What are you looking to achieve in the next five years?

Interview with Shivani, a remote content writer who shares lessons learned

I’m more of a short-term goal type of person because if there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past few years, it’s that no matter how much you plan, life happens.

Our losses, challenges, growth, relationships… they all contribute to making us who we are, and we need to be adaptable to handle what comes our way.

I break my goals up quarterly — it allows me to focus on goals I can tangibly achieve in the near future and steadily grow while being flexible enough to move the goalposts (up or down) if there are things beyond my control.

What I do want over the next five years is to keep learning — by doing, by reading, by observing, by taking courses. Learning new skills and improving the skills I have is how I want to challenge myself. It’s not about achieving perfection in anything. It’s about growing and being the best version of myself that I can be.

Shivani provides all you need to know about making remote work...work. She shares tips on finding the best remote work opportunity and thriving once you get it.

Interview with Paul, a remote product designer who has found his zen

I would like to be a champion for remote work and create moments people connect with through my work—whether it be writing, designing or just lending a helping hand or sharing a piece of advice.

I felt at times before the pandemic that I was another rat in the rat race.

We’d all hop off the train each morning with our headphones feeding us the musical tones of our respective favourite artists, or the musings from our favourite podcasts.

No one would talk to anyone; we’d just scurry off to our offices and repeat the exercise that evening on the way home. If anything I feel the pandemic has brought real connection between people and I hope this continues. Balance and focusing on what’s important is key for the future of how we work.

The COVID-19 pandemic drove Paul to embrace remote work. See how he has adapted his routine to this new normal, and the one tool that keeps him organized.
