Sometimes mail arrives at the post office, and it is impossible to deliver the mail. Perhaps there
is an inadequate or illegible address and no return address. The post office cannot just throw this
mail away, so this becomes "dead mail." This "dead mail" is sent to one of the U.S. Postal Service's
dead mail offices in Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia, St. Paul, or San Francisco. Seventy-five million
pieces of mail can end up in the dead mail office in one year.
The staff of the dead mail offices have a variety of ways to deal with all of these pieces of dead
mail. First of all, they look for clues that can help them deliver the mail; they open packages in the
hope that something inside will show where the package came from or is going to. Dead mail will also
be listed on a computer so that people can call in and check to see if a missing item is there.
However, all of this mail cannot simply be stored forever; there is just too much of it. When a lot
of dead mail has piled up, the dead mail offices hold public auctions. Every three months, the public
is invited in and bins containing items found in dead mail packages are sold to the highest bidder

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.
