Remote: Office Not Required - David Heinemeir & Jason Fried

Notes

  • Well define your workspace
  • Accept not to be productive some days
  • Split the work world and the personal world online
  • Concentrate meetings to not be disturbed
  • Turn off instant messaging (act like an email)
  • Need good communication between team workers
  • Advantages of remote work: less distraction, judged over work not presence, focus on personal rythm and own time management, more productive.
  • Disadvantages of remote work: higher risk of burnout, hard separation between personal and work, loneliness risks.
