These are scary times.
Real worries about our own health, the health of loved ones, the global economy, and our particular employment situation are combined with expert recommendations for most of us to restrict many normal stress-relieving activities.
For our part, Freedom has already instituted a travel restriction and work-from-home policy, and in many ways, work is a welcome distraction from thinking about more serious issues.
The nature of our work made me consider writing a post about how the current moment perfectly illustrates the need for Digital Asset Management—in particular given the surprising number of knowledge workers who evidently find remote work a novel challenge. But while true, this article seemed too much like profiteering.
Instead, I decided to share quick thoughts about working remotely in general for the neophytes. When I founded Freedom, I went from a full-time in-office executive role to a 1-person organization working from home full time. That was a system shock. We are social creatures who will do crazy things if isolated. Like paying for WeWork office space. But I figured out how to be productive, and while that experience is a distant memory now, I can share some pointers.
