Survive and Thrive in Freelance and Remote Work – Poynter

Date: 2021-11

By []

There’s a quick, massive shift in the way we work. According to Global Workplace Analytics estimates, more than half of the U.S. workforce worked remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of those people will continue to do so moving forward, whether as independent freelancers or permanent work-from-home employees. This poses great opportunities and new challenges for individuals working in news media.

How do you keep yourself motivated (or get yourself noticed!) when your boss is never going to walk by your desk? How do you collaborate on deadline when your colleague won’t answer a Slack message? How do you set boundaries between work and home when it all takes place between the same four walls?

In this interactive self-guided course, you’ll identify strategies for structuring your remote workday for success. Find out what to watch out for when working with others remotely and discover the best tools for distance collaboration. And most importantly, practice staying sane despite living and working in the same space.
