Warn your coworkers
- If you work at home with your children, invariably, there're going to be interruptions. If you know you're about to get on a video call or even a phone conference call with your coworkers or colleague, or even a customer, warn them in advance that there may be an interruption. People are going to be a lot more forgiving if they know a potential interruption can happen, versus if they're surprised by it. You know, this is an unprecedented situation. People are working from home and homeschooling. Everyone will understand, but you just have to communicate, so that people don't get caught off guard or embarrassed in the middle of a presentation. Be thoughtful to your colleagues, and your colleagues will be empathetic to you, trust me.
