Topic: How to be more effective working remotely. (Read 4096 times)

I'm totally on the same page here.  This whole pandemic thing has really shaken up how we do our jobs.  A bunch of companies are letting people work hybrid now, which I think rocks for a lot of folks.  You get the perks of doing your thing at home in your PJs if you want, while still being able to hang out and chat in-person sometimes too.  For me that's the best of both worlds.  I love rolling out of bed at 8:58 for a 9 AM meeting once in awhile and  so having both options is clutch.

Yeah this is true. I had teacher friends as well that was fully loaded when it comes to modules during the pandemic. They told me that they need to work double time just to reach quota and finish all tasks before deadline. They even told me their tears fell without even noticing. Working remotely depends on what kind of job we are in just like BPO companies that offers work from home during pandemic. The best of 'em all was being a Bitcoiner on this forum just like we were enrolled to a signature campaign where we can manage to work anytime anywhere without boss and as long as there is an internet connection we're good to go.

For me, having some kind of routine has been the key to staying productive.  I try to wake up around the same time every day, throw on something decent instead of pajamas, and work at the desk instead of the couch.  Setting aside blocks of time to focus on work tasks without getting distracted by Facebook or Netflix has taken some discipline.  I'm still working on finding the right balance between stretches of focused work and taking regular breaks to rest my eyes and stretch my legs.

It's definitely an adjustment but having structure helps me remember I'm still at the office, even if my office is now in my guest bedroom.

I don't know about that, I just make sure that if we have a remote job we should be able to be responsible properly. maybe if people like this are hard to find, and if like that we should be one of them. where I also have a remote job that must be done properly, because it is my own responsibility.

respecting each other is what should be done, because everyone has sympathy for each other and this makes us have to respect each other, it's natural like that, but there are people who we already respect but they don't know themselves, and people like this tend not to have many friends. And also if you don't have many friends it will be difficult for work, for example work that must be done remotely, where person A doesn't want to communicate with his friend B but work leads them to have to communicate for the smooth running of their work, and this might cause problems in the future. so in my opinion mutual respect is a must.

Yes you are right, complaining is a trait that will always be inherent in every individual and there is nothing wrong with complaining once in a while, as long as we don't give up, not just in work matters, but in all aspects of life. I would even question when someone says they never complain at all.
Basically what I'm saying is based on experience, for me there's no way I can say that and try to give them that advice if I've never experienced it myself. In other words, what they're experiencing is something that I've also experienced, so I know exactly what they're feeling because I've experienced it too.
This is where it's sometimes important for us to share our stories with friends or others, because I think that's already half of the solution we need.

The person you describe is very important and even very reliable. But I think people like that will be rare and rare to find, right? But actually there are factors that influence people to become like that. Among other things, mutual respect/respect for each other, even between subordinates and superiors, I think this will create things like what you said.

your friends are stuck in a rut, and you know it. We all do, don't we? The cycle of complain-and-stay is as common as it is frustrating. Trouble is, comfort leads to inertia. It's natural to want to take the easiest route, but at what cost? Your suggestion to look for a job while they're still working is more than just good sense; it's a way for them to regain their independence. But isn't there something more important going on? The job market today is a beast that is always changing and requires flexibility. When your friends are constantly unhappy with their jobs, aren't they losing out on chances to grow professionally and personally? They need to understand this: the pain at work is only temporary, but the staying in the same place for a long time. It's very important that you play the straight-talking realist. You're not just giving them advice; you're also pushing them to take charge of their jobs. Shouldn't they listen now?

And now that we are back in the normal, employees are required to go back to their desk job now. But as least though, for the majority we have experienced working from home. Although for me, I have experienced it way before the pandemic and I will agree that it has some advantages and disadvantages.

So it depends on the individual itself, I mean you still need to wake up if you have a early job and stay for 8 hours. I won't advice to just TV or anything though, just focus on the job and complete it like what you normally does in the office.

It just so happens that I often share stories about work with my friends, and most of their stories are more or less the same situation. Yes, they familiarize themselves to make themselves comfortable, and from that familiarization, habits emerge that make them really comfortable.
Even from some of my friends they always complain and when they meet they always say to quit, and the fact is that until now they are still working in the same place.
When I talk to my friends who want to quit their jobs I always say, think well and if you really want to quit then we should look for another job first while still working. Because one thing I always remember, that our heaviness or discomfort at work is better than discomfort and pressure when looking for a job.

Working from your living room definitely has some nice parts, like not fighting traffic or wearing real pants.  But with the good comes the bad - not having a boss can make it way too easy to binge Netflix instead of doing actual work.  The work/life divide gets real muddy when your office is down the hall from your bed and  it's tough to flip the I'm clocked in switch when you never technically clock out. 

Staying focused gets hard without other people around doing their thing too.  At a real office, seeing everyone else grinding motivates you to look busy too.  But when it's just you and your dog at home, its a battle to not just play fetch all day.  Procrastination can sneak up quick.

So in short - work from home flexibility rocks but it takes some serious self-discipline.  If I didn't have bills to pay, I'd probably just watch TV and never meet deadlines.  Good thing I like to eat food and have electricity.

