Hand-picked articles, stories and ideas from the remote work community and beyond.
How to Achieve Sustainable Remote Work
Cal Newport | The New Yorker
Companies must move away from surveillance and visible busyness, and toward defined outcomes and trust.
Invasion of the remote workers! How 'digital nomads' are ruining tropical paradises
David Kushner | Business Insider
Millions of millennials, freed from their desk jobs, are working remotely in places like Mexico — and leaving a path of destruction in their wake.
The Problem We're Now Facing With WFH
Henry Grabar | Slate Magazine
“This really is a critical moment. What comes next in the next three to six months could be the start of defining what happens in the next 10 to 20 years, or the next generation. And I have to say we’re all over the place.”
Who’s Afraid of the Four Day Work Week?
Anne Helen Petersen | Culture Study
This is the principle at the heart of the four day week: working less can actually mean working better. That idea is particularly difficult for Americans, who fetishize long hours for many ideologically tangled reasons, to understand. It’s true in knowledge work, it’s true in medical fields, it’s true in construction. You’re just a better worker — a safer worker, a more creative worker, a more astute and alert worker — when you’re not exhausted.

Air passengers have become much more confrontational during the pandemic
The Economist
According to the latest figures from the FAA, in the year to July 6th it has launched 540 investigations into unruly behaviour by passengers, more than three times the number for the whole of 2019. That is despite there being only around 40% the number of travellers aboard America’s planes.
