NoDesk: Issue #208
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).
This issue is brought to you by Gelt.
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) was created to bring previously unattainable financial control, transparency and returns to individuals. At Gelt, we’re excited about making DeFi accessible to all through the first non-custodial savings product that's as easy to use as a traditional savings account.
Gelt’s magically simple interface doesn't just help you earn 10 times — or more — higher interest on your savings than what retail banks offer today; Gelt automatically protects your deposits up to $100,000 while your funds provably remain in your sole control at all times, as it should be.
We are assembling a world-class team to build the next generation of decentralized financial products. If that sounds like your calling too, join us!

How I Avoided 5,292 Hours Of Commuting
Clive Thompson | Index
If you’ve been working remotely for the last two years, you’ve probably already drawn some conclusions from your own experiences. Maybe you’ve loved it; maybe you’ve hated it.
But as someone who’s got two-plus decades of this under his belt, let me share some of the long-term effects that remote work can have on a person — the good and the bad.
How to Mentor in a Remote Workplace
Ellen A. Ensher, W. Brad Johnson, David G. Smith | Harvard Business Review
Remote work is here to stay. And with this shift comes the need for managers and leaders to master virtual mentorship. Many individuals incorrectly presume that physical proximity is essential in developmental relationships. But like work itself, mentoring is defined less by the medium in which it is accomplished than by the outcomes delivered.

Surviving remotely: What impact did remote work have on employee psyche?
Jeremy Norman | Phys.org
“Our findings reinforce that greater perceptions of job control are generally beneficial for employee well-being and productivity,” explained Becker. “However, not all employees perceived high job control during the forced change to remote work, which could be due either to the fact that the change was forced by the COVID-19 pandemic or to the way organizations handled this shift, or both.”
Tech Is Helping Millions of People Work from the Woods
Thomas Smith | OneZero
It used to be that camping was about getting away from it all. Sitting by a campfire on a chilly night, you could disconnect from the modern world and bask in the majesty and solace of nature. Not anymore. The pandemic, Zoom, and remote work have completely changed camping. Almost a quarter of campers today are opting to bring their laptops into the wilderness so they can virtually commute to the office right from their campsite.
Two years later, remote work has changed millions of careers
Kathryn Vasel | CNN
Some companies are determined to return to the way things were and get everyone back into the office. And some have embraced remote work, allowing employees to work from home full time or part of the time.
But many workers are deciding to chart their own course. Some have found that they love working from home and never want to step foot in an office again. Others are itching to go back – missing the in-person collaboration and socializing with peers. And some want a little bit of both worlds.
