What do you like about remote work?

Interview with Alyssa, a copywriter and content strategist

I like that I have control over my schedule and my income. Remote work allows me to set my schedule and take time off without needing to get it approved.

As a freelancer who works remotely, I also have more control over my income because I can take on more than one project at a time.

Alyssa has found her rhythm as a freelancer and founder of the blog, Freelancing Flow—see her tips for keeping it all running smoothly.

Interview with Laurent, an introverted remote worker & engineer

Freedom :)

I enjoy the freedom to travel. I also favor the ability to adjust my schedule as needed and be with my family while not having to organize my life around work.

I think this brings out the best in me, which puts me in a much more productive position. But it also put me in a much better position to help others at work, build a great team, and take care of others.

In this interview, this VP of engineering shares his strategies for managing family time and organizing meetings as an introvert.

Interview with Kati, a co-founder shares her tips for juggling multiple side hustles

​I love the autonomy, non-existent office drama, and being able to focus without any interruptions. I am also a bit nomadic. My husband and I travel quite a bit for his work to help his family out, and every once in a while, we fit an actual vacation in! The fact that I have the ability to work while traveling is a great perk!

I've worked from airports, the US Virgin Islands, Florida, construction sites, conferences, the beach, doctor's office waiting rooms, while getting a pedicure....

Kati has made a career at using the internet and gig economy to her advantage—see how she successfully manages multiple side hustles and a business.

Interview with Phil Strazzulla, an entrepreneur enjoying the health benefits of remote work

I really enjoy the flexibility obviously. But, the best thing for me is the health benefits.

It's very easy for me to work out every day now that I have cut out the time to commute as well as the time lost to office chit chat.

So, I do yoga 2-3 times per week, lift weights, play golf, and meditate. I also am able to cook most nights and have dinner ready at a reasonable hour which means healthier and cheaper food :)

A curiosity for remote work led Phil to make it a primary work arrangement. Hear how it has helped to improve his health and impacted his approach to rest.

Everything. I get to set my own hours, choose my clients, do only the work that inspires me, live wherever I want in the world, and have the autonomy I crave.

Interview with Grainne, a professional writer and content marketing manager who works remotely

I love the freedom and flexibility that comes with working remotely.

It allows me to design my day around how I work best.

I can't imagine being restricted to a Mon-Fri 9-5 office environment now, which is crazy because I did it for 10+ years! I can get so much more done in a few hours now than I would often have got done in a whole day in an office.

I think that how you manage your energy is just as important as how you manage your time and working remotely allows me to work in tandem with my natural productivity peaks.

Ease of travel is another massive perk too. I've traveled a fair bit and lived abroad for a few months at a time whilst working remotely, and it's definitely something I'll never take for granted.

Grainne's freelance work led to her landing a remote work job—see how she manages distractions and balances her work with Buckets.co and her clients.

Interview with Josephine, an integrated content producer traveling the world

The best part is that I have my own schedule.

I don't have to commute three hours to and from work, and I am location flexible. I'm about to move to Mexico City for the rest of 2019, escaping the brutal Canadian winter.

Also, it really tests my discipline and pushes me to accept a learning curve and take on another challenge. I'm definitely more motivated and productive, learning a LOT more (just because it is a different industry from the previous industry I used to work in, which was traditional media production).

Josephine got a dream gig of traveling while engaging in her passion for digital storytelling. Hear about the work she is doing to bring awareness to remote work.

Interview with Mike, a business developer with a one task a day remote work routine

Having a flexible schedule is probably the biggest perk of remote work, in my opinion.

This mindset that values what is being done over when it’s being done is very dear to me.

Being able to concentrate on what I’m doing and control when I can be distracted is just as important.

I also like the freedom to change my scenery. So, for example, when I’m working on blog posts, I often move to a nearby coffee shop. A cup of hot Americano there helps to get my creative juices flowing a bit faster.

Mike had a lackluster experience with remote work 12 years ago. Today, he has embraced location-independence. Hear about his "one task a day" routine & vital tip for job seekers.

Interview with Drei, a WordPress Developer describes her methods for staying focused

What I like most about remote work is I get to be with my dogs, my family, and friends whenever I want to.

Like I don't have to check my schedule anymore or find a way to make time for them, I can easily focus all my time on them whenever they need me or when I need them.

A demanding office job gave Drei the motivation to seek out remote work. See how two surprising entertainment apps & a six-hour workday allow her to live her best remote work life.
