Remote Work Myth Busted: You can't create deep connections virtually. In Office = Physical Proximity WFH = Emotional Proximity Closeness and connection can be deeper working remote by the very nature that the connection is at an emotional level not a physical one.

@heythemnaji Mindset

In 5 words or less: what should people in their 20s focus on?

@p_millerd Why not do both! The jobs of remote work

Travel was far more effective for me

@LeadAuthentic Same goes for learning a new sport or craft hobby. It’s so gratifying to see yourself get objectively better over time. Great for reestablishing a growth mindset

Engaging in manual labor can be mind-cleansing. In personal development, it can be challenging to measure progress. However, with tasks like building, progress is visible. Similarly, taking time for self-reflection can also reveal growth.

@hashjenni Say you start work at 6am. It’s an easy out

How do u politely tell your visitor that it’s time to go home?

@CaitlinKrause_ Digital wellbeing? Tell me more

It’s a momentous day: one month until ✨Digital Wellbeing✨ is out in the world!!! ☀️🎉⚡️

@KatrinaKibben Once upon a time I sent an interview invitation to the wrong person. Almost exactly the same full name as the other applicant! The person I mistakenly invited ended up getting the job.

If you're in HR and not on Reddit, highly recommend. I just saw a posting that began "I sent an offer letter to the wrong person." 👀

@hailleymari Certainly makes the weekend better

There is nothing quite like starting the week with a reasonable number of things on your to-do list. I highly recommend it when possible.

@AmandaMGoetz The only thing I miss is the occasional after work drinks! But now I just do remote worker drinks every so often

Question for those in their 30s and 40s who used to work in an office and now WFH. What percentage of you misses the old rhythm?

It's time to set a communications charter with your team! Grab this Canva Whiteboard Template to set one in your next team meeting. buff.ly/3UUPuvs A comms charter helps avoid miscommunications, build a team culture, & demystify team norms for new members.

@LeadAuthentic 100% John the time is now. It's much slower to turnaround once you're already burnt out

Burnout isn't just feeling tired. It's a state of chronic stress that erodes your physical and mental well-being, leaving you: • Drained • Cynical • Doubting your abilities If you're constantly exhausted and disengaged, it's time to take action before burnout consumes you.

Focus on Conflict Resolution Remote workers shouldn't avoid conflict conversations. - Address it promptly - Avoid misunderstandings by getting on the phone or video - Encourage open dialogue & active listening - Make it about the situation, not the person - Find a common goal

Remote work has empowered me to redefine success❤️ It's not just about climbing the corporate ladder but finding fulfilment in life itself. The flexibility to pursue passion projects has been a game-changer. #RemoteWorkMindset

@RosserJobs Either remote?

You get 2 job offers - same compensation: 1. Broader role in a smaller company 2. Narrow role in large company Which do you choose?

@RosserJobs What opportunities for growth longer term?

@FitFounder Working 6-2 instead of 9-5

What improved your quality of life so much you wish you did it sooner?

💬 Project updates are essential, but 1:1 meetings can be so much more! Dive into meaningful conversations about well-being, accomplishments, goals, and challenges. Transform routine updates into opportunities for growth and connection 💡

💡 The water cooler moments, the elevator chats—some argue that chance encounters in the office fuel creativity. But in the era of remote work, are virtual interactions equally potent in sparking innovation?

💪 Hone your Tech Savviness! Remote work thrives on technology and the pace of change is rapid. Stay updated on collaboration tools, project management software, & virtual communication sites. Practice in a safe space with your peers or immediate team. #TechSkills #Remote
