Appendix D — Remote Work
updated during/due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
E Few generic tips
- Focus on health – physical and mental
- Setting goals & planning a ‘tight’ schedule
- Figure out what’s accomplished and what not on a weekly basis & start the process over
- Find accountability partners
- Maintain good contact with me and the group
- Relax and meditate! [my audible/kindle account details are shared via Slack]
F #WorkFromHome tips
~ Most tips may also be applicable to your coursework.
F.1 1. Daily Scrum
At the beginning of each day you’re working, think or write down the following:
- What did you do yesterday? [“Yesterday, I …”]
- What will you do today? [“Today, I’m going to …”]
- Are there any impediments in your way?
F.2 2. Casual Co-work
Members are encouraged to setup co-work times to co-write, for code review, or just to work! (based off our most recent When2meet poll)
F.3 3. Finding time to chat with me
Finally, as a substitute for scheduling in-person meetings via Slack, I’ve made my full calendar available here, where you can easily fix a time to chat.
- No need to ping me ahead.
- No need to have a specific purpose/agenda, although this might help me prepare if it’s for a scientific/technical check-in. We can talk about anything – research, courses, work-life, home-life – or just say “Hi!” 🙂
- Pick a corresponding slot – 15min, 30min, or 1h.
