I’ve worked from home for the last 11 years.

我过去11年一直在家工作。

Prior to that, I’ve also been working from home - but not for an employer - for school.

在那之前，我也一直在家工作-但不是为雇主工作-在学校工作。

When I made the jump to become a freelancer in 2008, it wasn’t a hard shift. I was used to study all alone.

当我在2008年跃升为自由职业者时，这并不是一个艰难的转变。 我习惯于独自学习。

Before going on, I suggest doing one thing. Take this and see what that site tells you.

在继续之前，我建议做一件事。 参加此 ，看看该网站告诉您什么。

I’m an introvert, I am independent and I like doing things alone.

我性格内向，独立，喜欢做事情。

This post is heavily influenced by this fact, and you might find that what I say is madness if you’re an extrovert who needs people around to be productive.

这个帖子在很大程度上受到这一事实的影响，如果您是一个性格外向的人，需要周围的人来提高生产力，您可能会发现我所说的是疯狂的。

The first suggestion I have for you is to have a dedicated office space. It does not need to be in another building, but it might be necessary if you have lots of people in your house. I do have a dedicated room, with a door I can close. It’s very helpful because it avoids.. interruptions.

我对您的第一个建议是拥有一个专用的办公空间 。 它不需要在另一栋建筑物中，但是如果您的房屋中有很多人，则可能有必要。 我有专门的房间，有门可以关上。 这非常有用，因为它避免了打扰。

There’s something impossible to stop in the world, and it’s interruptions. But as creative workers or developers we need to go in the zone and do deep work as much as we can.

世界上有无法阻止的东西，它是干扰 。 但是，作为创意工作者或开发人员，我们需要进入开发区并尽我们最大的努力。

Try to minimize interruptions as much as you can. Have fixed times where have “at work” time. Remind everyone you are working when you close your office door. It’s like you’re 50 miles away when the door is closed. Minimize interruptions from coworkers, too.

尽量减少干扰。 有固定的时间有“工作”时间。 当您关上办公室门时，提醒所有人。 就像您在关门时50英里外。 还要最大程度地减少来自同事的干扰。

But when interruptions come from within you, they are called distractions. Use apps like to stop all possible distractions. Turn your phone down.

但是，当您内心产生干扰时 ，它们就被称为干扰 。 使用诸如应用程序停止所有可能的干扰。 关掉手机。

Some people work better with schedules. Some like using the Pomodoro technique to set timers. I can’t do that, for some reason it does not work after the first 2-3 pomodori.

有些人在时间表方面工作得更好。 有些人喜欢使用Pomodoro技术设置计时器。 我不能这样做，由于某种原因，在最初的2-3 pomodori之后它不起作用。

I am lucky enough to work by myself, without a team I need to report to. I did work with teams in the past, however. My general recommendation is to find (if possible) a team that’s all remote. Avoid job situations where you are the only person remote (unless you are a freelancer). Over the long haul it’s stressful and demotivating.

我很幸运地独自工作，没有需要向其报告的团队。 但是，我过去曾与团队合作过。 我的一般建议是找到(如果可能的话)一个遥不可及的团队。 避免在您是唯一的远程工作人员的工作环境中(除非您是自由职业者)。 从长远来看，这是充满压力和动力的。

With remote teams it’s become normal to have a chat open all day, but I never liked the chit-chat happening and the stress coming from people mentioning you while you are away from work.

在远程团队中，全天开放聊天是很正常的事，但是我从来不喜欢这种闲聊，而当您下班时人们却不愿提及您。

Remove all notifications, close the chat when you are doing important work. Chats can happen.

进行重要工作时，请删除所有通知并关闭聊天。 可能会发生聊天。

Same for emails. Close your email client, and remove work emails from the phone.

电子邮件也一样。 关闭您的电子邮件客户端，然后从电话中删除工作电子邮件。

Some people like having a routine. I worked on teams where I was expected to have some kind of hours, but as a very independent-minded person I really disliked that. I like to work when I’m the most ready for it. But I know many people need fixed hours, or they get lost. You know yourself best, pick what suits you.

有些人喜欢例行公事 。 我曾在一些预计会花一些时间的团队工作，但作为一个非常独立的人，我真的不喜欢这样。 我喜欢在最准备就绪的时候工作。 但是我知道很多人需要固定时间，否则他们会迷路。 您最了解自己，选择适合自己的。

What about social interactions? Have a hobby. I am involved with some sports and I do a lot of hiking, with friends too. Also, having non-tech friends is a great refresher at times. But thanks to my personality type I can spend days without a lot of social interactions with people. Get a dog. It’s a great way for casual chit chat with people. Or new friendships, too. Some people like going to meetups or conferences. I don’t. Twitter and YouTube provide me the professional network I can learn from, without having to move to a city.

社会交往呢？ 有一个爱好。 我参与一些运动，我也和朋友们一起远足。 此外，有时会遇到非技术朋友，这是一次很棒的复习。 但是由于我的性格类型，我可以度过几天而无需与人进行很多社交互动。 养一只狗 这是与人随意聊天的好方法。 还是新的友谊。 有些人喜欢参加聚会或会议。 我不。 Twitter和YouTube为我提供了可以从中学习的专业网络，而无需搬到城市。

Find a sport. It’s really important. As mentioned it can also help with social interactions, and if you sit all day, it’s mandatory to get up at some point and do something.

寻找一项运动 。 真的很重要 如前所述，它也有助于社交互动，如果您整天坐着，必须在某个时候起床并做某事 。
