Remote dev checklist

Hello fellow devs, considering lots of you work remote nowadays, what guidelines do you follow to make this more enjoyable

Here's what I try to do:

• have a nice setup - it's important that you enjoy your space since you will spend so much time in here. If you want to check out mine I posted it here

Need to sell guitars to get some extra monitors

• use good hardware and technical setup . Even though I don't like to have many things on my desk, apart from the Dell XPS 15, what makes my life better is this pair of NC headphones. They are important for deep focus - as it also blocks out the fan noise from the laptop or the outdoor noise as I sometimes work with the windows open

• have a schedule & be organized - I use the same 9-5/6 hours that I would use if I would go to a regular office

• interact, share ideas, try to help others - I have conferance calls daily with teammates to help on job topics. Online communities are also great - Dev, Twitter - this is the best time to get you social in the online space

• deliver awesome work - now it's the right moment to be productive and really focus on what you need to achieve. Being remote also saves a lot of time that can be invested into sharpening some of our skills or enjoying some hobbies