A person who works for a fixed salary will always be more effective in an office workplace, since at home there will always be things to do that will distract you. But if you get paid for the work done, then you will be equally motivated both in the office and at home.

If there is a good team in the office, then perhaps this will encourage you to go to work, but for me this is not the most important factor, I can work both at home and in the office and I don’t see much difference for myself, perhaps I like working at home even more, of course, if no one distracts me.

How to be more effective working remotely? That is simple, log out from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Bitcointalk

I've been doing a home-based online job for a few years, then I added crypto trading, which I do three times a week, depending on the market situation. I'm in charge of the time, and I don't have a boss to follow.

This is what online income is all about; it's a good feeling that we get income via the internet, and then I'm still with myself if it's family or children, and we can go out to bond when we eat at a restaurant or fast food or go for a walk in a beautiful place with beautiful scenery.

of course so, it should be so, no matter what kind of job you have and no matter how simple the work that is carried out must be carried out properly, even if the work is simple but done remotely it still has to be done as well as possible because it is our obligation to carry out the work itself.

The key is good communication, do not let miscommunication occur in the work, small or large work that is carried out if done with a long distance must be able to do the best possible to be able to keep the work running properly.

yep that's right, a long investment can generate profits if we can run it well, it doesn't waver when one day because it has a price drop. and this long-term investment is done by certain people, not everyone can do it well, where there will be a journey that is not smooth, there must be some things that will be opposed to the long-term investment that is done. and these two things, namely business and investment must be done well, as you said must be planned and prepared, that's right, these two things must be planned as well as possible, must know how and do what so that this can run well, and must be prepared carefully financially, where it is to do a visible business. if for investment it might be different again.

maybe that's how I myself have adapted to a job that I don't like, and I can like a job that I didn't like at first. the work interests that people have are different, I think finding a job is difficult. So if you already got a job, it would be nice to keep it until we have a job that we like or is more suitable for us.

These are some great tips and while it can seem like common sense, many people can miss basic things that make working from home tolerable. Personally I love the sociable side of going into the office and having more interaction with people during the week, even though I spend a lot of time on calls during the day it is still completely different to being there is person. Having that physical separation of the work space allowed my mind to switch off to work, because it can be far too easy to blend your day with lots of interruptions and end up spending too long working away. This seems to be a common problem because a lot of businesses must be seeing low productivity with the drive to get people back into the workplace.

Because we're in a modern world where most people work with the jobs that they don't like. The battle today is just all about surviving and bringing food to the table.
That's something new to those that might be new as well on the job market but this isn't new anymore even to the old ones. Working on a job that is not your forte but still works on it.
Anyway, eventually you'll like it when you get used to it.

Talking about long term investment. It will be nice to enter into an investment for a long period of time only when you have something that is sustainable to cover all you expenses till the investment will ripe and yield results. I wont advice those who are new to business or investment to go into a long term thing when he/she is still struggling to stand strong. It will surely affect them because they are not financially buoyant and sometimes they might develop the habit of tempering their investment little by little till there is nothing left. Business and investment is something should be planned and prepared for if not it will not be successful unless the person becomes lucky.

Also, if you love or have passion for the type of work you ae doing you wont get bored at all. Seriously, i have see many persons go into what they love doing and i see them doing ti with happiness for long as technology is increasing they are adapting the technology into the work. Unless you are referring to the type of work where the person is not in control or is working for someone else. Yes, in that case the person can feel bored and at a pont of time would want to stop the job and find something else doing.

I myself have experienced what you said, where I got a job by force because I needed money to survive but I didn't really like the job, because I also had a desire to work in a company that I wanted but it was not easy. It is rare for people who have an interest in working in a job that they like and they get the job, but what I know is that many of them get the job is a job that they don't like, my experience in this case. when I didn't like the job I had but because of the needs that had to be fulfilled so I forced myself to be able to accept everything well, and over time I also felt comfortable with the job that I didn't like at first. From this I learned that we only need to adapt to new things in order to accept them and run them well, and now I can do this job happily and always excited every day even though there are some work pressures that make me lazy to work, but because it's normal so I can accept it well without thinking about anything else or even resigning from the job I got. And by running the work that I run, I don't just work here, I also always submit job applications to the job companies that I want because even though I already feel comfortable with the work that I run doesn't mean I have to stay continuously. of course I also want to have a development where I also want to have my own job company so that I can recruit my friends who are still unemployed. because I want to create jobs to help the economy of my friends or other people.

because at this time looking for a job is not an easy thing, it is very difficult to get a decent job. in my country there is a requirement to pay first in order to get into a company that guarantees, but unfortunately I have experienced something that is not desirable. where I paid the requirement with a fairly high value and at that time I was told to wait for a job recruitment call, but I waited for a long time it didn't happen, not with a job recruitment call, there was no interview call and what made me sick was that the person who gave the requirement was my own brother. I don't know how my brother thought so he could do this bad thing. So in my opinion, I am still careful in looking for a job, especially those that are conditional on having to pay to be able to join a company because it cannot guarantee that we can join the company we are applying for.

However, if I were in that position, I would never consider miscommunication a trivial matter, because if I underestimate a small thing it will trigger a big impact as you said. So I think we should be serious about our work even though it looks simple.
