Working From Home With Roommates: Survival Guide

Remote work and roommate living can coexist — it just takes planning and mutual respect.

Designate a work zone: even a specific chair at the kitchen table counts if everyone knows it's 'office hours.'

Agree on quiet hours for calls and meetings — and give advance notice for important video calls.

Internet bandwidth is a real issue. Discuss upgrading your plan if multiple people are on video calls daily.
