138. How to work online, remain productive, and connect with people.
I am always giving my clients tips on how to work online. Here are the key complaints I hear from clients and friends:
- It's hard to connect with people
- It's hard to keep productive
- It's lonely, and
- There's a tendency to work too much
But, working online is now the main aspect of white-collar working life. Many office workers who, pre-pandemic, had to commute to work now can work remotely. Even if they go back to the office, you may find it empty, and most of the work you do is still in front of the computer anyway. So for transitional office-based companies, virtual companies, working for yourself, or job hunting, I hope you will find these tips helpful.
