It can be challenging to stay energized and motivated while working from home or remotely. There are no spontaneous conversations with coworkers who were just walking by, no easy ways to celebrate with the team after a big success, and rarely any opportunities to unexpectedly learn something new without making a conscious effort to do so. When you work from home or remotely it is all up to you to plan the right flow of activities to keep you happy and productive.
Knowing how long you are spending at the computer every day and realizing when you should take a quick break to refresh is incredibly valuable information towards developing a healthy work from home environment. WhenVirtual displays the number of hours you have spent at your computer so you can better understand and improve your work from home experience.
The WhenVirtual device was developed to explore questions like:
- How long have you been at the computer today without stepping away for a least six minutes?
- What was the longest continuous period of time you spent at your computer desk in the last twelve hours?
- How long have you been at the computer in the last twenty four hours?
- For work or otherwise, do you spend over sixty hours at your computer in a week?
If you have access to a 3D printer, you can build your own WhenVirtual for less than $30.
