ATD has curated several virtual training resources to adjust to having to work and train remotely. td.org/virtual-training 

Those of you who are new to the idea of remote work, how are you adjusting?  Those who have been working virtually, feel free to share some suggestions and tips about what success looks like for you (for example, remote workspace and setup, work-life balance, and so forth).

I have been working from home since the first restrictions were introduced, and I hear a lot of my colleagues complaining about their unproductivity. However, I am an introvert and I have not tried a better way to work. I feel comfortable and productiveю

I have worked from home for many years so doing so during COVID-19 was nothing new for me (fortunately). I have seen all of my co-workers transition from office to at-home work during these times. Most embraced it openly but, of course, had to balance family, homeschooling, technology issues, etc. at the beginning. Now that they have sort of figured that out, many of them are starting to transition back to the office environment. I'm wondering if/how others are tackling that aspect?

Hi! I would occasionally work from home in the past but this is the first time I'm doing it full time. It took the kids a day to understand that when I'm at my computer I'm truly at work. I'm finding that the days seem to go by faster then when I'm in the office. I find this strange! I also notice that I sit WAY more working at home than I do in the office. I often find myself just standing up and continuing to type or take a call. All of my video calls I stand up for! Great tips all, thx!
