A single day in my life
A SINGLE DAY IN MY LIFE
Start of the day.
Start work.

Start work again.
End for the day.

People don’t ‘see’ you working.
Being the odd one out
Distractions
Less social contacts
Working remotely, together.
Remote first
1 remote? All remote!
Remote Events
Work at coworking spaces
Use the right tools!
A good home office setup
A video conference tool
A chat tool
An issue tracker
A wiki
Your Calendar
Travel
Meet in Person
Visit the office

What teams work best
remotely?
Fully remote teams
Teams with independent tasks.
Conclusion
It can be amazing
But it’s not without risks.
You need to find the right
team.
And use the right tools.
Connect with other remote
workers.
One more thing…
STEVE JOBS
Focus on your values. They are
your guide for everything you
do.
