Remote Working Survival Guide
======
![](https://www.jonobacon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5b5471d7eadb585ec8b8a0c3_featureimage-remotejob-1080x675.jpg)
Remote working seems to be all the buzz. Apparently, [70% of professionals work from home at least once a week][1]. Similarly, [77% of people work more productively][2] and [68% of millennials would consider a company more if they offered remote working][3]. It seems to make sense: technology, connectivity, and culture seem to be setting the world up more and more for remote working. Oh, and home-brewed coffee is better than ever too.
Now, I am going to write another piece for how companies should optimize for remote working (so make sure you [Join As a Member][4] to stay tuned — it is free).
Today though I want to **share recommendations for how individuals can do remote working well themselves**. Whether you are a full-time remote worker or have the option of working from home a few days a week, this article should hopefully be helpful.
Now, you need to know that **remote working is not a panacea**. Sure, it seems like hanging around at home in your jimjams, listening to your antisocial music, and sipping on buckets of coffee is perfect, but it isnt for everyone.
Some people need the structure of an office. Some people need the social element of an office. Some people need to get out the house. Some people lack the discipline to stay focused at home. Some people are avoiding the government coming and knocking on the door due to years of unpaid back taxes.
**Remote working is like a muscle: it can bring enormous strength and capabilities IF you train and maintain it**. If you dont, your results are going to vary.
I have worked from home for the vast majority of my career. I love it. I am more productive, happier, and empowered when I work from home. I dont dislike working in an office, and I enjoy the social element, but I am more in my “zone” when I work from home. I also love blisteringly heavy metal, which can pose a problem when the office dont want to listen to [After The Burial][5].

I have learned how I need to manage remote work, using the right balance of work routine, travel, and other elements, and here are some of my recommendations. Be sure to **share yours in the comments**.
### 1\. You need discipline and routine (and to understand your “waves”)
Remote work really is a muscle that needs to be trained. Just like building actual muscle, there needs to be a clear routine and a healthy dollop of discipline mixed in.
Always get dressed (no jimjams). Set your start and end time for your day (I work 9am 6pm most days). Choose your lunch break (mine is 12pm). Choose your morning ritual (mine is email followed by a full review of my client needs). Decide where your main workplace will be (mine is my home office). Decide when you will exercise each day (I do it at 5pm most days).
**Design a realistic routine and do it for 66 days**. It takes this long to build a habit. Try not to deviate from the routine. The more you stick the routine, the less work it will seem further down the line. By the end of the 66 days it will feel natural and you wont have to think about it.
Heres the deal though, we dont live in a vacuum ([cleaner, or otherwise][8]). We all have waves.
A wave is when you need a change of routine to mix things up. For example, in summertime I generally want more sunlight. I will often work outside in the garden. Near the holidays I get more distracted, so I need more structure in my day. Sometimes I just need more human contact, so I will work from coffee shops for a few weeks. Sometimes I just fancy working in the kitchen or on the couch. You need to learn your waves and listen to your body. **Build your habit first, and then modify it as you learn your waves**.
### 2\. Set expectations with your management and colleagues
Not everyone knows how to do remote working, and if your company is less familiar with remote working, you especially need to set expectations with colleagues.
This can be pretty simple: **when you have designed your routine, communicate it clearly to your management and team**. Let them know how they can get hold of you, how to contact you in an emergency, and how you will be collaborating while at home.
The communication component here is critical. There are some remote workers who are scared to leave their computer for fear that someone will send them a message while they are away (and they are worried people may think they are just eating Cheetos and watching Netflix).
You need time away. You need to eat lunch without one eye on your computer. You are not a 911 emergency responder. **Set expectations that sometimes you may not be immediately responsive, but you will get back to them as soon as possible**.
Similarly, set expectations on your general availability. For example, I set expectations with clients that I generally work from 9am 6pm every day. Sure, if a client needs something urgently, I am more than happy to respond outside of those hours, but as a general rule I am usually working between those hours. This is necessary for a balanced life.
### 3\. Distractions are your enemy and they need managing
We all get distracted. It is human nature. It could be your young kid getting home and wanting to play Rescue Bots. It could be checking Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter to ensure you dont miss any unwanted political opinions or photos of peoples lunches. It could be that there is something else going on your life that is taking your attention (such as an upcoming wedding, event, or big trip.)
