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.
