It's called:
"How To Successfully Work From Home (Habits, Handling Distractions, And The Ultimate Office Setup)"

In this video I cover 3 things:
1. The Ultimate Office Setup
2. How To Avoid Distractions & Create Boundaries With Friends & Family

This is the first video in a series of "Principles" videos I'll be releasing over the coming weeks & months.

I like to set my phone for hourly breaks to stretch, get a drink, visit the loo etc, and refocus.
@@dorothyhennessy8295 good idea. Thanks for sharing! What's a "loo"? ;)
@@ChandlerBoltOfficial Hi Chandler...kn NZ a 'loo' is slang for a toilet. Haha!
@@dorothyhennessy8295haha! got it
Aside from personal/lifestyle things, I'm conscious about cybersecurity. Password manager, MFA, and not working with sensitive data when on a public wifi network
Love it!! Agree with so much of this! For your second bucket - I also like to keep my personal phone on silent during the day! :) Gamechanger !
This is perfect timing for me to hear this. I’m drastically downsizing from a house I’ve lived in for 42 years to a two-bedroom apartment, in which one bedroom can be a dedicated office. This is an opportune time to simplify and declutter. I’m thinking also of which of the two rooms gets the most natural light. I’ll be moving within the next few months, right at a time when I am trying to focus on finishing writing my first self-published book. Actually, the more I declutter, the more freed up my mind gets. It’s quite exhilarating to think “new” set-up and new tools. Thanks so much! This is awesome, and I’ve heard just half of it so far!
Love this! I love the concept of putting your goals/vision board in front of your workspace. It’s so important to be reminded of what you’re working toward.
Chandler hits the nail on the head in describing the challenges and difficulties in professionals making the transition to working from home full time.
Yes, these are so important! My wife and I have been working on the road and from home for the last 3 years and we are in a situation now where we are breaking almost all of the most important rules or principles you point out. Desk in the bedroom. Bad lighting. Crazy irregular hours. And, so much more. My wife has been super busy and she has been basically scheduling work calls and getting tasks done at all hours of the day for about a year now. It is really difficult. I am going to have to sit down with her and go over all the elements included herein (many of which I have already been asking for) and figure out a way for us to improve so our businesses and working from home situation can sustain itself. Thank you for the clear breakdown and suggestions, Chandler. Very helpful, indeed!
Thanks for sharing!
I started working from home five years ago, so there were so many things I can relate to. The advice on chairs was very helpful. Work healthy is the most important thing. So, I'll consider investing in chairs!
Great video! I homeschooled for 18 years. I found out very early on that I had to set boundaries with family, friends and acquaintances regarding "work/school" time otherwise people figured we could be available at a drop of a hat. I never answered my phone during school time. I continue this today as I have transitioned to a writer. I appreciate your explanations on a stand-up desk. I had been contemplating one and you explained many benefits that I had not thought of before. I always appreciate how your videos are full of great practical information with no fluff! Keep them coming!
Avoiding distractions and knowing when work starts and stops are the things I need to work on most.
Thanks so much for this! I use a fair few of the tips mentioned on here already, but now I have a couple more to add to my repertoire.
I liked Chandler's tips on avoiding distractions. I've been working from home for years now and the biggest challenge that I have is avoiding or controlling distractions from my family and friends.
Chandler, I worked from home for many years, in part to be available for my special needs son after school. You have some great ideas. When he was young, I often split my day, working while he was t school,then after his bedtime so I could catch up with West Coast clients. After my elderly dad moved into our home, I was also able to be there for emergencies but also have lunch with him o the deck. Wish I had done the standing desk all those years ago!!!
Awesome tips! Pretty much how I’ve been operating for sometime now.
Great to hear! Biggest takeaway?
Avoiding distractions is one of the most difficult challenges for me. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between an opportunity and a temptation. Great advice on setting boundaries, especially the part where you say, "If you're halfway working all the time, you're not really working. But you're also not really resting." And the stand-up desk is a great idea!
Love it. Especially enjoyed the ergonomics lesson. Now I need to keep my eyes open for a Hermann Miller chair and a stand up desk.
Great tips. Coaching friends and family to respect the work time is important and difficult.
having a conversation with the people you love!! setting those boundaries early on that is not "why are you bothering me?" blowup will be key for me! Thanks!
Can’t wait to see these videos!!
I love the advice to set boundaries and, more importantly, to communicate about those boundaries with the significant people in your life! Great stuff Chandler!
I think there is some really great advice here. I think the key thing you mentioned for me it that you need to treat it like a proper job by dressing right and having a separate room to work.