**You need to learn what distracts you and how to manage it**. For example, I know I get distracted by my email and Twitter. I check it religiously and every check gets me out of the zone of what I am working on. I also get distracted by grabbing coffee and water, which then may turn into a snack and a YouTube video.
![][9]
My nemesis for distractions.
The digital distractions have a simple solution: **lock them out**. Close down the tabs until you complete what you are doing. I do this all the time with big chunks of work: I lock out the distractions until I am done. It requires discipline, but all of this does.
The human elements are tougher. If you have a family you need to make it clear that when you are work, you need to be generally left alone. This is why a home office is so important: you need to set boundaries that mum or dad is working. Come in if there is emergency, but otherwise they need to be left alone.
There are all kinds of opportunities for locking these distractions out. Put your phone on silent. Set yourself as away. Move to a different room (or building) where the distraction isnt there. Again, be honest in what distracts you and manage it. If you dont, you will always be at their mercy.
### 4\. Relationships need in-person attention
Some roles are more attuned to remote working than others. For example, I have seen great work from engineering, quality assurance, support, security, and other teams (typically more focused on digital collaboration). Other teams such as design or marketing often struggle more in remote environments (as they are often more tactile.)
With any team though, having strong relationship is critical, and in-person discussion, collaboration, and socializing is essential to this. So many of our senses (such as body language) are removed in a digital environment, and these play a key role in how we build trust and relationships.
![][10]
Rockets also help.
This is especially important if (a) you are new a company and need to build these relationships, (b) are new to a role and need to build relationships with your team, or (c) are in a leadership position where building buy-in and engagement is a key part of your job.
**The solution? A sensible mix of remote and in-person time.** If your company is nearby, work from home part of the week and at the office part of the week. If your company is further a away, schedule regular trips to the office (and set expectations with your management that you need this). For example, when I worked at XPRIZE I flew to LA every few weeks for a few days. When I worked at Canonical (who were based in London), we had sprints every three months.
### 5\. Stay focused, but cut yourself some slack
The crux of everything in this article is about building a capability, and developing a remote working muscle. This is as simple as building a routine, sticking to it, and having an honest view of your “waves” and distractions and how to manage them.
I see the world in a fairly specific way: **everything we do has the opportunity to be refined and improved**. For example, I have been public speaking now for over 15 years, but I am always discovering new ways to improve, and new mistakes to fix (speaking of which, see my [10 Ways To Up Your Public Speaking Game][11].)
There is a thrill in the discovery of new ways to get better, and to see every stumbling block and mistake as an “aha!” moment to kick ass in new and different ways. It is no different with remote working: look for patterns that help to unlock ways in which you can make your remote working time more efficient, more comfortable, and more fun.
![][12]
Get these books. They are fantastic for personal development.
See my [$150 Personal Development Kit][13] article
…but dont go crazy over it. There are some people who obsesses every minute of their day about how to get better. They beat themselves up constantly for “not doing well enough”, “not getting more done”, and not meeting their internal unrealistic view of perfection.
We are humans. We are animals, and we are not robots. Always strive to improve, but be realistic that not everything will be perfect. You are going to have some off-days or off-weeks. You are going to struggle at times with stress and burnout. You are going to handle a situation poorly remotely that would have been easier in the office. Learn from these moments but dont obsess over them. Life is too damn short.

