But it truly feels like we've turned a corner.</h2>\n\n<p>In a day or so, I\u2019ll have spent two weeks living the life of a fully-vaccinated member of society. While it\u2019s not true to say my risk of catching Covid-19 is now non-existent, the facts are there\u2019s <em>statistically low risk</em>\u2014and even if I did somehow catch the bug and begin showing symptoms, they\u2019d likely be mild.</p>\n\n<p>So that, combined with the CDC here in America basically opening everything up for the \u201cmaxinated\u201d populace, combined with summer fast approaching, I have embarked on a series of changes to how I do business. Spending 10-hour days in a corner of my bedroom week after week just ain\u2019t gonna fly.</p>\n\n<h3>Change #1: WABH (Work-Anywhere-But-Home) Fridays</h3>\n\n<p>The first thing I did was create a recurring schedule on my calendar so that every Friday, I won\u2019t work from home. While most coffee shops in and around Portland haven\u2019t yet switched back to indoor seating, there are increasingly plenty of places you can find to settle with laptop in tow\u2014especially when the weather outside is quite nice as it usually is now.</p>\n\n<p>Simply having this on my calendar reminds me to make the effort to get up from my home office chair and <strong>go do something</strong>.  There\u2019s still a touch of low-grade social anxiety and general nervousness of engaging in \u201cdigital nomadism\u201d, so it\u2019s helpful to have that persistent nudge of the calendar\u2026otherwise the old routine of slouching at my desk drinking orange juice and wearing PJs is just too tempting.</p>\n\n<h3>Change #2: Looks Like Coworking\u2019s Back on the Menu, Boys!</h3>\n\n<p>Building upon WABH Fridays, I have purchased a membership at a coworking space. WUT \ud83d\ude31</p>\n\n<p>Yes indeed, after 14 months of working full-time in a corner of my bedroom, it was finally time to venture forth and rekindle my love of honest-to-goodness office space for remote workers.</p>\n\n<p>Before the pandemic hit, I was <em>never</em> a proponent of working from \u201chome\u201d per se. I was rather a major proponent of <strong>remote work</strong>. Those two are not synonymous! I think it\u2019s crucial that people have a place they <em>go</em> to work. There are challenges which stem from having a creative workspace be a 10-second bathrobe-and-slippers shuffle away from where you sleep, watch TV, have sex, clip toenails, and whatever things people do in homes. Now I\u2019m not throwing shade at WFH. <strong>Obviously we\u2019ve all found ways to make this work!</strong> And compared with a long commute to corporate HQ and dealing with the horrors of open-office-planning run amok, it does come with some real upsides. (Quite honestly I\u2019m flabbergasted at the number of companies <a href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-01/return-to-office-employees-are-quitting-instead-of-giving-up-work-from-home\">ready to jump back into butts-in-chairs office attendance</a> when WFH culture has <em>proven itself</em> to be <strong>remarkably productive</strong>!)</p>\n\n<p><em>Nevertheless</em>, if you can find coworking spaces or digital nomad-friendly environments only a short walk/bike/scooter/drive away from where you live, that is truly ideal. Because when it\u2019s time to go to work, you can actually <em>go there</em> (instead of <em>staying here</em>). Simply the act of changing scenes and interacting with humans beyond your immediate pod wakes up your brain and helps you recharge and focus. And for those of us who are self-employed, it can really help make our businesses feel legit.</p>\n\n<h3>Change #3: Living the Nomad Dream Once Again</h3>\n\n<p>Even with everything opening up again, family and financial obligations prevent me from just packing a suitcase, buying a van, and hitting the road for good. (And, to be honest, I\u2019m not sure that\u2019s a lifestyle I want!)</p>\n\n<p>However, I absolutely believe that a life well-lived has travel fully integrated into it. Regular working vacations\u2014at least once a month\u2014was something I was starting to bake into my route right before Covid-19 put the kibosh on it. In particular, you can drive from Portland to Seattle in about three hours, and I\u2019ve only scratched the surface of the entire Puget Sound area.</p>\n\n<p>So\u2026now that I\u2019ve purchased a coworking membership at <a href=\"https://www.spacesworks.com/\">SPACES</a> (the place I mentioned above), not only do I have a place to go to work here in Portland but I can also travel to Seattle or <em>hundreds of cities around the globe</em> in the coming months as international travel picks up.</p>\n\n<p><em>Can\u2019t you just work at your hotel when on the road?</em> you may ask. And trust me, I\u2019ve asked that question myself. But remember what I said above? Your creative workspace should feel separate from the place where you plop down at the end of a long day and drink a glass of Pinot.</p>\n\n<p>Thus a couple-hundred bucks a month for a passport to digital nomadism in some of the most stunning locations on earth sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.</p>\n\n<p>(<strong>Quick aside</strong>: when I first heard of WeWork years ago, I naturally assumed that\u2019s exactly what it was. You\u2019d buy a membership and then freely work at any of their locations\u2014like a gym but for remote work. However, that\u2019s not actually what they were doing! Only in the past year did WeWork start offering plans suitable for travelers, and even so it\u2019s still more expensive <em>and</em> more limited than SPACES\u2019 offering. Also the guy who started\u2014and nearly ruined\u2014WeWork is a massive asshat. So boo.)</p>\n\n<p>I realize new travel and coworking expenses aren\u2019t going to be feasible for everyone. And let\u2019s be honest: digital nomadism always carried with it a tinge of techno-utopian privilege. Still, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s unreasonable to want to spend a few days here and there working beyond the confines of one\u2019s own place of residence. If we\u2019re fortunate enough to be able to do work that can be done anywhere with WiFi, why not take advantage of that ability?</p>\n\n<h3>One Step at a Time</h3>\n\n<p>I\u2019m excited about the future possibilities which await us remote workers now that the science and the evidence shows us we can beat this virus. Sure, we\u2019re not entirely out of the woods yet, and I\u2019m prepared for the reality there may be some degree of lockdown measures in store down the road (perhaps a new variant will temporarily outstrip vaccine progress). But it truly feels like we\u2019ve turned a corner\u2014in the U.S. at least\u2014and I greatly appreciate being able to plop down in a chair with a laptop, sip on a latte, and bang out some code\u2014all while <em>not</em> staring at the four walls of my humble abode.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Feels amazing.</strong></p>\n\n\n\n  <br /><p>\n    \n      <a href=\"https://jaredwhite.com/tag/remotework\">#remotework</a>\n    \n      <a href=\"https://jaredwhite.com/tag/creativity\">#creativity</a>\n    \n      <a href=\"https://jaredwhite.com/tag/freelancing\">#freelancing</a>\n    \n  </p>",