Love the 3 bucket analogy. I have a good ergo chair due to my physical issues. Boundaries are a big key. Have 2nd bedroom set up as an office. Lov idea about changing clothes & background.Great tip for backpack for office on the go.
I really enjoyed the don’t let your office be your bedroom. You stopped me from making the mistake
Thanks I will try this and see if this works for me.
I’m pumped to hear about Chandler’s goal setting and morning routine advice! I feel like this is an area I could really use some help with
Loved it all. I'm just starting out and found so much of the information helpful. Thanks
Wow! 1. I never thought of having my own workspace. I work off the dining room table. I also LOVE the idea of having scheduled do not disturb time as well as getting dressed for work. Thank you!
I found every piece of advice within the video extremely helpful, but I found that the bit of information in regards to avoiding distractions by setting boundaries such as a do not disturb sign the most helpful.
Love this topic, Chandler! Been on your list for some time now and enjoy the inspiration and content. This video was an awesome reminder on what's possible for everyone. And a perfect video to share to my audience 👌🏻 😊
Great thank you so much I really appreciate it
Great information some of which I have already put into practice today.
I always tried to find the way to work from home, never found the way and ended thinking that it was impossible. But you, Chandler, you make it so easy that I want to try again now. Thank you, pal. Keep on the good work
This video would have helped me many years ago. I quit my job in 1995 and installed my "office" in my bedroom. That first changed in 2001, when my husband and I bought two connected houses and decided to make one of them our office. We had no idea that it would make such a difference. Another thing I recommend, and which I do now, is to set a fixed time to stop working. I stop working every day at 5 pm. This was hard to begin with because I love my work. And remember to take at least one day off per week.
Good tips!
Love working from home. Thanks, Chandler!
I tried the stand-up desk a while back and it's amazing! I have a back injury and the ability to work standing up has changed my life. At the moment I don't have the ability to get a lot of natural day light in my home office, but in few months that's going to change and I'm sure it's going to make a huge difference for me :)
Boundaries - for me, for my family, for my friends, etc. - though not completely new, the aspects of making it 'intentional' to all stood out as top priority for me.
"Boundaries" is a great book as well
Working From Home video was helpful. A couple of new ideas I hadn't thought of. Biggest takeaway was having your office partable and packable when you go on the road. Thank you Chandler
Thank you so much! This is so helpful! Looking forward to more stuff to learn 👍🏽
Appreciate it! Subscribe to the channel. I release 2 videos/week :)
I love it. I just wrote an chapter in my draft SPS book on this very topic!!
You had a lot of helpful ideas on setting up a home office but I have a suggestion. I use a small 1tb drive that connects to my computer via usb to store my important data. My main computer setup is an all-in-one desktop computer with a wireless keyboard and mouse. For travel I use my laptop with a wireless mouse and my external drive. That way my travel setup is always ready to go and all I need to do is move my external drive to my laptop case. I also have a 3tb external drive to backup all of my personal files. All of the programs I use are installed on my main computer and my laptop.
Thanks for sharing this! The stand-up desk was a huge take away but also setting boundaries was another huge takeaway.
Solid tips and advice as always! Grateful for your guidance and sharing your expertise!!! Blessings!
Working office set is critical. Have used standup desk for 30 years. With couches in office for visitors and reading. And that power nap. Thanks for keeping us all excited about our futures.
Wow -- I love the ideas you had for the ultimate office setup, especially the vision board in front and a great background for video calls, etc. Now to just add some Feng Shui! Thanks, Chandler.
thanks for the advice
Thanks for the tips. I'm struggling in my new apartment in London because there's barely room for a kitchen table. So my husband and I are trying to figure out how to create a home office setup for me that converts at night to our kitchen table.
I like to move from my home office to the dining room, which overlooks the street. I love this video.
Thanks, Susan! Biggest takeaway from the video?
Making boundaries. With me being a single mom and having kids it's hard to get the kids to understand time I may need to myself. However, when I do decide to work from home I will definately consider the options that would best work in my favor
I love the idea of having a great set-up in a room with natural light. Also I love the idea of having set boundaries while working at home!
Good job Chandler. You inspire me. I am going to make the changes that I need to make this year
Chandler, great stuff. Boundaries are so important. Thank you for sharing.
Big help! Thanks for posting!
Great ! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thanks Chandler some great recommendations
Setting boundaries is SO important. For others and for yourself! It's so easy to get sucked back in or distracted when your home space and work space are the same.
I have been considering a dual monitor standing desk. I think you talked me into it.
Thanks, Very useful info!
thank you for your precious advices ... natural light and how get away from distractions best ever ...I cannot wait to quit my job and working from home
I think my biggest takeaway is that if I really want to do something, then I can do it. Your videos and your tutorials helped me write my first book - "The Count's Emerald", and it has a very great success. Thanks for all that you do, and keep on the good work!
