I borrowed this book thanks to the Kindle Unlimited subscription that I share with my girlfriend, and I read it on my tablet and phone using the Kindle app.

COVID changed how we work—that is a fact. One of the things that came with COVID to stay is the possibility to "telework" or work from home. My company allows me to work in a hybrid model, teleworking two days of my choice from home every week, and honestly, it is a blessing. This is the reason why I picked this book—I wanted to read different perspectives on working from home.

What I found in this book is a thorough explanation of not only what "work from home" is but also how it should be structured to truly benefit everyone—the employee and the employer. I really liked the tons of examples provided by the author, not only in different ways of how to work from home but also in valuable tools to improve it, including a lot of useful applications. Many of these are well-known, but to be honest, I didn’t know a bunch of them.

Meant to be read by regular workers, managers, and team leaders alike, this is a great book on how to improve working life by enhancing the way we work from home.

One of the highlights for me was the section on productivity. The book doesn’t just repeat the usual time-management tips; instead, it offers practical strategies tailored specifically for remote workers. It addresses common struggles such as distractions at home, setting boundaries with coworkers, and finding a rhythm that works best outside of a traditional office setting. The tips are easy to implement, and I found myself taking notes on several techniques to improve my workflow.

The discussion on work-life balance was another standout. Remote work often blurs the line between professional and personal life, and the book provides valuable insights on how to establish boundaries. It covers everything from creating a structured routine to the importance of unplugging after work hours. The advice is realistic and acknowledges that achieving balance isn’t always easy, which made it feel more relatable.

I also appreciated how the book tackled the mental health challenges associated with remote work, such as burnout and loneliness. These are often overlooked in discussions about remote jobs, yet they are very real concerns for many people. The author shares thoughtful strategies on how to stay connected with colleagues, combat isolation, and recognize signs of burnout before it becomes overwhelming. These chapters really resonated with me, as they addressed struggles that I, and many others, have faced in remote work settings.

If I had to point out one downside, it would be that some of the technology recommendations feel a bit outdated. While the book provides useful suggestions for tools and software to enhance remote work, a few of them are either no longer widely used or have been replaced by better alternatives. Additionally, I wish the book had explored the hybrid work model in more detail. As more companies are adopting a mix of remote and in-office work, it would have been helpful to see advice on navigating this setup effectively.

I’ve been working remotely for a while now, and while I’ve figured out some things along the way, I’ve also hit plenty of roadblocks—a blurred work-life balance, and the occasional feeling of isolation. That’s why I picked up The Remote Work Revolution: Thrive in Your Home Office. I wasn’t expecting life-changing revelations, but I was hoping for some useful tips to refine my routine.

The book does a good job of laying out the basics of remote work in a clear and practical way. It covers everything from setting up a dedicated workspace to maintaining productivity and avoiding burnout. I especially found the sections on routine-building and remote communication helpful. The part about tackling isolation really resonated; working from home can be freeing, but it also means missing out on those small, everyday chats that keep you feeling connected. The book suggests some simple but ways to stay engaged with coworkers and avoid feeling cut off.

That said, I wouldn’t say this book is groundbreaking. If you’ve been working remotely for a while, a lot of the advice will feel familiar. It’s more of a refresher than a deep dive into new ideas. The writing style is accessible, and easy to read, but I wasn’t entirely sold on the formatting. Some sections felt a bit too simplified—but that might just be a matter of taste.

Overall, this book is a solid resource for anyone new to remote work or struggling to make it work well for them. The topic itself is sooo important in today’s workplace, where remote and hybrid models are becoming the norm. If you’re looking for a guide that lays out the fundamentals in a straightforward, no-nonsense way, this is worth checking out. Just don’t expect groundbreaking insights if you’ve already been working remotely for a while.

I’m so glad I picked up The Remote Work Revolution: Thrive in Your Home Office! As someone who started their own small business after becoming a parent, with the goal of working from home and spending more time with my child, this book turned out to be exactly what I needed. Even after years of remote work, I found that it offered fresh and practical insights that I could immediately apply to my daily routine. What I really appreciated about the book is its structure—it's organized in a way that makes it super easy to navigate, allowing me to jump straight to the sections that were most relevant to my current needs.

The advice in this book is straightforward and actionable, which made it incredibly helpful for me. Whether it’s setting up an effective home office or boosting productivity, the tips are realistic and tailored to real-world scenarios. It’s not filled with fluff or overly complicated strategies; instead, it provides simple, yet powerful suggestions that make a noticeable difference. I also love that the book emphasizes the unique challenges and opportunities of working from home, especially for people who balance family life and professional responsibilities. It’s clear that the author understands the dynamics of remote work and offers solutions that actually work.

