Working Remotely? How’s That Going?

Working remotely

In the past almost three years, very occasionally, I would take a remote work day to get a big project done without interruptions. I always found the day away from the office to be a valuable tool in getting something done.

Today, as I finish up my third week working remotely, I will say that there has been some positives and negatives. There are still interruptions. We had the office calls routed here, so I can still help people. The phone calls are mostly about the two same things:

  1. Is the boat ramp open?
  2. Where can I get my taxes done?

Occasionally it is something else. Amazingly, there are not many calls. Seems like when we were in the office, the calls never see

Working remotely

Working remotely has been an interesting experience. Going on my third week, I have felt it has had both up and downs, and I started looking today for ways to “rock” it.

med to stop. Now, it seems I only get a ton of calls when I step out to check the mailbox or something. I come back in and there are four voice messages. How does that happen?

Since there is no real closing time, I am definitely working more hours. I used to stay a little late at the office some days, but I almost never was there are 9 pm, or 11, and there have been a few days since I started this that I just wanted to finish up a project.

If you are not accustomed to working from home, there are plenty of resources out there to help you adjust and become more efficient.

Here are a few for you to check out:

Here’s a huge list from Skillcrush of tools to help you be efficient while working remotely: https://skillcrush.com/blog/remote-work-tools/

Linked In has also compiled a list of resources for working remotely. Here: https://learning.linkedin.com/blog/productivity-tips/new-to-working-remotely–these-resources-can-help

The Next Web’s 7 Habits for Working Remotely (in other words, the short version): https://thenextweb.com/lifehacks/2015/09/03/7-habits-of-exceptionally-successful-remote-employees/

I hope this helps!
