How do you deal with the isolation/loneliness of working remotely? After doing it for over 10 years I'm finding this the killer: sitting at home, me and my cat, talking to nobody.
Sqwiggle helps (seeing the rest of the team's faces) but it's a hard sell to convince others to use it.
- Det_Jacobian 12y agoShell out some monthly cash for a coworking space in your area (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coworking http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coworking). Assuming of course you live in a somewhat business-hopping city. If you do, the monthly cost is a no-brainer for the productivity gain of having other people around, having a physical workspace, and a reason to leave the house.
- porker 12y ago> Assuming of course you live in a somewhat business-hopping city That is an issue. In the UK outside the largest cities coworking spaces are few and far between. I will continue searching...
- illumen 12y agoStart one? :) It can just be an office/studio that you share with others too. Another option is to find existing companies. For example, maybe a design studio could let you use an office, or a desk.
- mattt416 12y agoHave a look and see if there are any Regus office buildings in your town/city. They have an inexpensive membership card that lets you make use of their business lounges. The Regus building I tried wasn't amazing but I would imagine they're all different so may be worth looking at? --Matt @ WFH.io (https://www.wfh.io https://www.wfh.io)
