Pros & Cons of Remote Working

Pros

  • You don't need to commute to work. Instead spend that time doing things you love instead (did someone say morning yoga?).
  • Ability to travel and work at the same time.
  • Set up your work space exactly as you like it.
  • Possible to spend more time close to loved ones or animals.
  • More flexibility in the times you're working. (We practice ASYNC working as much as we can).
  • Easier to have concentrated focus time.
  • Work in your pyjamas?

Cons

  • The lines between work and personal space can become blurred unless you make specific efforts to plan your time & working space.
  • Easy to get distracted and "over commit" to family activities.
  • Hard to really get to know your colleagues and spend time having small conversations beside a coffee machine.
  • Easier to get lonely without personal interactions.
  • Days can suddenly become meeting heavy since small conversations aren't happening naturally in the office.
