    Started remote work before it was mainstream right after I got my master's degree back in 2015. Since I can not imagine myself without it.

    @rslysh Cool, that you are an remote worker for almost 10 years. Would also never change back to a presence culture

    I started working remotely 9 weeks ago, already I find myself more productive, less distracted and my work life balance is much much better. Whilst working from my office I was always determined to take a 20-30 minute walk a couple times a day, did I? No! Something always came up. Working remotely, I've gotten into the habit of having a proper break a couple times per day.

    @joshmead cool, that you directly notice these points. What was your motivation to change to remote work?

    @marvin_maendle I ended up burnout during COVID times, our business went crazy at the time, one of the fortunate one. Unfortunately for me, my burnout made me turn to addictive substances to cope. In the end I ended up in a rehab facility over Dec 2023, as soon as I got out I realised I needed to dramatically change my life

    I'm used to working with a comfortable desk, monitor, and keyboard. And I often have to move from place to place. Therefore, you have to work in a coworking space.

    @hkey thanks for sharing, will try my luck in two weeks in Cape Town

    @hkey Do you have any experiences with coworking spaces?
    Andrey Belousov
    @marvin_maendle Yes, I was a client of about 20 coworking spaces. Life hack: it’s better to choose one that has recently opened - there are fewer people there.

    @babakzy Do you like the isolation or do you miss to socialize?

    If you're not someone who enjoys being outdoors, I would recommend staying in the office with your colleagues to ensure you don't miss out on sunshine and exercise. 🎉We're launching "Cascad3 - A decentralized inspiration-driven publishing platform" on Product Hunt soon. Let's collaborate! I would appreciate your support and feedback by clicking the "Notify Me" button to stay tuned and be the first to know when Cascad3 debuts on the stage.👇 producthunt.com/products/cascad3 Thank you!

    Different people and different roles are more suitable for remote work. For example, a coding team can be operated pretty well even when working hybrid. On the other hand, other roles such as product managers need to be in a "flourishing" environment, talking and exchanging ideas with others.

    @ofir_kruvi thats true! But I think there will be new ways to sharing ideas and talking in a remote setting in the future. So excited of the changes in the next 5 years.

    Time management has become an art form, a delicate balance between being so productive that you forget to move for hours and taking so many "quick breaks" that you wonder if you've accidentally taken the day off. The boundaries between work and home life? As clear as a foggy day in San Francisco, leading to midnight emails because, hey, the laptop was just... there.

    @natalie_trotsenko I agree! It takes some time and self discipline, but once you figured out the right structure for you, it is a game changer for me.

    I can travel more and better schedule my life. When I feel better, I deliver better results :) and have a tone of time for another activity that helps me to improve (and possibly improve other people's lives).

    @busmark_w_nika I also like the freedom that remote work offers. The better quality of my life also affects my motivation, totally agree with your points!

    @marvin_maendle Yeah, the social distance is not so good aspect of this, but I can still compensate it with tech meetups or extracurricular activities.

    after working onsite for 14 years, can honestly say that working remotely has saved me a ton of time which I enjoy spending with family and taking care of my health. I do however recommend for fresh grads to work onsite first, then move onto a hybrid structure

    @hussein_hashish I once read the following sentence here on product hunt: Remote work infuses my days with micro-doses of humanity. - It describes perfectly how remote work improves the quality of life. I also agree with hybrid model. Once a week for the team and 4 days to get the most out of it for the company & yourself!

    I have a bad back now, but in general i became happier person, as i can manage my own time and on't need to ask permission if i want to take a day off etc etc. Also clerk chat https://clerk.chat/ helps me to get in touch with the customers more easy and quickly, which is great.

    @ipaparazzo_app you always will learn from your mistakes. Do you think through remote work you have to learn faster and by yourself?
    Dentist
    Remote work has reshaped many professions, including dentistry, though indirectly. For dentists, it influences administrative tasks and patient consultations via teledentistry, enhancing flexibility and efficiency. This shift can reduce office costs and travel time, allowing more focus on patient care and personal well-being.

    @shariii So nice to hear, that remote work also helps dentist to improve the way they work.
