A weekly newsletter with the best new remote jobs, stories and ideas from the remote work community, and occasional offbeat pieces to feed your curiosity.
By Daniel (@nodeskco).
Last week, NoDesk turned five.
I started NoDesk as a fun project to learn code, and explore how life and work are changing through digital nomadism and remote work.
During these five years, I’ve curated over 9000+ articles, remote jobs, resources and tools, and published 124 issues of this newsletter - all for free and accessible to all.
But the most rewarding part of this journey has been all the stories that you’ve shared on how NoDesk has helped you find remote work and improve your quality of life.
To all of my paid members, subscribers, contributors, supporters and friendly visitors, thank you for your continued support and for making all this possible.
Sending you all good vibes.

The New Way to Know When You’re Done With Work
Laura Vanderkam | Forge
If people aren’t commuting, the workday theoretically never has to end, though, of course, it should. But there’s an approach beyond counting hours to determine when you’ve put in an honest day’s labor — and I think it’s ultimately more effective than watching the clock in any scenario.
Universal Basic Income is Capitalism 2.0

A Universal Basic Income (UBI) would improve everyone’s lives, increase our free time, empower workers, and ensure everyone has food and a roof over their head. These are noble goals, but obviously there’s a downside or it would already be implemented, right?

Bryan Schatz, Patrick Hutchison | Outside Online
We knew we were fortunate to have good jobs—and this was well before our country was facing a pandemic and massive unemployment—but we were facing the existential crisis that comes from spending your days doing something you don’t enjoy and wondering if this is how the next five, ten, 20 years will play out.
