WHILE WORKING REMOTE
Your problems didn't.
Working from home sounds simple. Open the laptop. Get to work. Enjoy the flexibility. Then come the distractions, video meetings, disappearing boundaries, internet outages, pets, family interruptions—and the refrigerator that's suddenly far more interesting than it was yesterday.
Working from home and working effectively from home are two very different things.

workday?↙Yes, it is possible.
WORKING REMOTE SOUNDED LIKE A GREAT IDEA...
THE FREEDOM
No commute. No traffic. No cubicle. More control over when and where you work.
THE DISTRACTIONS
Television. Laundry. Your phone. The dog. The cat. And that drawer you suddenly need to organize.
THE BOUNDARIES
When your office is only ten steps from your bedroom, separating work from home takes effort.
THE CONNECTION
Remote doesn't mean alone. Communication and professional relationships become more intentional.

SURVIVING WHILE WORKING REMOTE
I WAS WORKING REMOTELY BEFORE “REMOTE WORK” WAS A THING.
I first started working remotely right out of college in 1984. Since then, the technology has changed dramatically, but many of the challenges haven’t.
That experience eventually became Survive & Thrive While Working Remote and the Surviving While Working Remote presentation—practical, human and occasionally ridiculous lessons about productivity, communication, boundaries and making remote work actually work.
