Self-isolation and the pending quarantine has forced most offices and co-working spaces to close. This has meant that many freelance and employed people have had to start working from home for the first time.

Home office and managing your time effectively can be difficult for those who aren't used to it so we reached out to our working friends to see how they are handling things.

Freelancer and friend, Blake Farha, of Henri & Blake, speaks about life as a freelancer before and during Corona, avoiding overworking and burnout, the importance of planning and how structure looks different for everyone. Lana O'Sullivan, the UK & US Content Production Manager at Great Content, and Jill's housemate, explains what it was like to move from working full-time into working from home, how she separates work and home life and how working with her boyfriend has helped maintain productivity.
