+## Introduction
+
+Explaining the shift to remote work and its impact on developers.
+
+## Optimizing Your Home Office Setup
+
+- **Ergonomics**:
+
+Ergonomics can help you feel more comfortable, both physically and mentally,
+which can lead to higher productivity. For example, an ergonomically designed workstation
+can help improve posture, which can reduce fatigue and exertion.
+This can allow you to focus on their work for longer periods of time and complete tasks more efficiently.
+
+Poor ergonomics can lead to frustration and fatigue.
+Ergonomic workstations can help you feel less tension in your body,
+which can lead to higher quality work.
+
+- **Technology**:
+
+### A good monitor
+
+Having a good amount of screen space makes working on projects more efficient and easier on the eyes
+
+### Desk/Standing Desk
+
+Lots of developers who work from home have standing desks (some with treadmills!) This helps keep the blood flowing and
+helps keep you active
+
+## Establishing a Routine
+
+- **Work Hours**:
+
+It can be easy to throw schedules out the window when you are in your home, there are lots of temptations for distractions.
+Keeping to a set schedule will enable you to stay on task and emulate being in an office setting. This will keep you productive.
+
+- **Breaks**:
+
+To avoid burnout, schedule breaks into your day. No need to work to the point of exhaustion.
+
+## Maintaining Work-Life Balance
+
+- **Physical Space**:
+
+Dedicate a designated work space in your home. A closet, a corner in the living room,
+or if you're fortunate enough to have the space, and entire home office.
+
+- **Mental Space**:
+
+Try to compartmentalize your work from your home life.
+It is important that your mind have a space to rest and regenerate.
+
+## Communication Best Practices
+
+- **Tools and Apps**:
+  There are many excellent tools and apps for keeping communication consistant and effective. Slack is a wonderful app
+  that Virtual Coffee utilizes wonderfully
+- **Regular Check-ins**: Staying in touch with your team at the office can help keep things flowing naturally between you and
+  your coworkers. A virtual space can be as real as a physical enviroment.
+
+## Health and Wellness Tips
+
+- **Physical Exercise**: Incorporate physical activity into your day. Get some stretches in, do chair yoga, anything to help with
+
+- **Mental Health**: Mindfulness and stress management techniques will keep you sharp and productive. Be kind to yourself.
+
+## Conclusion