Great tips Chandler. I have implemented most of them but I really need to work on the posture portion to minimize fatigue. My favorite is my go bag. I’m always grabbing it as I head out the door and it makes traveling easy. I keep all the necessary stuff in it so I don’t forget anything I need when on the go. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the reminder to have your goals and vision posted where you can see them all the time. Also love the idea of a traveling desk setup thanks.
Thanks for this video. Some great content and useful information I can use to reduce distractions.
Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you Chandler! I really needed this!
Great to hear! Biggest takeaway?
I liked the part about having a conversation about boundaries.
great to hear!
Thanks Chandler. Always get good info from your videos.
Appreciate it Bill!
Great video man and I really appreciate the opportunity and you sharing your knowledge.👍🖒👏
I want Chandler's setup! I need a stand-up desk and a way more comfortable chair! I also need to set actual office hours and 'go to work!' Thanks for the tips!
Handling distractions is definitely one of my biggest issues! Thank you for action steps I'll actually be able to utilize!
Chandler is so right on the importance of having a mobile setup. So often we have to work “on the go.” Having a good way to work wherever you have to be in crucial. Great advice!
Great tips and advice, thank you!
Stand up desk has been a game changer and this was a great reminder to use it more
Great message! I really appreciate this video Chandler! Posture is really important! 🙏🏻👍
Honestly, the ergonomic stuff is what really resonates. Too often we are willing to hunch over laptops, and I think halts our productivity without us realizing it.
While this video was intended for people who work from home I found all of the tips in this video applicable to my job away from home. I need to make my work space better for me physically such as the good chair and stand-up desk. I am constantly distracted and interrupted and do not have an office door so setting "do not disturb" times would be very beneficial. I can think of other ways as well to apply this video to life in general any time you have something you want to accomplish. Great video!
Glad to hear it!
Love it!!!
Good stuff! Totally agree on the stand-up desk. It is a must. I like the suggestion of searching out sales of companies going out of business of other essentials.
Just did a post on what I wanted to do for my health this coming year and I made the point to spend less time sitting and working on the computor but with your tips of a standing desk and the levels for you laptops plus wireless mouse and keyboard means I can still do the work I want but not spend all that time sitting rather hunched over my computer. Thanks so much for the tips!
Great to hear!
I love your ideas to help my initial office setup right at home
good tips, Chandler. Thanks.
Before watching this video, I'd begun to determine the same this that you talk about. It really makes a difference as to how the work space is set up. Thank you, it really helps me.
So important to set boundaries with work! Love the "set start time and set stop time."
This is a fantastic video and so are Chandler's books. He's extremely smart, personable, and has obviously read everything intelligent about working from home, internet marketing, and business. This is one up and coming entrepreneur we can all learn from!!
Thanks for the kind words!
Brilliant suggestions Chandler, as someone who's self employed I found helpful takeaways from all 3 sections. Thank you.
Great video! I have been working remotely for the last two years and have a similar video. Using these tips greatly improves you experience. Thanks!
Chandler, I really liked the tips on keeping good posture and creating a healthy work space. Thanks for the tips!
This is super informative video. Looking forward for more such videos
The office setup. My workspace is my living room on my laptop. I need to separate my space! I do have good Wifi. :-) Good tools are important. Thanks for always provifing good ideas. The standup desk is awesome..
Great tips, Chandler! I’ve been writing from home for 15 years now and my back & neck are really suffering as a result. I think it’s time for a new set up! I also like how you change clothes when you’re done “working.” I can’t ever shut off that “working” mindset.
Wow. I could seriously make a living working and writing from home!
thank you!!!
Very inspiring! Thank you for sharing such insight!
Thanks Chandler. Handling distractions is a real issue. Thanks for addressing
Chandler, that was bloody brilliant. Thank you. So many tips. It made me think of keeping my current desk set up but also creating new one in my lounge for daytime natural light. I will look into stand up desk. YOur set up looks amazing, and tad scary, as I have no idea of modern technology, but your videos are reassuring. One step at a time. My biggest take away was setting up boundaries and respecting my work time, and getting dressed for work! Im actually going to go out and buy myself specific clothes to wear to the office. Love it. You rock.
Interesting subject Chandler cause i am currently fighting with procrastination ( a hard one) and writer's block, thank you and wish you a great new year .Marina

I have an adjustable table and love it!
Great suggestions in all 3 areas. I'm self employed and can relate to the tips on boundaries which applies to boundaries with myself as well as with others. Also grateful for your tips on workspace and alternating between standing and sitting. Thanks Cahndler.
