Take the Home Office Challenge!

Hello, Dynatrace Community!

We know we have Community members across the world. In each country the situation can be a bit different, but most of you are forced to stay at home right now and completely transform your daily routine. Turning your home into your office is tricky, as it can be challenging to separate work and personal life when they're both happening in the same place. We hope everyone managed to organize a dedicated and comfortable spot to continue the work.

The Task:
For those of you who are stuck at home here is the new challenge: Share a picture of your home office! We are very curious to see what challenges you are facing.

The Award:
Everyone that will post in this forum thread a picture with his new working conditions will receive 120 reputation points!

Below you can see my freshly adjusted workstation. Can’t wait to see yours! 🙂

Stay positive, fight the flus and the blues, and stay focused on the things that truly matter. Take care of yourself and others!

Unusual times are calling for unusual solutions. Because I don't have a real desk right now at my flat, I've decided to use the TV in my bedroom as my second screen 😄 So working right now on two laptops, two mouses and two keyboards - right from the couch. Maybe this is not perfect, but hey, this is not going to stop me 😉

Because I have temporary flat, I don’t have any space to work. This is why most of my job duties I’m doing on my iPad 🙂 It’s easier to put it aside when my 2 years old son need attention. Be careful everyone 🙂

I have as well some extra motivation from our cat 🙂

My workstation that I created weeks before the outbreak.

Working from home is having a negative impact on my steps as you can see. My Wife and I are going to start doing afternoon walks around the village. We might even put in place @Andreas G. method of getting steps while working from home!

To ensure that we stay connected with family, we have been doing large family facetime sessions with Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Parents, Brothers and Sisters!

I am truly thankful that I am able to work from home during times like this, but keeping others who do not have this opportunity in my thoughts and prayers. I hope everyone stays safe and healthy! Don't forget to wash your hands!

I continue supporting our sales force and studying the aiops journey to autonomous cloud with Dynatrace & Keptn.

I consider that the main challenges of the home office are to maintain productivity and dynamics with the other people on the team,, but fortunately, we have had tools to support remote work for some time.

Having an established schedule and routine is helping to keep pace.

This unique period is also being important for reflections on the transformations that are impacting the organizations and how we can help them with the use of I.A. and Automation.

Oh, and a lot of coffee is essential too!

I've been working remote for a few months now so there hasn't been much of a change for me. ^.^

No better place at my home than the kitchen. At least it's close to coffee and snacks 😉

Equipment that helps:

+ Good keyboard, mouse and big display + secondary (helps to play virtual theater for kids)
+ 2 headphone sets: 1 wireless so I can walk, 1 good quality for better noice reduction

I have to say that is quite effective working from home. Community helps to feel connected, but looking forward getting back to the office and in-person chats.

Best regards to all! Stay positive and healthy!

Cool. The mechanical keyboard will probably be my next addition!

Working next to my children's handicradfts - home office and childcare combined.

It took a week until I found the best layout for my desk.

Biggest challenge: my desk is in a living room corner, and our 4 year old wants to help me finish my work. Also, sometimes I really need to throw that ball, or I get the "stare".

It's an inspiring space for work, music, and watching 2 rabbits, a cat, and lots of squirrels playing in the yard.

Indeed... best music quality is a must have!

My setup is actually quite similar to the office: similar screen and exactly the same coffee beans. Either my home feels like office or the office feels like home. 😄

Additional support is occasionally provided by a curious 18 month old and a feline creature (not in the picture).

I recently moved into a new apartment with a second bedroom that I turned into a home office. Moved in few weeks before the outbreak and luckily I set it all up before we went into WFH. As you can see I love Marvel and other comic/movie stuff. 😄 What do you think?

Noice!! The infinity gauntlet in the background is everything!
