CONTINUE YOUR ROUTINE –
Wake up at your usual time, get dressed, wash your face and get ready for the day. You’ll feel better and be ready for those impromptu video calls.
DESIGNATE A WORKSPACE FOR YOUR HOME OFFICE –
Create an “office area” within your home. Having a spot that you treat as your “workplace” will help ease you into the same work mindset you have when you’re at the office.
COMMUNICATE OFTEN AND SET GOALS –
Establish an accountability group with your co-workers or team. Check in with each other about what you’re working on, and hold each other accountable.
KEEP CLEARLY DEFINED WORKING HOURS –
Honor your office hours. If you typically work 8-5 when you have to go to the office, try to keep those hours the same while working from home. Don’t forget to take time to enjoy some lunch!
REMEMBER YOU’RE AT WORK –
Avoid the distraction of multi-tasking. Do what you can to minimize distractions. If you don’t have a television playing in your office at work, don’t have one playing at home.
DON’T GET CONSUMED BY THE NEWS –
While it’s good to stay informed, it’s also easy to scroll your way into an anxious mess. Try setting timers for any breaks you take. You don’t want to get too immersed and forget you’re at work altogether.
Fraudsters are now using the the pending stimulus payments to take advantage of unsuspecting victims. If you receive any phone calls, texts or emails saying they are with the federal government to assist with the stimulus payment, hang up or ignore them. If engaged they will go on to ask for additional information to process your stimulus payment, and in some cases will send you an email that contains a phishing link to steal your banking information.
Thank you from all of us at Ticor Title!
Fraudsters hope to exploit your fears with phishing e-mails designed to steal money, snag personal information and infect computers. With this in mind we are proud to say we have partnered with long time local area consumer protection advocate Herb Weisbaum of KOMO to bring you Technology and Title Tips. With this current phishing attack, the fraudsters are designing their e-mails to look like they’re coming from the CDC or the WHO. They typically have an attention-grabbing subject line, such as “Coronavirus outbreak in your city (Emergency)” and often include the agency’s logo — cut and pasted from the real website — to add credibility.
Thank you from all of us at Ticor Title!
