Introduction
Remember to enjoy the freedom of being able to work from anywhere and the flexibility to adapt your work to your life rather than the other way around. Alex Muench
The future of remote working is developing at a faster rate than ever before. What was once a subculture that few experienced has turned into a common experience that a lot of people have seen become their reality after the COVID-19 pandemic changed the order of the world. If you are unable to keep working onsite or if you are simply someone who now needs to rely on remote work to make a living, this can come with some scary realizationshow are you going to make enough money to survive? You are not alone in this struggle, as millions of others have been forced to rethink their next move because their job is going remote or they need to secure a new job.
Knowing where to begin is the first step during any new endeavor. When you understand how to find remote work, you will be able to devote your best time and energy to succeeding. If you feel that you have no clue where to look first, this book can help you. Through a better understanding of the resources you have available, you will be able to find and secure the jobs that best suit you to provide yourself with the financial and emotional relief you crave. There are many resources that are geared toward remote work that have existed long before the pandemic swept over the nation. While the competition is tough, you still have the ability to put yourself out there and apply for these jobs.
Now that you are working from home, you have likely encountered the problem of keeping your professional and personal time separate. When you are in an office, this behavior is automatically encouraged and expected. Everything changes when you are in your own familiar domain. It doesnt help that your television, smartphone, and maybe family is around to distract you. Establishing boundaries can be difficult, but it isnt impossible. You will learn how to effectively manage your time by splitting it between work and play.
Being away from your peers can feel lonely and isolating, especially when they played a big role in your daily routine. A conversation you had while passing one another in the hallways might have left a larger impact on your day than you once thought. Through technology, connectivity is possible. You will learn how to use technology to your advantage, making the most of the apps and programs that keep you connected to others. Even having a simple online chat with a peer can be enough to get you back into work-mode, staying focused on the tasks that must be done. With simple reminders, you will be able to develop a way of interacting socially with your coworkers and supervisors on a digital level.
Concentration can become a big issue when you are working remotely because you do not have a supervisor present. Instead, you need to rely on yourself to keep your priorities in line. This takes a lot of motivation and organization. If you do not even have a list of tasks that you are working on, you are more likely to get caught up in the distractions around you. Once you get organized, you will learn methods that will help you to stay on track and to ensure that you always complete each task by its deadlines.
Staying productive is the key to getting anything done. When you are in an office environment, the atmosphere is set up for productivity. Now that you are at home, you might feel stuck or unsure of what to do to get yourself motivated. Through the techniques that you will learn in this book, you will understand just how important self-discipline is when you are working remotely. You must rely on your own will-power to stay focused on pending tasks.
My name is T.I. Ransome, and I am a freelance writer who works from home. Im married with two kids, and yes, all of my family members have been present lately in my new office that doubles as our living space. I understand where you are coming from because I go through some of the same struggles. The pandemic did not force me into this situation, but I did choose to work remotely to spend more time with my family. Through my experience in the last five years, I have learned that being in charge of your own schedule gives you a lot of freedom.
I have become an authority on the topic, helping others to achieve success by teaching them the same methods that worked for me when I first started. These matters are important to me because I know how uncertain working remotely can feel. There are times when you might not know where to begin, causing you to panic before you have any tasks due. I can help you get through the uncertainty, giving you the confidence you need to rely on your skills. I have gone through many of the ups and downs of remote working, so I know what you are experiencing. In an effort to encourage more people to explore the idea of working remotely, I wrote this book to be used as a guideline that will teach you just how permanent and viable working remotely can become.
Through my own remote working journey, I have learned how to fine-tune several aspects of my life so that they blend together effectively. Now with the understanding of how to secure work and how to complete it while still getting adequate time with my family, I have a greater understanding of the skills this takes. By reading this book, you will explore some of the following topics:
How to find jobs that you are qualified for
How to maximize your productivity
How to connect with your colleges on a digital level
How to manage your personal health
How to remain motivated and competitive
How the future of remote work will evolve
Whether you are in this situation voluntarily or have been made to take on this new role, you can achieve success. Once you have confidence in your abilities, you will feel like you are thriving professionally. In turn, this will give all of the other areas of your life a big motivational boost. Working remotely does not have to be a struggle, and you can gain inspiration from those who already do itwhat it takes is focus.
