I've been working from home for almost 2 years now. The three things that keep me sane are GREAT coffee, podcasts and music. Working from home is the best thing that ever happened to me as I am now able to drive my pregnant wife to and from work. From time to time I also go out to work in a coworking space or coffee shop. Once you go freelance, you will never go corporate again. At least that's true for me.

Thank you for the tips! Being close to a kitchen is definitely an advantage of working from home. I start my morning, rain or shine, with a walk. I sit down to the computer only after that. I've been working from home for about seven years, and I consider this part of my daily routine as probably the sanest.

Excellent video!
I travel around the country as a work camper but took 3 months off for vacation last year. I took that time learning and prepping my mind and body to become self reliant as well. I will be taking off eork for a month during April again this year and will definitely incorporate going outside amen!

Great video Josh, I work from home every day as does Jib. we utilize a lot of the same tricks. I also use a task board with postits, very much in the agile style from my tech days. I've used trello, but I'm just not a fan, i much prefer to use the board, something about actually moving the postit is nice.

I also get stuck in that hermit mode. I've probably gone a week without leaving my place when I have not meetings or travel planed. I ended up having to delete my food delivery app to force myself to go out and get food at least once per day so I get out of the house.

I'll be starting to look for a telecommuting position soon. I like a few hours of work time alone, but 8 hours can be tough day after day. I'm not good at self motivation unless people are around me, but not more than a few hours, then they just suck my energy. It's a challenge working alone, but brings a lot of personal growth with it.

Any tips or videos on how to get started working from home?

What jobs can or services can you do for people, I really want to have my own set schedule but I do not know where to start. I am tired of working in a job I do not like

Hi, Josh! My husband and I work from home as a proofreader and VA. I’ve been doing this three years full time and my husband just completed one year.

It’s amazing to be able to choose where and who you get to work with! Congrats to you!

Just a heads-up, though: Have you heard of the AB5 law in Cali? It’s a law that’s intended to fix worker misclassification but it’s causing hundreds of freelancers and independent contractors to lose their clients and income.

The scary part is that Oregon is considering a similar law.

As one freelancer to another, I just wanted to give you a heads-up. I’ve worked hard to build my business and keep my clients happy. I don’t want to lose that.

Check out Freelancers Against AB5 on Facebook. They have a lot of info and personal stories on how this affected them.

Awesome content as always!
