Remote Work Experience

I've worked as a freelancer with Upwork while backpacking through Europe. I've traveled x countries in y months while making z. I was associated with a couple of exciting long term projects and met some amazing people at work. I was convinced remote work was right for me after that. I fully embraced the lifestyle after I started Goscale in 2017.

Smart suggestions Raghu. I have found the following to be important and am still working on doing them better:
- Keeping a clear cut-off between my work and personal-life: Having a proper workstation does help with that. But I think there also has to be some defined timings too.
- Self-care: Big time. I think one needs to exercise or engage in something that they are passionate about as a part of their routine. It becomes an important tool to take your mind off work.
I am trying a couple of new things too. For e.g. I wear “office clothes” to my workspace so that I get into the “work zone”. Also, get back to my usual clothes at the end of the day to signify the end of the workday.

Yes, at Flexiple our tech team is remote. Further, we consistently work with freelancers from our network who are located across timezones. It is an interesting dynamic that poses challenges but also enforces discipline like nothing else I have experiened before.
