Work-from-home
Work-from-homers should actively remind themselves to be compassionate and generous with those who cannot work from home.
Many of our neighbors have to perform non-remote jobs that allow society to function. Others have had their income abruptly stripped away altogether.
Establish boundaries
- 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.
- Once a schedule has been established, stick to it. Everyone can't change their plan because you decided to take a 90-minute break in the middle of the day.
Cam Show Colleagues
For the time being, put a sticker, some tape, or anything else over your computer's camera. Don't assume that because you can't see someone, they can't see you.
During your work meeting, you don't want your roommate to feature in passing in a less dignified manner.
Online meetings
You can use the time to rebrand yourself to your colleagues.
- Remove drug paraphernalia from your immediate vicinity.
- Remove all the garbage from the corner of your home that will appear in your meetings.
- Place a few houseplants in the background.
- Position yourself so that light hits you from the front, rather than from the back or side.
- If you use Zoom, apply a subtle retouch filter to your appearance.
- Don't bother staring at anyone's wild eyes. After you have evaluated your co-workers and backgrounds, watch only yourself.

Dating In The Times of Pandemic
As offline activities for dating couples have to be avoided, the dating brands of the internet have adapted themselves fast to accommodate virtual activities and in-build video chats.
Video Dating Or No Dating
Apps like OkCupid and Tinder see a decent surge in daily conversations in the last month.

Now, due to everyone in lockdown, it is the most used feature and has shot up the app engagement.
Video dating, which has witnessed a 200 percent increase in OkCupid, lets the dating couples check the ‘vibe’ of their partner, and decide if the person can be dated in future.
Digital Date Ideas
Some of the interesting digital date ideas that are proposed in the dating Apps:
- Build a playlist together
- Watch TikTok Videos, trying to understand Millennials and Gen Z
- Draw pictures of each other
- Tackle a crossword puzzle together
- Watch an old concert on youtube together
- Read the same book and discuss it on video chat.

Adapting the interview process
Face-to-face interviews are not really possible and recommended anymore, and everybody’s been replacing them with their video equivalent.
How a company adapts its interview process can be a preview to its culture: by accommodating different comfort levels, companies aren’t just saying they have a good culture; they’re showing it.
New onboarding process
The onboarding process for newly hired candidates is becoming virtual, too.
You need to offer plenty of resources and information, with scheduled conversations through video. You need to introduce a routine into their lives.