"Remote, Yet in Control" is an absolute game-changer for anyone working from home or managing a remote team. This book goes beyond the usual ""stay organized and avoid distractions"" advice—it's packed with real-life insights, humor, and genuinely practical strategies that make remote work not just manageable but truly enjoyable.

The author does a fantastic job of breaking down everything from setting up a workspace that boosts productivity to mastering time management and leveraging tech tools like a pro. I especially loved the section on work-life balance—it’s refreshing to see a book that acknowledges the challenges of remote work and offers realistic solutions rather than generic advice.

The writing style is engaging and witty, making it an easy and enjoyable read. Whether you're just starting your remote work journey or looking to fine-tune your skills, this book is a must-have. Highly recommended for professionals, freelancers, and even managers navigating the new world of hybrid work! 🚀

I like the positive outlook the author takes here. From the start, the author emphasizes the positive thing about the new way so many of us are doing are work post-COVID. I thought the author gave a good history of how remote work became a necessity and why it remained popular once it didn’t seem so necessary. The author does a great job showing how technology contributed to this shift and how work flexibility helped maintain it. The book isn’t just about the good things, though. The author relates some of the problems that have come from remote work. Out of this came one of my favorite things about the book. With each problem, the author discusses solutions. I really liked the way the author would go into numbered lists with bullet points. That’s such a great way to present and take in this type of information. These are just some of the great things about this short book. Overall, I think this book will be helpful to anyone who is adapting to the new world of remote work, and I highly recommend it.

It seems from the research within that half of all people want to work remotely, once started. I had never thought about the sustainability factor of permanent remote work and the other unseen benefits. Would like to see OKRs explained, asynchronous communication explained earlier, and to focus on one clear target audience. Rather than general case studies, I would like to see more about realities in freelancer’s and employee’s remote worlds - listening to those who have problems and how they solve them.

In books, we don’t want to do a lot of foreshadowing of what is coming in the chapter, so there was a lack of editing here. Choosing the right location and the tips on headphones, lights, plants, etc, was a good section. Tools that companies use for team collaboration are also explained, with some helpful tips. While the author needs to insert more personal voice and anecdotes from life, this ebook gave some basic tips for what to consider.

If you're working remotely or running a small business from home, this book is definitely worth a read. The chapters are short and straight to the point, making it super easy to navigate. You don’t have to read it all at once—you can just jump to the sections that interest you the most.

I personally started working from home after having my daughter because I wanted to spend more time with her while still earning an income. Even though I had already been working remotely for a few years, this book gave me some really helpful tips to make my workspace better and improve my daily routine. It’s crazy how small changes can make such a big difference!

Overall, this book is great for anyone trying to get the most out of remote work—whether you’re a freelancer, business owner, or just someone adjusting to this new way of working.

This book is like having a heart-to-heart with someone who truly understands the ups and downs of remote work. The author breaks things down in such a simple and relatable way that I found myself nodding along to so many points. I especially loved how they tackled work-life balance—it gave me some solid strategies that I’ve already started using!

The mental health aspect was another highlight for me. Remote work can be isolating, and I appreciated the honest discussion about burnout and setting boundaries. On the flip side, the tech section felt a bit behind the times. Some of the tools mentioned aren’t the best options anymore, and I wish there were more examples of how hybrid models actually work in practice.

The writing is clear and easy to understand, and I love that the advice is realistic.

The author doesn’t just throw out generic tips; they offer real, actionable steps that you can implement right away. I’ve already tried a few suggestions, and they’ve made a big difference in my daily routine. If you work from home, whether full-time or occasionally, this book is definitely worth checking out!

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up this book, but it turned out to be exactly what I needed. It’s not just about setting up a home office—it goes much deeper into the emotional and mental aspects of working remotely.

The author does a great job explaining how to stay productive without feeling overwhelmed, how to set clear boundaries between work and personal life, and how to stay connected even when you’re physically apart from colleagues. It’s perfect for anyone who enjoys their own company but still wants to build good relationships at work. Definitely a great read for remote workers!

I thought this was a good read. It really had very comprehensive information about the positive as well as the negative aspects of remote work that need to be considered. This book went over tools that could be used for communication, coworker interaction, meetings, and even project management. It even talked about mental health because of possibly feeling isolated and so much more. I definitely recommend reading this book if you are considering working remotely.
