I’ve been keeping a small list of resources for people that are trying to work remotely even if just temporarily during this current pandemic. Below are a few links to things that are potentially helpful even if you’ve been working remotely for a while:
- Treehouse has made their tutorial "How To Work Remotely" free for everyone.
- If your office and desk are less than inspiring, Dwell has a beautiful set of 25 home office designs that are fun to peruse.
- LinkedIn has a great set of online courses for learning to work remotely. Their "Executive Presence" video is particularly good advice for anyone when preparing for conference calls.
- Remote: Office Not Required is a great, short read by the creators of Basecamp. It provides some good backstory and explanations about the values of remote work.
- Atlassian, one of the largest and most famous 100% remote companies, has a great introduction to remote work.
- Greg Storey at InVision has an amazing curated list of remote work articles and resources. He is constantly updating the list so make sure to check back frequently.
- The authors of Thinking Remote have an email series that you can sign up for. It's a fairly thought-provoking series and is limited in length so you won't get tired of it.
- They also have a great podcast series titled 21st Century Work Life and leading remote teams. I've only recently started listening to this, but I really enjoy it.
- Collaboration Superpowers has a fantastic newsletter about working and managing remotely. (Also, don't miss their really great guide for meeting facilitation!)
- Inc. has compiled a list of companies that are making their remote work tools free temporarily. If you've been curious about some of the paid teleconferencing tools, now is a great time to try them out without any cost.
