Sunday thoughts:
"Working in a cafe is still working. Whether you're in a Starbucks in Swindon or a beach bar in Bali."
What a news 😂
Anyone who knows me knows I'm a fan of office work, as opposed to remote.
But digital nomadism is on another level of remote.
And it will inevitably wind down.
It's sold as a dream by social media remote "performers", whose real lives and struggles are seldom disclosed.
But the reality is that it just doesn't work for the vast majority of people.
We all crave for connections.
With a place, with people, with a community. With a job?
This is especially true in our careers.
Personal connections are, like, 90% of professional success.
Prove me wrong!
Office colleagues for employees,
or local groups from university, startup accelerators, co-working mates for self-employed.
Every one of these connections needs time to be built and maintained.
You need to "consistently show up".
Something digital nomads definitely don't do.
That's why it should be treated as a rare exception.
Not a dream to be sold to everyone.
Tell me how I'm wrong.
