Nice article. As someone who has never worked at a normal office, I'm glad that you're finding remote work better.
I'm in my mid 20s, I do contract work and has several personal projects that I have high hopes for. But there are moments when I'm bored/stuck when I think having a coworker nearby whom you could instantly talk to would be better.
- dereke 11y agoJust because you are remote doesn't mean you can't instantly talk to coworkers. Just call them by phone/skype/hangouts/screenhero. My remote working friends and I have a slack group where we hangout and chat about stuff, it is great you never feel alone.
- TheOtherHobbes 11y agoConversely, just because you're in an office doesn't mean you can instantly talk to the right coworker. I find on-site has high-bandwidth communications but limited productivity because of distractions. Remote is the opposite. However - it's usually easier to find ways to increase bandwidth than to remove distractions in a shared space.
- lenomad 11y agoThis works, but can't beat talking in-person, at least in my case. That said, I still don't consider going to a regular office. Should try a coworking space.
