No Office

Working remotely has become the norm for many startups, including mine. Without an official office, my team and I work from home, only meeting clients occasionally. While this setup might lead some to feel isolated, especially extroverts who thrive on social interaction, I find comfort and productivity in the solitude.

Being an introvert, I’ve adapted well to this lifestyle.

My daily routine is structured:

morning exercise,
a cold shower,
and a cup of coffee set the tone for a productive day.

Schedule

I maintain a consistent work schedule, starting at 9 AM and breaking for lunch at noon, with work resuming in the early afternoon. While I usually wrap up by 5:30 PM, tight deadlines sometimes push me to work late into the night.

Escape Getaway

Despite the potential loneliness, I’ve found ways to stay connected. Online gaming with friends worldwide offers a fun escape and an opportunity to learn new languages. These virtual interactions brighten my day, making the long hours of work more manageable.

Benefits

Working from home also allows me to manage household tasks like cooking and cleaning, adding balance to my day. Occasionally, I venture out to work in cafes or libraries, training myself to adapt to different environments. After all, while I enjoy the comfort of home, I know it’s important not to become too isolated.

Personality match

For extroverts, the remote work lifestyle can be challenging. The lack of social interaction and outdoor activities can feel stifling. But for those like me, who find peace in solitude, it’s a perfect match. Remote work offers the freedom to create a work-life balance that suits our individual needs.
