A video recap of my webinar focused on remote work with kids

Watch my short recording (under 15 minutes) where I recap the three key things I covered during my webinar for PARO Centre For Women’s Enterprise about doing remote work with kids.

Whether you’re a freelancer, employee or employer:

• Kids can be unpredictable;
• pandemic restrictions are ever changing;
• software will crash;
• WiFi connections will fail; and
• last-minute work requests before you log off for the day may happen.

When I started freelancing over a decade ago, I didn’t know what ‘remote work’ was.

Then when I started ‘remote working’ in 2014, I didn’t have kids but also didn’t know anyone else doing it.

In fact, I was the only Canadian ‘remote worker’ in my small Irish village that I knew of. The locals told me so. 🍀 😂

Anywhoooo, I had a lot of time on my hands back then.

And I’m so glad I used it (in between walking everywhere with my laptop bag) to test, change and adapt my remote workflow.

Because by the time I had kids, I had figured out what works well for me.

And a few years on, it still helps me daily.

But when in doubt, my body (or kids) will usually let me know when it’s time to switch it up and try something different.

I presented a webinar last week focused on doing remote work with kids and wanted to share a recap of the three techniques I covered.

All free, no fancy tech, tools or paid software required, but you can integrate those if you want to.

When I started out as a freelance remote worker, I was using what I had (the same 2012 Mac laptop I still use), free Asana, Trello and Google tools, and design software I had previously installed to do project-based marketing communications work.

I even made my own standing desk in our rental unit’s kitchen using the counter and a few shoe boxes. Simple but effective.

Watch the video, let me know what you think, give it a go and test these things out over the coming week, see if they make a difference for you!
