An employee who works outside the office will face numerous difficulties: how to organize your working day and workplace, how to make up for the lack of communication with colleagues, how to complete the task on time, and much more. Our selection of books for remote workers can help you find solutions to these problems.
You have to work not for 12 hours, but with your head.
This book is not only about telecommuting, but also about time management, personal efficiency, and work-life balance. You will learn how to create an optimal work schedule that will help you work at the highest productivity, learn how to define a “daily work rate” and make a to-do list, not for a year, but for a specific day.
You are probably familiar with the authors of this book. These are the people who founded the world famous 37signals company. IT pros also know David Heinemeier Hensson as the creator of the Ruby on Rails framework.
The book "Rework: Business Without Prejudice" will be useful for managers of companies with remote employees, ordinary teleworkers and those who are tired of the daily office slavery from 8:00 to 17:00. This is really a book about another job, from which you will learn how to make plans and set strategic goals, how to work from home much more efficiently than in the office, how to unlearn to imitate top companies and at the same time become number one in your field.
Deadline is a scary word for any employee. But when you work remotely and organize your working day yourself, the problem of completing the task on time becomes even more urgent. Deadline. A Project Management Novel is a real work management textbook written in the form of a science fiction novel. The book is not only useful and easy to read, but also very addictive.
In fact, being alone with your thoughts is one of the main benefits of working remotely. Working on your own, away from the buzzing office swarm, you stay in your zone of maximum efficiency. And you really achieve the result, the very one that you vainly expected from yourself at work!
This book is a treasure trove for a remote worker. You will learn about various services that will help you stay in touch with your colleagues and get in-house information without interruption. How to organize your personal work space and time in order to consistently and on time to complete all work tasks. This book will also be useful for managers who are considering whether to allow employees to work remotely: they will learn about ways to track the amount of work that each team member performs.
Five years ago, they said that the rapid development of digital technologies has changed our lives. Today we can say that the rapid development of digital technologies is changing our lives every minute. You should always keep your finger on the pulse, because the fact that today is just an idea and an unknown startup can become a worldwide trend in a week.
Anyone whose work or hobbies are connected with "digital" should read this book. At least just to understand where you are going and what to expect in the future.
When you work away from the office, self-organization is one of the most pressing issues. And if you are also a creative person who is susceptible to various creative crises, and your muse often has unplanned time off, self-organization is completely limped.
Designer, artist and blogger Jana Frank in her book will tell you how to rein in your muse and yourself with her at the same time.
As a child, I heard a lot about the fact that an artist is a messy person. This is his nature: he sleeps during the day, works at night, ruins his health, burning for the sake of the Great. He is attracted exclusively by "spiritual values"; it is beneath his dignity to be interested in such philistine nonsense as cleanliness, order and money.

If you are tired of monotonous office work, want to become your own boss and assemble a talented team of specialists around the world, then this book is for you.
Mike Mikalowitz's creation is filled not only with motivating manifestos in the “you can do it” style, but also with concrete guidelines for action.
Let's imagine that the lifestyle of the office plankton has long been sick of you, but you still can't make up your mind to become a freelancer or a remote employee. How to get rid of doubts and let your dream come true? Look for answers in the book by Richard Branson.
Many - if not the majority - constantly live with an eye on those around them. Most of all, it is important for them what parents, relatives, colleagues, bosses, society think. They strive for stability, to never make mistakes, not to be a target for ridicule. Life passes, and the once desired stability turns into a routine, from which you no longer want to live! As if there are people who always and immediately get everything right. As if in a world ruled by the law of entropy, some kind of stability is possible at all!
Richard Branson
When working from home, it's hard to ignore the distractions: your favorite sofa that beckons so much; on social networks that seduce with unread news; at the neighbors through the wall, who so in time decided to dump all the reproaches of the world to each other, or at the pet who drags a leash in his teeth and says with a glance: “Master, what a job in the summer, let's go for a walk!”.
After reading the book by Peter Bregman, you will learn to focus on what really matters, you will cease to be the first on the list of the best procrastinators on the planet, and if you have not yet found your life's work, then these tips will tell you the direction in which to move.
In the book, you will find eight stories of Best Buy employees who work on the ROWE system (a system in which work is focused on results). After reading the book, you will understand how the business model has changed and what working conditions will be optimal for it. You will reconsider the role of meetings in your work and learn what the rules of the "game of business" are now.
