Online Resources for the Location-Independent Professional
http://webworkerdaily.com/2009/07/01/how-i-beat-the-remote-working-blues/
In a recent post over at Web Worker Daily, Georgina posted about the remote worker blues. She writes about home-based telecommuting, but the idea translates to most web-based work–sometimes, extreme telecommuting is downright lonely. There are days when you’re alone in your hostel or temporary apartment, all of the other travelers are out exploring the local attractions, and the silence is deafening.
Sound familiar? Instead of sobbing into your laptop or pestering colleagues with pointless instant messages, take a break from work to discover the fantastic online community of digital nomads. If you’re an extreme-telecommuter-to-be, head to these sites for inspiration, motivation, and great ideas.
