During the shelter-in-place orders people who can do their work from home are doing their best to cope. Career and life coach Marty Nemko shares some tips on how to stay productive and focused. He also has suggestions for small business owners and those who have lost work during the pandemic. Nemko predicts working from home may become even more common in the future.

“It always made sense. I think it was the conservatism of organizations, frankly nonprofits, government as well as companies. That’s going to give way and especially with things like Skype and Zoom being so easy to use. Video conferencing is going to become more acceptable. I do think it’s a permanent, structural change. Ever more people will be working from home.” — Marty Nemko
