WFH boundaries when your roommate is also home all day
Set expectations for calls, kitchen use, music, and shared work surfaces. Exchange schedules for recurring meetings and identify a backup spot for calls that need privacy.
Avoid constant check-ins just because both people are home. A closed door, headphones, or a visible signal can mean “working, please message me.” Keep lunch and breaks optional rather than assumed social time.
You can be friendly coworkers at home without becoming responsible for each other’s productivity.
