I went to Czech Republic and after installing wi-fi in my apartment I was good to go! I tell you that nothing beats making money in the sunshine drinking beverage of choice while it’s raining cats and dogs back home – not to mention that I managed to get a lot more done, and i mean a lot more! The distraction level was really low and really felt motivation kick – not to mention that pound/dollar goes there much further than in UK/US respectively.

I will update this post soon with some ground rules of remote working and how to convince your boss (if you have one) that granting you permission to go away is just the best decision he/she can make.

I also applied a lot of 80/20 theory (Pareto’s principle) in last few months and it’s all comming to fruition now – stay tuned!

Tom