远程工作生存指南
======
![](https://www.jonobacon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5b5471d7eadb585ec8b8a0c3_featureimage-remotejob-1080x675.jpg)
远程工作似乎是最近的一个热门话题。CNBC 报道称, [70% 的专业人士至少每周在家工作一次][1]。同样地CoSo Cloud 调查发现, [77% 的人在远程工作时效率更高][2] ,而 aftercollege 的一份调查显示, [8% 的千禧一代会更多地考虑提供远程工作的公司][3]。 这看起来很合理:技术,网络以及文化似乎越来越推动远程工作的发展。哦,自制咖啡也比以前任何时候更好喝了。
目前,我准备写另一篇关于公司如何优化远程工作的文章(所以请确保你加入我们的会员以持续关注——这是免费的)。
但今天,我想 **分享一些个人如何做好远程工作的建议**。 不管你是全职远程工作者,或者是可以选择一周某几天在家工作的人,希望这篇文章对你有用。
眼下,你需要明白, **远程工作不是万能药**。当然,穿着睡衣满屋子乱逛,听听反社会音乐,喝一大杯咖啡看起来似乎挺完美的,但这不适合每个人。
有的人需要办公室的结构。有的人需要办公室的社会元素。有的人需要从家里走出来。有的人在家里缺乏保持关注的纪律。有的人因为好几年未缴退税而避免政府工作人员来住处敲门。
**远程工作就好像一块肌肉:如果你锻炼并且保持它,那么它能带来极大的力量和能力**。 如果不这么做,结果就不一样了。
在我职业生涯的大多数时间里,我在家工作。我喜欢这么做。当我在家工作的时候,我更有效率,更开心,更有能力。我并非不喜欢在办公室工作,我享受办公室的社会元素,但我更喜欢在家工作时我的“空间”。 我喜欢听重金属音乐,但当整个办公室的人不想听到 [After The Burial][5] 的时候,这会引起一些问题。

已经学会了如何正确平衡工作,旅行以及其他元素来管理我的远程工作,以下是我的一些建议。 请务必**在评论中分享一些你的建议**。
### 1\.你需要训练和习惯(以及了解你的“波浪”)
远程工作确实是需要训练的一块肌肉。就像构建真正的肌肉一样,它需要一个清楚的惯例和一小块健康的训练混合起来。
永远保持穿戴整齐不要穿睡衣。设置你一天工作的开始和结束时间大多时候我从早上9点工作到下午6点。选好你的午餐休息时间我的是中午12点。选好你的早晨仪式我的是电子邮件紧接着是全面审查客户需求。决定你的主工作地在哪我的主工作地是我家里的工作室。决定好每天你什么时候运动大多数时候我在下午5点运动
**设计一个实际的习惯并坚持66天**。构建一个习惯需要很长时间不要尝试着背离你的习惯。你越坚持这个习惯做下去所花费的功夫越少。在这66天的末尾你想都不会想自然而然地就按习惯去做了。
话虽这么说,我们又不住在真空里 ([更干净,或者别的什么][8])。我们都有自己的“波浪”。
“波浪”是你为了改变做事的方法时,对日常做出的一些改变。举个例子,夏天的时候我通常需要更多的阳光。那时我经常会在室外的花园工作。临近假期的时候我更容易分心,所以我在上班时间会更需要呆在室内。有时候我只想要多点人际接触,因此我会在咖啡馆工作几周。有时候我就是喜欢在厨房或者长椅上工作。你需要学习你的“波浪”并倾听你的身体。 **首先构建你自己的兴趣,然后在你认识到自己的“波浪”的时候再对它进行适当的修改**
### 2\. 和你的同事以及上司一起设立预期
不是每个人都知道怎么远程工作,如果你的公司对远程工作没那么熟悉,你尤其需要和同事一起设立预期。
这件事十分简单:**当你要设计自己的工作日常的时候,清楚地跟你的上司和团队进行交流。**让他们知道如何找到你,紧急情况下如何联系你,以及你在家的时候如何保持合作。
这里的通信构件至关重要。有些远程工作者很怕离开他们的电脑,因为害怕当他们不在的时候有人给他们发消息(他们担心别人会觉得他们在边吃奇多边看 Netflix
你需要离开一会的时间。你需要吃午餐的时候眼睛不用一直盯着电脑屏幕。你又不是911接线员。 **设定预期以后,有时候你可能不能立刻回复,但你会尽快回复**
