People aren't typically taught how to thrive in a distributed workplace. Sure, they formally study to learn a specific occupation: design, marketing, sales, development, finance, law, or education. But can they perform that occupation at a high level when they're not physically with other people? Remote workers have to learn on their own. If you work from home, a coworking space, or coffee shop, this book is for you. The author's anecdotes about his 21-year remote work journey will inform and entertain you. Discover how to set up a quality workspace. Learn the behaviors and practices that contribute to remote worker success. You, too, can thrive in a distributed workplace.

Quotes

    explained that an excess of any of these most common emotions (joy, anger, anxiety, overthinking, grief, fear and fright) could cause dis-ease in the body. That spelling is intentional: dis-ease representing a lack of feeling of ease or well-being, as well as potential illness. Rather than holding strong emotions in and allowing them to create tension and illness, my acupuncturist talked about methods for releasing them in traditional Chinese medicine:
    • physical expression (exercise, acupuncture, tai chi)
    • mental/emotional expression (writing, talking about feelings, therapy)

    Things will always change, regardless of your industry. I found out very early in my career that things never remain constant. Managers come and go. Policies change. Companies buy and integrate other companies. Technologies rise and fall in popularity. Change is inevitable! The important part is how you react to it. Some changes are unsavory, and you might rail against them and rally the troops. You must simply embrace other changes the best you can.

    t’s tough to be visible when you’re remote. You have to be a passionate advocate for yourself. It’s the only way to counter the “out of sight, out of mind” realities that remote work reinforces.
