For the past several years, remote work seemed to be the holy grail of the 21st-century workforce. The opportunity to work from anywhere in the world provides employees with increased work-life flexibility and broadens the talent pool from which employers can draw. 

​

Unless you’re exceptionally good at setting boundaries, remote work can disrupt your work-life balance and productivity. It can be difficult to draw clear lines between “work” and “life” when they happen in the same place. You might technically be off the clock, but you’ll often be tempted to check just one more email or finish just one more assignment before you turn off to be with your family.

​

If you’re committed to the work-at-home lifestyle, take it seriously. Create the environment you need in order to thrive both in business and in your personal life.
