Working Remote Survival Tips

So, I'm looking for Working Remote Survival Tips. How do you survive working remotely? How do you thrive working remotely?

I know, there are a ton of articles out there, but I'm looking for the true, nitty-gritty, facts and stats that keep you sane and keep you producing inside those four walls we call home.

For instance, I've been working remotely for going on my third month. Already I've deployed the following Working Remote Survival Tips to keep focused and plowing forward:

Don't be afraid to claim the walk-in closet as your primary work place for an extended amount of time.

If you're in a rural area, and your location has a big enough well house, a well house is a perfectly acceptable work office when push comes to shove.

There is WORK time and there is FAMILY time. I know they're going to spill over, but you've got to draw BOUNDARIES for BOTH.

Laundry can wait for the weekend. Don't let it distract you from a deadline.

Getting in the habit of shaving, showering, dressing appropriately for a work day, and smelling good goes a long way in helping the attitude and doesn't gross out your house mates.

Don't forget the gym. It's good for body and soul.

I've worked in my car for extended amounts of time. Gives a new meaning to the term "road warrior."

And those are just the ones that came off the top of my head...

So how about you?

What are the tips and tricks you can share that keep you steady at work and sane everywhere else?

It's official: I've joined the gig economy:

I was working a contract recently that ended yesterday. In the debriefing with the owner, he made the comment, "You don't want to be here do you?"

I answered honestly, "No. This isn't an ideal situation for me."

"What's an ideal situation for you?" He asked.

I smiled and thought about it. "If I had known you two years ago, before you went through all the crying and gnashing of teeth to get your e-commerce company up and running, I could have built you from the ground up a heck of a lot faster than you got to the point you're at today."

He smiled. "Turnkey, huh?"

"Turnkey. E-commerce. Marketing. Email. Social. Print if necessary. I could have taken it, ran with it, and it wouldn't have been on your plate like it is now."

"I wish I had known you then."

It was my turn to smile. "Me too."

It may have ended a contract, but I found another entrepreneurial friend and I finally have clarity about what I want to pursue.

If you're just starting your e-commerce journey and you need a seasoned veteran that can get you going on the right course with E-commerce, marketing, email, and social, let's chat. You might be glad you know me, too.
