Productivity for Working at Home

"I started this quest in order to bring back some order to the way I handle tasks"

Started working from home on March, when the pandemic sent most people home to confinement. 
After being a programmer for decades, some people decided to give me administrative work in that same place because I ended a master's in law. However, workplace conditions were chaotic in every department I worked - research center, library, etc, finally being attending students. 
When I was sent home, all the things that were physically available at the workplace were no long helping to deal with the chaos, and I saw it as a chance to take a long-term leave license, in order to try to start a career as a therapist. Unfortunately, all the skills I perfected organizing my tasks at work while being a programmer were forgotten after starting to work in administrative chaos. I started this quest in order to bring back some order to the way I handle tasks and adapt to new ways of planning, organizing, dealing with problems and solving them.
