Community Q&A

In a fully remote role, I worry about being ‘out of sight, out of mind’ for promotions or big projects. What strategies do you use to stay on your boss’s radar without seeming pushy?

How to start and run a successful online club or community for a niche hobby (like board gaming, classic film analysis, or urban gardening) specifically targeting fellow remote workers who might have flexible schedules and seek connection?

How to find and join truly active online communities for crafters or artists that offer genuine skill-sharing, feedback, and maybe even collaborative opportunities? Especially for remote workers looking for that creative connection.

As a manager, I’m worried I’m missing signs of burnout in my remote team since we don’t have casual office chats. What clues should I look for, and how do you check in without being intrusive?

How to balance demanding remote work responsibilities with significant childcare or eldercare duties when you’re the primary caregiver at home? It often feels like being pulled in multiple directions, leading to overwhelm.

How to maintain healthy eating habits and resist the siren call of constant snacking when your remote office is literally steps away from the kitchen? I feel like I’m grazing all day!

Starting a new remote job soon, and I’m worried about connecting with my team. In an office, you chat over coffee, but online feels so formal. How do you create real trust without face-to-face time? Any specific strategies or tools that help?

I once had to join a Zoom meeting from a parked car during a road trip. Got me thinking—what’s the strangest place you’ve worked from remotely? How did you make it work?

I’m a digital nomad, always moving. I’ve worked from some odd spots (like a treehouse once!). What’s the strangest place you’ve set up your laptop for remote work, and how did you handle internet, power, or focus? Spill the tea!

My company is trying to do more remote team building but most of the virtual escape rooms and happy hours feel so forced and awkward. Any actually fun and engaging ideas that helped your distributed team bond? Pls share successes (and failures lol).

How to leverage the flexibility of remote work to seriously pursue a passion in the arts (like writing, music production, or digital illustration) as a side hustle or potential career shift? What platforms are best for showcasing work and finding clients/audience?

I’m finally taking the plunge into the digital nomad lifestyle! My work approved remote work from anywhere as long as I maintain overlap with team hours (EST). I need places with really stable internet (I do video calls), reasonable cost of living, and safe for a solo female traveler. Any recomendations for cities that worked...

Remote work blurs the line between personal and professional life. Have you ever had to set an unusual boundary with coworkers, family, or even yourself to keep things sane? What was it, and how did it go?

Remote work’s great for flexibility, but I am exhausted from always being “on.” There’s no commute to signal the end of the day, and work creeps into evenings. How do you prevent or recover from burnout?
