How to Stay Productive and Inspired While You're Working From Home

The coronavirus pandemic has thrown normal life out of balance for quite a lot of us, leaving us to find new ways to stay productive and creative while stuck at home. If you are struggling a bit, this great video will give you some helpful tips for staying productive and finding inspiration during this time.

Coming to you from Samuel Elkins, this excellent video discusses how you can stay productive and inspired during this downtime. Certainly, that is something a lot of us are struggling with at the moment, and it can certainly be hard to find the motivation we need. That being said, I think it is also important to practice self-care at this time. With so much in upheaval at the moment, a lot of us are under a fair amount of stress. We might be tempted to push on in spite of all that, but it is also crucial that we check in with ourselves regularly. Take time to rest and relax as needed, check in with family and friends regularly, and carve out time to do things at home that make you happy. Check out the video above for lots of helpful advice from Elkins, and stay safe and healthy!

Thanks for the video. I agree with most of the tips given here.

Also, during these times when we have less job :-\ but then more time, it can be a good moment to do tasks unrelated to photography. For example cleaning the desk, arranging cables,... During my breaks, I do the laundry, the washing up.
And I take profit of time to broaden my horizons. I started to take courses online about different subjects such as chemistry, biology, architecture,... We never know enough !
