Working Remotely – When my friends ask me what I do for work, I tell them that I am an independent writer and designer who works remotely for a few companies around the world.<\/p>\n
They usually act impressed and then ask me if I get to work from home.<\/p>\n
This is the point in the conversation where I groan internally.<\/p>\n
I’ll answer “yes” and they’ll say something about how lucky I am to get to go to work in my pajamas.<\/p>\n
But you know what?<\/p>\n
Working remotely is hard!<\/p>\n
It’s challenging, fast-paced, and sometimes, it’s downright rewarding.<\/p>\n
If you yourself are considering working from a home location or on the road, I highly recommend it, with a few caveats.<\/p>\n
I’ll explain.<\/p>\n
