]]> There’s nothing like sitting at home and working remotely as opposed to commuting all the way to your office. Well…sort of. The previous statement may be true for some people, but it’s far from the case for many others. Not everyone has the same circumstances at home, which makes remote work pretty hard for them to do. However, there are certain mindsets you can embrace to beat this hurdle, and here’s what they are.

Set Hours

Just like you have set hours at work, so too should you have them at home. The freedom of remote work should really be the convenience of not having to commute. Other than that, you shouldn’t be taking advantage of your freedom to set your own hours because it’s a slippery slope. Stick to a schedule, and you’ll be super productive.

Leave Your Home

If your home situation presents a less-than-practical working environment, then simply leave your home. If you have obligations to be at home, then you need to have a serious talk with whoever is requiring you to be home. Work is work, remote or not, and if you’re struggling to get stuff done at home, you should be allowed to go to a Starbucks to do what you need to do.

]]> The digital nomad lifestyle has become increasingly popular in recent years, allowing individuals to work remotely while traveling the world. Thanks to advancements in technology, it’s now possible to work from anywhere with a reliable internet connection.

By embracing the digital nomad lifestyle, individuals can work and travel the world at the same time, enjoying new experiences and cultures along the way. With the right job, reliable internet connection, and a minimalist mindset, it’s possible to live the dream of working from anywhere in the world. Here are some tips for embracing the digital nomad lifestyle.

Choose the right job

Not all jobs are suited for remote work, so it’s important to choose a job that allows for flexibility and can be done online. Freelance writing, graphic design, and web development are just a few examples of jobs that are well-suited for digital nomads.

Check for work visas

When traveling, it’s important to make sure you’re able to work in certain locations if you will be there for a while. There are many countries currently offering visas for digital nomads so this can also help you decide where you next trip will be!

Embrace minimalism

When traveling as a digital nomad, it’s important to pack light and only bring the essentials. This not only makes traveling easier, but it also allows for more flexibility and freedom. You don’t want to deal with the stress of moving all your things each time you go to a new place.

Join Online Communities

While the digital nomad lifestyle offers plenty of flexibility, it can feel isolating when you don’t have someone to relate to. Joining online communities of other digital nomads so you can hear their tips and tricks and not feel alone.

@jetsetterjulia It’s not as hard as people will have you believe. In fact, it sometimes smells like a scam just because of how simple it is. If you want this life, it’s yours for the taking.

On the other hand, there are other jobs that you can do completely remotely, and here’s what they are.

Software Engineer

Software Engineering is a pretty popular job nowadays, and not just because of the state technology is in today. It’s also because of the fact that you can code wherever you are in the world, even if you company is 10,000 miles away.

Content Writer

The same idea goes for content writing. Since articles can be sent digitally, there’s no reason you can’t write articles in America while working for a company that happens to reside in Europe.

Virtual Teacher

Traditionally, teachers have to actually be in class in order to teach. But these days there are many available remote teaching jobs, where the requirement is to teach kids who live in foreign countries. These jobs have become quite common nowadays, especially when it comes to teaching foreign children how to speak English.

]]> Ever since early-2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic started blooming into full effect, remote work has become prevalent around the world. The trend continued to skyrocket along with the virus, but when Covid started to die down (albeit slowly), remote work stuck around. This is because companies realized how effective it was. After all, if an employee can get their work done at home, is there a really good reason for them to be at the office?

As it Turns Out, Yes

While remote work has certainly become common, practical, and effective, it’s also raised a handful of other talking points. It’s allowed people to realize that they actually enjoy being at the office (imagine that!). It’s enabled some individuals to learn more about themselves—to learn that they might actually find peace in a rigid structure that requires them to commute to the office every morning as opposed to staying in pajamas all day. Not to mention the fact that companies have learned that seeing co-workers in person is a lot more wholesome and effective than communicating over Zoom.

Splitting the Difference

Not everyone feels exactly the same on this matter. Some have no problem getting things done at home, while others crave getting out of the house and going to the office. Nevertheless, it’s definitely not a clear consensus across the board, which means that remote work is definitely not going to be the “norm” moving forward.

Many companies have adopted the hybrid work structure, which gives people the convenience of occasional remote work, coupled with the benefits that commuting to the office offers as well.

Workforces all around the world were enabled to accomplish their various tasks at home, and in the midst of all this, companies realized… that it worked. With the pandemic calming down a little bit (hopefully for the long term), companies are now continuing to incorporate remote work as a mainstay policy. But is remote work a sustainable way of life?

Human Interaction

There’s something amazing about the fact that employees can essentially get all of their work done at home. This is something that companies wouldn’t have dreamed of decades ago, and now it’s super popular.

But throughout it all, people have also come to realize that they need physical human interaction. Something gets lost in the translation when you just see a bunch of people on a Zoom screen. Companies have found that some of the best collaboration takes place when employees are in the same place.

Hybrid Model

For this reason, most companies have adopted a hybrid work model, where employees are allowed a few days a week to work from home. This way, people can enjoy the various conveniences of working from home, while also engaging in physical meetings with colleagues throughout the week, something that has proved to be important.

]]> Something that seems to be on every company’s mind in this day and age is the concept of working from home. Over the last few years, this practice has been more implemented in modern society than it ever has. This is mainly because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but even after it calmed down, workplaces realized that employees could be trusted to get their work done remotely. But is it always good to work from home, or should there be more of a balance?

The Hybrid Work Model

As of now, most companies have embraced the hybrid work model. This means that employees get to enjoy the benefits of working from home certain days out of the week, but the rest of the time must come into the office. The question is, should this be the norm, or should companies be completely remote?

A Sense of Community

In our humble opinion, companies should have employees come in at least a day or two each week. While remote work is certainly popular and helpful, there’s something important that you get at the office. You get a sense of community, camaraderie, and teamwork that you don’t get over zoom. It’s the warmth that you miss working remotely, as cheesy as that sounds. And many bosses are realizing that this lack of warmth can affect work performance.
