It’s been a long while since I’ve posted here, I think it’s time to get into the swing of things, eh?
As a recap…nothing really has changed. Well in terms of how I work. The who changes, the what is pretty much the same, and the how has been status quo for seven and a half years now.
Web Worker Daily, which should be a must-read for folks like us, had a little article on how to be a better web worker:
Web Worker Daily » Blog Archive How to become a better web worker. «
Many people with regular jobs look at the digital bedouins tapping away at their laptops in the coffee shop at 10:30 in the morning and think to themselves, “Nice work if you can get it, but I need my real job. Alas.” And while full-time, slipper-wearing, video-conferencing-from-your-backyard web work isn’t possible for all employees, you may find that you can edge your regular job toward a more web worker-like structure.
I have to say these tips only skim the surface and misses the biggest factor: you. Are you ready to be a web worker? Can you resist the nap and Oprah temptation? Can you still get it all done? Can you adapt to the freedom. Sure you can have the ability to work whenever you want, but …
But remember you still live in the real world and will have to deal with some people during what they consider “normal” work hours (hint: 2 AM isn’t “normal” for most people).
In the year since the book has taken a hiatus, technology hasn’t changed a heck of a lot. Sure the web-based stuff has gotten cooler looking and easier to use, but the functions are still pretty much the same.
Over the next little while, as I bring this blog and book back from the digital dead, look for some updated tips.
Ciao!
