Welcome to Going Remote
I’ve been working remotely for years now, and I’ve learned something important: the difference between struggling through your workday and actually enjoying remote work often comes down to having the right tools.
That’s why I started this blog.
Why I’m Doing This
Like most remote workers, I’ve been down the rabbit hole of trying to find the perfect project management app, the cleanest note-taking tool, or a time tracker that doesn’t feel like corporate surveillance. I’ve signed up for countless free trials, switched tools more times than I’d like to admit, and learned plenty of lessons the hard way.
Going Remote is my way of sharing what I’ve learned. If I can save you even a few hours of researching and testing tools, or help you discover something that genuinely makes your work life better, then this blog is doing its job.
What You’ll Find Here
This is a personal blog focused on practical tool recommendations and tips for remote work. I’m not trying to be the next big tech publication, I’m just someone who works remotely and wants to share honest recommendations.
You can expect:
Tool reviews based on my actual experience using them. Comparisons when you’re trying to choose between similar options. Tips and workflows that I’ve found helpful in my own remote work. And honest takes on what’s worth your time and money (and what isn’t).
Who This Is For
If you work remotely, whether you’re freelancing, working for a company, or building your own thing, then you’re in the right place. I write for people who want straightforward advice without corporate jargon or sales pitches.
I know what it’s like to be on a budget, to need tools that actually work, and to not have time to waste on complicated software that promises everything but delivers nothing.
My Approach
I’m not here to recommend every new tool that launches with venture capital funding and a flashy website. I test things myself, I consider whether they’re actually worth the price, and I only recommend tools I’d genuinely use (or do use) in my own work.
When I write about something, it’s because I think it might help you—not because someone paid me to say nice things about it.
Let’s Connect
Remote work looks different for everyone, and I don’t pretend to have all the answers. If you’ve found a tool that changed your workflow, or if you think I’ve gotten something wrong, I’d love to hear from you.
This blog works best as a conversation, not a lecture.
What’s Next
I’m building out a collection of tool reviews and remote work tips that I hope you’ll find useful. Whether you’re just starting out with remote work or you’ve been doing it for years, my goal is to help you find tools and approaches that make your work better.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find something helpful here.
