How to survive and thrive while working from home
I’m one of the roughly 5% of Americans who work full time from home. I’ve been doing it for 30 years now. If I could manage it with a 28.8K modem internet connection back in the day, you can do it today in the age of broadband.
Here’s how.
Broadband: You need the internet to work successfully from home. The faster your connection, the better. If you live alone — or at least if you’re home alone during your normal working hours — and if your work is mostly text-based, a connection of just 5Mbps should be enough. But if it’s the coronavirus that’s keeping you at home and you have a partner who’s also working online and kids with little else to do than stream Netflix or Disney+, you’ll need more, at least a 25Mbps connection.