同样地设定你的一般可用性的预期。举个例子我对客户设立的预期是我一般每天早上9点到下午6点工作。当然如果某个客户急需某样东西我很乐意在这段时间外回应他但作为一个一般性规则我通常只在这段时间内工作。这对于生活的平衡是必要的。
### 3\. 分心是你的敌人,它们需要管理
我们都会分心这是人类的本能。让你分心的事情可能是你的孩子回家了想玩变形金刚救援机器人可能是看看FacebookInstagram或者 Twitter 以确保你不会错过任何不受欢迎的政治观点,或者某人的午餐图片;可能是你生活中即将到来的某件事带走了你的注意力(例如,即将举办的婚礼,活动,或者一次大旅行)。
**你需要明白什么让你分心以及如何管理它**。举个例子,我知道我的电子邮件和 Twitter 会让我分心。我经常查看它们,并且每次查看都会让我脱离我正在工作的空间。拿水或者咖啡的时候我总会分心去吃零食,看 Youtube 的视频。
![][9]
我的分心克星
由电子产品造成的分心有一个简单对策:**锁起来**。直到你完成你手头的事情再关闭选项卡。有繁重的工作的时候我总这么干:我把让我分心的东西锁起来,直到做完手头的工作。这需要控制能力,但所有的一切都需要。
因为别人影响而分心的元素更难解决。如果你是有家庭的人,你需要在你工作的时候不被打扰,你通常需要独处。这也是为什么家庭办公室这么重要:你需要设一些“爸爸/妈妈正在工作”的界限。如果有急事才能进来,否则让孩子自个儿玩去。
把让你分心的事分开有许多方法:把你的电话静音;把自己的状态设成“离开”;换到一个没有让你分心的事的房间(或建筑物)。再重申一次,了解是什么让你分心并控制好它。如果不这么做,你会永远被分心的事摆布。
### 4\. (良好的)关系需要面对面的关注
有的角色比其他角色与远程工作更合拍。例如,我见过工程、质量保证、支持、安全以及其他团队(通常更专注于数字协作)的出色工作。其他团队,如设计或营销,往往在远程环境下更难熬(因为它们更注重触觉)。
但是,对于任何团队而言,建立牢固的关系至关重要,而现场讨论,协作和社交很有必要。我们的许多感官(例如肢体语言)在数字环境中被删除,这些在我们建立信任和关系的方式中发挥着关键作用。
![][10]
火箭也很有帮助
这尤为重要如果a你初来这家公司需要建立关系b你是一个新角色需要和你的团队建立关系或者c你处于领导地位建立买入和参与是你工作的关键部分。
**解决方法是?合理搭配远程工作与面对面的时间。** 如果你的公司就在附近,可以用一部分的时间在家工作,一部分时间在公司工作。如果你的公司比较远,安排定期前往办公室(并对你的上司设定你需要这么做的预期)。例如,当我在 XPRIZE 工作的时候,我每几周就会飞往洛杉矶几天。当我在 Canonical 工作时(总部在伦敦),我们每三个月来一次冲刺。
### 5\. 保持专注,不要松懈
本文所有内容的关键在于构建能力,并培养远程工作的肌肉。这就像建立你的日常,坚持它,并明白你的“波浪”和让你分心的事情以及如何管理它们一样简单。
我以一种相当具体的方式来看待这个世界:**我们所做的一切都有机会得到改进和完善**。举个例子,我已经公开演讲超过 15 年,但我总是能发现新的改进方法,以及修复新的错误(说到这些,请参阅我的 [提升你公众演讲的10个方法][11])。
发现新的改善方法,以及把每个绊脚石和错误视为一个开启新的不同的“啊哈!”时刻让人兴奋。远程工作和这没什么不同:寻找有助于解锁方式的模式,让你的远程工作时间更高效,更舒适,更有趣。
![][12]
看看这些书。它们非常适合个人发展。
参阅我的 [150 美元个人发展工具包][13] 文章
...但别为此狂热。有的人花尽他们每一分钟来关注如何变得更好,他们经常以“做得还不够好”,“完成度不够高”等为由打击自己,无法达到他们内心关于完美的不切实际的观点。
我们都是人,我们是有生命的,不是机器人。始终致力于改进,但要明白不是所有东西都是完美的。你将会有一些休息日或休息周。你将会因为压力和倦怠而挣扎。你将会处理一些在办公室比远程工作更容易的情况。从这些时刻中学习,但不要沉迷于此。生命太短暂了。
**你有什么提示,技巧和建议吗?你如何管理远程工作?我的建议中还缺少什么吗?在评论区中与我分享!**
