Hello HN! RemoteHabits is a small site I launched here on HN a few months ago to figure out the best ways to work remotely.
I noticed when I started remote work, I struggled with a lot of basic things like habits, disciplines, routines, finding community, etc...
I wanted to learn from other people that had already done it, without prescriptive advice like "the 10 things you MUST do with remote work"—so landed on remote interviews.
We aim to release a new interview every Monday, and are always looking for interesting remote workers to interview. If you're interested head over to https://remotehabits.com/interview-me/ https://remotehabits.com/interview-me/
- bitrrrate 8y agoAs an aspiring remote worker I will bookmark this for future reference. Great site.
- xfitm3 8y agoI value remote work precisely for the lack of structure. I am beholden to OKRs which are measured monthly, more or less.

- beat 8y agoI just got back into a regular office again after two and a half years of remote work. I really miss working from my sofa...
- sigfubar 8y agoWorking from a sofa is really bad for your posture and your small muscles, but that’s beside the point. Why did you go back into an office? Was the choice made for you?
- beat 8y agoPrevious contract ended, it was time to find a new job. The current job was great for everything, except having to commute (both good offers I had were in-office gigs). And the current job really is good, except for the frustration of commuting. I'm at the junction of what I want to do, what I'm good at doing, and what they need someone to do, which is more than I can say for the two remote gigs I had.
