Description
What happens to work/life balance when your home is your workplace? Join Avi Knoll, a remote software engineer at Atlassian, as they discuss ways to keep balanced and grounded while working from home.

In a healthy office environment, it's easy to take a break for lunch. Take a break for coffee. Go home at the end of the day when your colleagues are gone, the lights are off, and your friends and family would like to see you.

When you work from home, lunch is in the kitchen, or a delivery order away. You've got a coffee machine. Nobody turns out the lights on you. Your family or housemates are nearby anyway!

Avi is very strict about work/life separation, not just balance. They'll run you through the risks of not disconnecting, and then discuss techniques you can use to ensure that even in the same room, you’ll have a clear line between “I'm at work” and “I'm on a break” or ”I'll be back tomorrow!”
