Hand-picked articles, stories and ideas from the remote work community and beyond.

The Workforce Is About to Change Dramatically

Derek Thompson | The Atlantic

When the pandemic is over, one in six workers is projected to continue working from home or co-working at least two days a week, according to a recent survey by economists at Harvard Business School. Another survey of hiring managers by the global freelancing platform Upwork found that one-fifth of the workforce could be entirely remote after the pandemic.

The hidden—but very real—cost of working from home

Geoff Colvin | Fortune

But a group of hyper-successful contrarians—Apple, Amazon, Goldman, Google, and others—have pointedly not offered the indefinite-WFH option. They want employees back physically together. Considerable evidence supports their stance. It also shows that when employers offer indefinite WFH, they’re messing with something more powerful than they may realize.

What I Learned from Doing 60+ Technical Interviews in 30 Days

Uduak Obong-Eren | G33k Chronicles

In this article, I’ll share my motivation for doing 60+ technical interviews in 30 days. More importantly, I’ll share 13 lessons I learned from my failures and my successes.

Estonia is launching a new Digital Nomad Visa for remote workers

e-Residency

We’re happy to announce that Estonia is launching a new Digital Nomad Visa that allows remote workers to live in Estonia and legally work for their employer or their own company registered abroad.

Disconnect

Derek Sivers

People often ask me what they can do to be more successful. I say disconnect. Even if just for a few hours. Unplug. Turn off your phone and Wi-Fi. Focus. Write. Practice. Create. That’s what’s rare and valuable these days.

You get no competitive edge from consuming the same stuff everyone else is consuming. It’s rare, now, to focus. And it gives such better rewards.

Rejected!

Seth Godin | Seth’s Blog

They didn’t reject you.

They rejected an application. They rejected a business plan. They rejected a piece of paper.

They don’t know you.

Those remote work-from-home places

Ben Casnocha @bencasnocha

Those more remote work-from-home places -- gorgeous Airbnbs nestled among beaches, deserts, and mountains far from city chaos -- often suffer from three flaws: 1) Slow internet 2) No ergonomic desk / monitor setup 3) Few food delivery options Thus hard to be productive...

Zoom Fatigue

David Perell @david_perell

My Zoom Fatigue has gotten so bad that I’m much less excited about remote work than I was two months ago

Communicate asynchronously

Tom Redman @redman

Hey all 👋 As a PM at Buffer, this is what my calendar looks like this week. Embracing the future of work as a remote company means being intentionally inclusive of folks in all timezones. Therefore we communicate asynchronously as much as possible, and this is the result.
