My wife and I have been working from home for nearly 7 years now and have a few learnings to share. For the first time nearly every white collar worker in the world seems to be working from home and spending daytime with their children and family members. Courtesy: COVID19.

Work from Home is only productive when there is no one else in the house and no one knows you are home including coworkers, neighbours and delivery-men. Work very early in the morning or late at night to be most productive This is the only time when no one wil ..read more

In the case of my school-mate, he had health insurance but the insurer shockingly denied his ..read more
