Ignite: Effective Remote Workers
summary
Claim: most remote workers burn out after about five years unless routines and visibility replace office serendipity. Recommends a morning routine and a dedicated workspace, logging in with a greeting, using text tools carefully and preferring video plus headset and mute for meetings, and keeping a backup headset. Build a water-cooler Slack channel, use headshot icons so names get faces, report progress in stand-ups or concise email updates, take breaks, and visit the home office occasionally.
