I think this is absolutely the the right thing to help flatten the curve and I'm fortunate to be able to work in a field that allows me to do this.</p> <p>I have some experience working from home once in awhile but never consecutive days or even a whole week.</p> <p>My question is what tips or advice do you have to maintain productivity when working from home? I would love to hear feedback from any developers that are used to working remotely!</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> <p>-Steve</p> discuss productivity beginners help
