About this course
Start with the big picture
Welcome to Remote Work. Working from home is flexible, but it takes habits that nobody teaches you. You will learn how to protect your time and energy, set up a workspace that helps, handle time zones and communicate clearly with a team that you rarely meet in person. Complete the worksheets and you will have a simple system you can use in your first remote apprenticeship.
