Yesterday I asked my close friend/boss if he would consider letting me work remotely for extended periods of time (2-3 weeks, maybe more) in order to improve my quality of life. He was very supportive and said he would be totally on board if I can prove there is no slipping in my productivity. Obviously I would be happy to work longer/odd hours in return for a cool lifestyle upgrade.
Most of my work involves email communication, proposal writing, accounting, and project specific administrative work. All of this can be done remotely as long as I have an internet connection. My biggest concerns are:
-Participating in phone calls/meetings
-Having an efficient, quiet work station
This could potentially be a really cool set-up for me and I don't want to fuck up my first go at it. My plan is do a week in a nearby US city to test the waters, get some feedback on what works for me and my employer, and then hopefully move towards trips abroad in the not-so-distant future.
Location Independent guys with office-style work - any equipment/technology recommendations or general strategies you would suggest for pulling this off?
