What would that guy in the photo do when children sprinkle salty sea water over his laptop? Or when his battery runs out? Don't assume you will have wi-fi or electricity everywhere or silence and a place to focus when working where others holiday.

It depends on the beach, the season, and how far you are from your room, especially in places like Algarrobo, Chile, which offer coworking areas and are not as overwhelmingly expensive as some might think. But seriously, it's not always as pictured, at least not while working. However, it's totally fair on your breaks if you are working remotely in a nice place. I usually take my laptop outside during my breaks just to read some stuff or chat with family or friends.

Thanks for the toolkits, really useful!

One thing I'd like to add is, how important it is to set clear boundaries between work and life, as we're already WFH, the boundaries can be hazy sometimes.

That's true. When I was starting to work in general, I was always trying to provide the best value, sometimes sacrificing my own free time. That is always a mistake. I'm glad you liked it.

Couldn't agree more with these 3 points:

  1. Maintain a Healthy Routine
  2. Prioritize Physical Health
  3. Dedicate time for exercise to boost energy levels and combat sedentary habits.

I wouldn't recommend LastPass anymore. It's had numerous security breaches over the years. I've been using a self-hosted instance of Bitwarden, and it's been great so far.

It's true that having your own gadgets and your own ways of solving challenges makes a difference in a remote job. It's not just about the job; it's also about the entire experience of finding a balance between productivity and work-life balance.
