Working remotely, mental health, and life-hacks

TOPIC: Working remotely, mental health, and life-hacks
This talk is ideally intended for everyone participating, but will be more geared towards people who work remotely, or from a home-office.
This includes freelancers, contractors, parents who work from home to take care of kids, and a lot more people who don’t get to interact a lot with people. However, the hacks I will discuss will be useful for people who work in traditional office environments as well.
Mental health is a taboo in Indian society, and apparently nobody wants to talk about it, especially people who are going through things. In this talk, I will talk about my own struggles about living and working alone, identifying issues that you might have, and some ways to optimize your circumstances to make the most of life.
