I love it. Love the freedom
10and make your schedule thingy.<h2 id=you-work-more-not-less>You work more not less</h2><p>I've heard from people things like: "Oh, you are so lucky, working from home,
11having all the free time you want". It was obvious they had no clue what means
12working remotely. They had this romantic idea of remote work. You can watch TV
13whenever you like, you can go outside for a picnic if you want and stuff like
14that.<p>This may be true if you work a day or two in a week from home. But if you go
15completely remote all these changes completely. I take some time to acclimate
16but then you start feeling the consequences of going fully remote. And it's not
17all rainbows and unicorns. Rather the opposite.<h2 id=feeling-lost>Feeling lost</h2><p>At first, I remembered I felt lost. I was not used to this kind of environment.
18It felt disoriented and a part of you that is used to procrastinate turns on.
19You start thinking of a workday as a whole day. And soon this idea of "I can do
20this later" starts creeping in. Well, I have the whole day ahead of me. I can do
21this a bit later.<h2 id=hyper-performance>Hyper-performance</h2><p>As a direct result, you become more focused on your work since you don't have
22all the interruptions common in the workplace. And you can quickly get used to
23this hyper-performance. But this mode requires also a lot of peace and quiet.<p>And here we come to the ugly parts of all this. <strong>People rarely have the
24self-control</strong> to not waste other people's time. It is paralyzing when people
25start calling you, sending you chat messages, etc. The thing is, that when I
26achieve this hyper-performance mode I am completely embroiled in the problem I
27am solving and this kind of interruptions mess with your head. I need an hour at
28least to get back in the zone. Sometimes not achieving the same focus the whole
29day.<p>I know that life is not how you want it to be and takes its route but from what
30I've learned this kind of interruptions can be avoided in 90% of the case easily
31just by closing any chat programs and putting your phone in a drawer.<h2 id=suggestion-to-all-the-new-remote-workers>Suggestion to all the new remote workers</h2><ul><li>Stop wasting other people's time. You don't bother people at their desks in
32the office either.<li>Do not replace daily chats in the hallways with instant messaging software.
33It will only interrupt people. Nothing good will come of it.<li>Set your working hours and try to not allow it to bleed outside these
34boundaries and maintain your routine.<li>Be prepared that hours will be longer regardless of your good intentions and
35your well thought of routine.<li>Try to be hyper-focused and do only one thing at the time. Multitasking is the
36enemy of progress.<li>Avoid long meetings and if possible eliminate them. Rather take time to write
37them out and allow others to respond in their own time. Meetings are usually a
38large waste of time and most of the people attending them are there just
39because the manager said so.<li>The software will not solve your problems. And throwing money at problems
40neither.<li>If you are in a managerial position don't supervise any single minute of
41workers. They are probably giving you more hours anyways. Track progress
42weekly not daily. You hired them and give them the benefit of the doubt that
43they will deliver what you agreed upon.</ul></div></article></main><section><hr><h2>Posts from blogs I follow around the net</h2><ul><li><a href=https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/linux/NFSv4ServerLockClients target=_blank rel=noopener>Finding which NFSv4 client owns a lock on a Linux NFS(v4) server</a> — <a href=https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/>Chris's Wiki :: blog</a><div>A while back I wrote an entry about finding which NFS client owns
