| 7 | and 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, | ||
| 8 | having all the free time you want". It was obvious they had no clue what means | ||
| 9 | working remotely. They had this romantic idea of remote work. You can watch TV | ||
| 10 | whenever you like, you can go outside for a picnic if you want and stuff like | ||
| 11 | that.<p>This may be true if you work a day or two in a week from home. But if you go | ||
| 12 | completely remote all these changes completely. I take some time to acclimate | ||
| 13 | but then you start feeling the consequences of going fully remote. And it's not | ||
| 14 | all 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. | ||
| 15 | It felt disoriented and a part of you that is used to procrastinate turns on. | ||
| 16 | You start thinking of a workday as a whole day. And soon this idea of "I can do | ||
| 17 | this later" starts creeping in. Well, I have the whole day ahead of me. I can do | ||
| 18 | this 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 | ||
| 19 | all the interruptions common in the workplace. And you can quickly get used to | ||
| 20 | this 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 | ||
| 21 | self-control</strong> to not waste other people's time. It is paralyzing when people | ||
| 22 | start calling you, sending you chat messages, etc. The thing is, that when I | ||
| 23 | achieve this hyper-performance mode I am completely embroiled in the problem I | ||
| 24 | am solving and this kind of interruptions mess with your head. I need an hour at | ||
| 25 | least to get back in the zone. Sometimes not achieving the same focus the whole | ||
| 26 | day.<p>I know that life is not how you want it to be and takes its route but from what | ||
| 27 | I've learned this kind of interruptions can be avoided in 90% of the case easily | ||
| 28 | just 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 | ||
| 29 | the office either.<li>Do not replace daily chats in the hallways with instant messaging software. | ||
| 30 | It 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 | ||
| 31 | boundaries and maintain your routine.<li>Be prepared that hours will be longer regardless of your good intentions and | ||
| 32 | your well thought of routine.<li>Try to be hyper-focused and do only one thing at the time. Multitasking is the | ||
| 33 | enemy of progress.<li>Avoid long meetings and if possible eliminate them. Rather take time to write | ||
| 34 | them out and allow others to respond in their own time. Meetings are usually a | ||
| 35 | large waste of time and most of the people attending them are there just | ||
| 36 | because the manager said so.<li>The software will not solve your problems. And throwing money at problems | ||
| 37 | neither.<li>If you are in a managerial position don't supervise any single minute of | ||
| 38 | workers. They are probably giving you more hours anyways. Track progress | ||
| 39 | weekly not daily. You hired them and give them the benefit of the doubt that | ||
| 40 | they will deliver what you agreed upon.</ul></div></div></main><footer><hr><div><h3>Want to comment or have something to add?</h3>You can write me an email at | ||
