The “Always be X” Of Remote Working Mike Bell (@mikebell_)
Hi! I’m Mike Bell (@mikebell_)
Senior Developer for Convivio a fully distributed web agency.
London, Brighton, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle More staff outside London! We
take remote working seriously.
This is what 8 months of remote working has taught
me.
Make sure your laptop is always charged Always be charging
Cables, all of them. HDMI / USB A to B
/ Display Port to X Always be carrying…
You never know when you’ll next get chance! Always be
toileting
Just because your remote it’s no excuse to be late!
Always be on time
Bring water and snacks wherever you are. Healthy snacks a
plus Always be snacking
Coffeeshops are business too Always be not this guy
Respect the businesses you use Pay for your time in
drinks and food Always be buying things
Don’t forget to say please and thankful. The effect on
others and yourself is great. Always be thankful
IEMs or noise cancelling headphones are a must Always be
plugged in
Make sure your home office is perfect your going to
spend a lot of time there. Always be comfortable
Find someone to co-work with at least once a week.
Helps to prevent cabin fever. Always be co-working
Have a problem? Tell someone. Get help sooner rather than
later. Always be communicating
Find events that interest you and go. Meet new people.
Always be attending
Healthy body leads to a healthy mind. Far too easy
to sit at home and do nothing. Always be exercising
Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, you name it I’ve got it. Always be
a legal drug mule
Regular breaks clear your head. Always be … taking a
break
Avoid typing notes find a wall and use it. Always
be post it noting… ??? sorry
No one wants to get wet in lovely Manchester weather.
Always be umbrellering
Announce to colleagues when your around or not. Always be
say hi and goodbye
Any questions? And with that Goodbye!
