People aren't typically taught how to thrive in a distributed workplace. Sure, they formally study to learn a specific occupation: design, marketing, sales, development, finance, law, or education.

If you work from home, a coworking space, or coffee shop, this book is for you. The author's anecdotes about his 21-year remote work journey will inform and entertain you. Discover how to set up a quality workspace. Learn the behaviors and practices that contribute to remote worker success. You, too, can thrive in a distributed workplace.

From the Inside Flap
Remote work is on the rise in the United States. Gallup reported that, in 2016, 43% of U.S. employees worked remotely in some capacity, up from 39% in 2012. According to the 2017 State of Telecommuting in the U.S. Employee Workforce Report, the number of U.S. workers doing at least half of their job from a non-office location more than doubled between 2005 and 2015.
When you think about remote work, you might have some questions:
How do you stay motivated?
How do you stay connected?
How do you avoid staying "out of sight and out of mind"?
I've answered these questions (and many more) for friends and colleagues who work remotely, or are thinking about starting to work remotely. One of my colleagues asked me for tips in a poignant instant messaging thread. He was struggling as a new father who recently started working remotely. He was having trouble finding his groove and getting his work done. That messaging thread was the catalyst for this book.
If you're new to working remotely, I'm sure you'll find something here that will help you get started on the right track. If you're a veteran, I hope you find a tip or two to help you have a renewed relationship with your remote work lifestyle.
