Just as you designate and separate your physical workspace, you should be clear about when you’re working and when you’re not You’ll get your best work done and be most ready to transition back to the office if you stick with your regular hours Plus, if your role is collaborative, being on the same schedule as your coworkers makes everything much easier
“The biggest difference between working from home and working in the office is that you are in charge of your environment and have to treat yourself like an employee,” Yurovsky says This means holding yourself accountable, but also recognizing when enough is enough, just as a good manager might “If you feel yourself extending your work hours because you are not doing anything in the evening tell yourself it’s time to put work away, recharge, and start tomorrow with a fresh mind The work will be there in the morning.”
If you live with other people, this separation is even more critical Communicate with the people whom you live with to establish boundaries so you can cut down on distractions during the workday—and then disconnect and give the people you care about your full attention Having a separate time and space to work will allow you to be more present in your home life

Today, Snyder is seeing the fruits of the collaboration In a recent issue of the Journal of Comparative Psychology (Vol 117, No 3), the research group published the first study of giant panda cub-rearing and separation The study is the first step in examining the impact of a common breeding practice in China - separating captive cubs before they are six months old so that the mothers will be able to reproduce again sooner Cubs in the wild stay with their mothers for 1.5 to 2.5 years
Snyder and her co authors, including Maple and psychologist Mollie Bloomsmith, PhD, theorize that separating cubs from their mothers too early may harm their social development, and could underlie why so many captive pandas fail to breed Captive males often show little sexual interest in females or are too aggressive
The research team has also conducted urinary and behavioral analyses of female giant pandas during the breeding season, which is generally in the spring, and is examining the behavior of giant panda mothers Graduate student Megan Wilson, who also has worked in Chengdu, is investigating sequences of play-fighting for her dissertation And former graduate student and Chengdu researcher Loraine Tarou, PhD, examined giant panda cognition
Tarou, now an assistant professor at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, is the first to examine how captive pandas forage for food and learn to adapt to changes in their environment She compared her findings with the cognition of the spectacled bear and found that while both use spatial memory to find food, the spectacled bears used visual cues the pandas did not pick up on
The finding indicates that giant pandas' reliance on spatial memory alone may cause
them to have difficulty when their food sources are abruptly changed or moved - a big
problem for an animal that consumes nearly 30 pounds of bamboo a day
While such basic research may not have immediate application, says Tarou, it is contributing to scientists' growing knowledge of the species
