- Everyone in the house should feel that they have been consulted.
- Your plan should establish people's schedules and preferred working locations.
- Figure out a way to share common areas. Establish what is fine and what is distracting.
- Try and have a break for lunch around the same time, so people can check in with each other and be a bit louder.
