry’s Marvel cooperation thanos, mainly no smell.

As for the MacBook, which uses the Thunder 3 docking dock, one line takes care of all devices:

Of course, the docking station is the California digital, not bad, there are 5 USB buttons and 3 TypeC, support ju connection, in addition, I am connected through the network cable, no mouse drift phenomenon:

This is the back, the line can be blocked by the MacBook, not bad, ugly:

The line on the back of the display can also be hidden to avoid exposure:

The speaker is Bose, and it is placed in the corner under the table. It is bought on Double 11.

Here’s another little corner with some clutter:

And on the back is a mural for marvel’s 10th anniversary, not bad, mission details are pretty clear:

Later, when I have time, I will make a video to talk about how to arrange the table and wiring. It is quite miserable under the table. After all, the wiring is down, a cable board takes all the electrical appliances, and the external power supply of the expansion dock is also suspended.

The last

I believe that many people are 996 or even 9107 years ago, do not have time to spend with their families, so take advantage of this opportunity to work from home, to allocate more time to their families to accompany, spend more time with their partners, children, parents, and parents chatter.

After all.

Home.

Is the most warm, the most important.
