. From there, I picked up some strategies that make working from home more manageable. For instance, I started using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for my router and laptop, which buys me at least an extra hour to wrap up or save important files. I also structured my work so that high-energy tasks like video calls are scheduled for times when outages are less likely, based on local patterns. Having mobile internet as a backup has been invaluable too. It doesn’t solve everything, but these adjustments make it possible to stay productive despite the disruptions.
