My personal stats: I’m 99% more likely to get everything complete on my work to-do list if I have the flexibility to work from home or from wherever. I do occasionally miss former work besties, but we can always catch up over lunch!

Here are a few of my favorite benefits of remote work:

1. I’m present for my family. I love that I can help my kids with virtual assignments if they are schooling from home.
2. I can throw in a load of laundry or prep for dinner in between Zoom calls.
3. I can wear comfy clothes while I plug away at whatever project is a priority for the week.
