[Newsletter] Working Better, Every Day

Hi there,

Remote work has always suited me better than office life: letting me work at my own pace while staying close to those who matter most. Today, that’s my kids; before them, it was my mutt and favorite co-worker, Paro.

Along the way, I’ve come to recognize the challenges of remote work too: loneliness, pajama days, and finding the right places to work from.

If you’re like me, today’s reads offer practical advice on achieving a healthier work-life balance, with a bonus article to help you decide whether going remote is right for you in the first place.

Enjoy the read.
