The modern world provides us with a wonderful opportunity to choose a profession, which does not need to produce one single item from dawn to dusk in the dark halls of the old brick factory. In our time, successfully realize themselves, to build a business and gain complete freedom can be where you want it (and where for like all conditions).
Flexible schedule, leading to increased productivity, the ability to not waste time on the way to the office, personally created the conditions for the concentration of the working process - all this makes remote work cherished dream of many office workers.
Remote operation is fraught with many pitfalls (including lack of non-verbal communication), but rest assured, modern technology set new standards, change our ideas about how the work process, and about the rest. You can live in a world where there are no boundaries, if desired for weeks to communicate with living people, travel and work at the same time, investing your spare time in the creative growth and self-realization.
It remains to solve only one question: how do we build a workflow to work does not interfere with recreation and leisure gave strength for daily work?
The destination point - line travel destination h4>
Where to go? In fact, the destination does not matter. You can go to Europe and catch in the forest dozens of open Wi-Fi networks or weeks to travel through the mountains of Nepal, in search of a cafe with internet. Cheap, simple, exotic, trampled by tourists - all of these places on the planet await you. If your goal is to combine leisure with work, you have to rely only on a few basic principles: the existence in the country of the free internet, the presence of electricity, the ability to create comfortable conditions for work.
The last point is very different, because each has its own requirements for an ideal place of work. You have to remember the main thing: the purpose of your trip to get the most from working with the adjoining holiday. Objectives "good rest" or "excellent work" by themselves will only interfere. In fact there is no contradiction between work and leisure - the second as the power to the battery, the energy you need each day and is practically absent in the cities. Get this energy from space - that is the meaning of work in remote travel.
If you feel that you were in a past life penguin, go to Finland. Love the hot climate - to work in the shadow of the bungalows on Bali. Prefer the atmosphere of the hive in which everyone is busy with his creative thing, go to Europe, where there is more than one thousand coworking centers in which, in addition to jobs, there is chill out room telephone and skype-negotiation, coffee area and fenced areas for smoking . Rent workplace can be just a few hours.
All the tools for the job h4>
The recipient country will receive from you a little bit of money for the SIM-card with unlimited internet. You will need a smartphone and a laptop. The fact of Internet cafes should not confuse the traveler. Periodic change of the surrounding space favorably influences the mental mood. Today you will want to work in the cozy atmosphere of the working office, and go to the beach tomorrow and will through TeamViewer repair base in Moscow, feeling the vast ocean licks her feet.
Perhaps you yourself have long opted for the all the necessary software for remote operation. Jump Desktop, TightVNC, TeamViewer, Google Remote Desktop - thousands of them! Laptop with good battery - a meaningless thing in the apartment. But should be thousands of miles away from the sleeping area of the city, as you begin to get real pleasure from mobility. By the way, not only employment in the IT predisposes to telework. Writers, journalists, artists, musicians, creators of all genres can try a cocktail called "work - a vacation."
50/50 h4>
Experienced freelancers know what to focus on work at home - a heavy task, especially in the presence of the family. In a new country, you can make yourself travel schedule / work and stick to it. The first 2 weeks you can do only hiking in the surrounding mountains, and the second a couple of weeks to spend in the local internet cafe. Or work will occupy the morning four hours at the same time, freeing you to the evening hours.
Regardless of the style of rest, you should stick to a simple rule: nothing should take the lion's share of your time. 50/50 excellent distribution, but you can change it depending on the strength. 60/40? Why not. But remember that if the work becomes too much (and vice versa, is becoming too much of a daiquiri in the pool under the hot sun), your performance will decline. Do not forget to feed power from the place of your location and the atmosphere itself.
Creating the right atmosphere h4> The purpose of the trip - to successfully combine work with pleasure. Not every room in the hotel you will find convenient to replace the office space. Certainly, you can work and sitting on a cardboard box under a bridge, but the factor of formation of a favorable environment has a significant impact on productivity.
Let's see what is selected « workaholics i>», for which the work - the purpose of travel. On the photo you see Hacker house in Palo Alto (yonder he hides behind the trees ... but what's stopping you work at this luscious lawn?). Spacious two-story house with lots of places to work. If you want to get into the spirit of Silicon Valley, get new contacts, including among startups, if you need a community of people like you and professionals - this is a great choice. Take a room, choose a comfortable place to work - and enjoy the process, during which you will be able to consult on complex issues with neighbors.
For some travelers, couples, an interesting option would be an office on wheels. As long as your friend or wife are driving a car, exploring the streets of an unfamiliar city, you remotely solve current problems. And after a few hours sunbathing on a deserted wild beach.
Lovers of quiet quiet comfort make their choice in favor of lone working office, located at secret lodge midst backwoods somewhere in Sweden. The century-old forest outside the window, the slanting rays of sunlight filtering through almost the trees, does not throw glare on glossy displays. No agony of life in metropolitan areas do not distract you from pressing affairs. However, the simplicity is deceptive place, in 15 minutes you can be in the conurbation and completely transform into a tourist-traveler.
