I have just completed my first full calendar month of the new teleworking arrangement I have with my current employer, so feel it is a good time to write down some of my feelings and detail my experience thus far. My arrangement is to work remotely for 3 days of my 5 day week, travelling in to the office on two consecutive days, typically Wednesday and Thursday. This tends to break up my week very nicely in to easy chunks: Monday-Tuesday at home, Wednesday-Thursday in office, Friday at home, and then the weekend. This in itself is one of the biggest advantages in my view; I get 3 ‘fresh starts’ per week where I can be ultra-productive. Rarely do I now get ‘that Friday Afternoon feeling! Following are some tips I have if you are about to start working remotely (and a lot of these points apply to freelance workers too)

Working from home: Month 1
Wednesday, August 31st, 2011Hello and Welcome.
Monday, March 22nd, 2010Hello and welcome to you all. This is a “brand new for 2010″ blog written by a 20 year old web developer based on the Herefordshire/Worcestershire border in the United Kingdom. Over the coming months I will hopefully find the time to cover a large range of topics in the web development field. My posts could range from tiny but very helpful little SQL snippets that I use from day-to-day in both my job at Hughes Media Internet Ltd and when freelancing, to slightly more “theory-based” articles regarding the best approaches to take to solve common problems.
