Reading Time: 3 minutes

Working from home is not a new trend. It is, in fact, becoming common practice for any new employee these days. Mainly in the tech industry – but others are catching up f̶a̶s̶t̶ at snail’s speed.

Remote work is popular because it gives your more flexibility than a traditional office job. Naturally, there is also (almost) no commute.

This benefits everyone, especially working parents who want to keep pursuing their careers while staying close to their families.

It’s not, however, all unicorns and rainbows. Working from home comes with its own set of challenges. In this article, we will uncover a few tips on how to eliminate distractions while working from home.

Remote Job Hunt 2.0

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Remote Weekly turned 1 year a few weeks ago. 🎉

The goal was always to deliver high-quality remote job offers to online professionals. In mid-2020, I made some changes, which in retrospect shifted the project in the wrong direction.

Today, I am happy to announce – we are back on track!

We are now focused 100% on our subscribers and the value we provide.

The goal is to deliver relevant remote job offers. Anything “remote during covid” or “remote 3 days per week” will get mercilessly removed – so you don’t have to deal with BS like that.

And yes, we are rolling out location filtering soon.

Version 2.0 also introduces remote jobs API. If you are interested in building your own job board (or similar product), take a look.

Working From Home Sucks
(if Not Done Properly)

Reading Time: 5 minutes

It is often glorified and hyped. Especially now. But working from home isn’t all rainbows and unicorns. And if you don’t prepare properly, you will taste the bad side of this otherwise incredible perk.

Cool. What was your point again?

Let me explain.

Offices are built for proper work. Chances are, your home isn’t.

Why? Well, because… it’s your home. It was made for something else.

Every work gets tedious and boring sometimes. No matter what you do. Even if you love it tremendously. There will be dull, repetitive, and boring aspects of it. Why would you associate your cozy apartment with something like that?

And another thing. Space. Why sacrifice a whole room in your house for work? Why not make it into an entertainment center, a gym, a kid’s room, or even a guest room for your parents?

See? As it turns out, working from home isn’t always as glamorous as described. Let’s go through the most significant pain points and ways to fix them.
