Hmmm, an island would be nice. How big are we going here?
Great post and a huge congrats to Troy! Really enjoyed the story of transformation.
I didn't have the commute problem, that was only 10 minutes, but going to work for a company with no creativity, with no trust and respect nearly broke me.
Having just started to work for myself, the signs are good, clients on board within 3 weeks and I am starting to feel me again!
That feels bloody marvellous!
Jon :-)
"4 steps to a better relationship - a few years ago, my girlfriend and I were constantly arguing, now we're about to spend a month together in Hawaii. How did I do it? Read on to find out..."
My favourite part of your post Troy was the imagery of sitting and doing work on the lawn of the Getty Museum... very cool indeed.
One of the coolest things I've found with working while travelling or working from home or cafe is that not only do you save time (commuting, ironing shirts etc), it is easier to tap into your creativity and I nearly always save money. Especially if working abroad. $3.50 accommodation & 80c pad thai in Thailand, $1 beef noodle soup in Hanoi... I can't even buy a coffee for that at home.
Stay a few weeks and you 'save' the equivalent of your airfare and then some.
Beats flourescent-lit cubicle hell anyday :)
Concerning prizes for your next ridiculously overambitious competition I always prefer experiences rather than physical goods. Travels and meeting with interesting people while we experience adventures. That's what I call PRIZE! Prize that you will always remember.
My proposal?
First Prize: Imagine a full paid raid in 4x4 riding the forests and beaches of wild Costa Rica, but with a small group of entrepreneurs and interesting people to enjoy even more the trip and make it more a learning experience.
Best regards from Spain!
Mr. Micah drives me there, so we have a quick morning time together in the car (keeps me from being stressed, mostly). Then I read on the metro (reimagine it as my personal reading time, where I don't have any other responsibilities). Then the walk is part of my goal of getting x many minutes of walking per day.
Reimagining it makes it a lot easier. Plus the whole not driving part means not dealing with insane traffic and means I can read.
Or if the contest is really hard, then 7 day's activities with that famous author - one on each continent?
Grand prize... A year of my current bills to be paid to pursue my grand business ideas and a 7 continent traveling internship with a famous author.
How about that, plus seven continents, plus a pony?
We live in a big city and could have had a less expensive house in the suburbs. This would have meant buying a second car (car payments, insurance, maintenance) as well as making long days for both my husband and myself resulting in an unsatisfying family life for us and the two kids.
We opted to rent a much more expensive apartment about 100 yards from a subway stop and 2 miles from my husband's office. His commute is about 15 minutes by bike which he rides 8 months of the year. The children's school is just across the street. We hardly drive the car anymore (which is good seeing as gas is now $5/gallon).
Yes, we could have had the big house with the yard and garden but we never would have enjoyed it because we would have been commuting all the time!
On the prize idea – I would agree with the other comments above: Spending time with the creator of this vision would be time well spent, on another continent would be a great bonus!
I am anxious to hear about this competition. Prizes...well the above suggestions are great. I especially like the 7 continent trip with Tim.
While I'm already doing the tablet PC thing (Tim, you know how great they are). Giving away hosting, adspace on the web, a great tablet laptop, an iphone, contacts with a fulfillment center (maybe even a percentage off?), and a paid virtual assistant for a year. That would really be following what you're talking about, wouldn't cost too much (as a prize), but would truly put someone far along the way to that elusive 4 hours with all the tools to make it happen.
Thanks so very much for clarifying what I've been trying to do for so long.
-Fred Schechter H.B.
As for a prize, how about working with the winner to actually carry out the idea/whatever it is and help see that the world is actually changed by it.
And of course a seven continent trip would be awesome as well. Of course, we could one up that one and throw a sub-orbital flight into the mix.
Game on!
We Love Your Book! Thanks for everything.
I've never really had to deal with commuting, but I do
love how breaking your life down and quantifying your
time, and relative income to truly live your dream lifestyle Now...
Is Life Changing To Say The Least!
As far as a prize is concerned?...
You said you're looking for competition that's "ridiculously overambitious" and will "change the world" so I think the prize should be worth it too.
I'm with several others here in that some personal time
with yourself would be amazing. Quiza en Buenos Aires? Quien sabe, pues veremos...
-Travis Tolman
A difference of 10 minutes in your one-way commute time = two additional 40-hour work weeks spend in 'job-related' activity.
10 min x 2 (there and back) x 5 days a week x 50 weeks / year (assuming the usual 2 week vacation) = 83 HOURS of time devoted uselessly to your job.
now onto this ridiculously abitious contest...i am really excited about this! prizes: honestly at the top of my list would be a dinner/lunch or even brunch (best food of the day) with yourself! OR (and this is pretty darn ridiculous to even bring up) weekly 30-min. phone conversations for the winner for 6 months-1 year. (pretty crazy thought) with 2 face-to-face meetings thrown in. i figure the winner is a pretty ambitious and fun person who will do well and accomplish some fantastic things with this type of prize.
A 3rd prize idea - and this is pretty cool - full funding for the winner's dream to become a reality. In other words, the winner does all the legwork ASIDE from financial dealings.
There ya go! :0)
PRIZES! Bachelorium's idea gets my second! Also some telephone consulting would be hugely valued.
Victor
I can't wait to hear what the contest is!!!
Tim, a nice prize for your contest might be some sort of muse mentorship--help and guidance in moving from concept (or pre-concept paralysis and option overload) to automated income generator.
But maybe what you're after is a reward more in keeping with the nature of the challenge. In which case--any hints as to what may be involved? Looking forward to hearing more about this.
So, 1.5 days of travel per week x 50 weeks = 70 plus days that I COULD have spent on ____ vacation, work, sleep...whatever.
Tim, when do you plan to post details on the competition?
Ernst
P.S. Tim thanks again for the great party at Dolce in SF. It was great to meet you and your friends.
Bill Ayers
Thanks for the great observations and suggestions. The contest details will be coming between now and the first week of October. Hope to have more soon ;)
Pura vida,
Tim
Thanks for the post. My work commute has been the bain of my existance for the last four years. At a previous company I commuted from Boston to Providence every day and returned back at night. These days with a daycare drop off situation, my commute falls during rush hour and is often 1.5 hours or more each way several days a week. My Mustang is also not the most fuel efficient mobile around. I have been listening to your 4HWW CDs and am reconsidering some entrepreneurial ideas - - at the very least to stop wasting gas (and time).
Thanks Tim!
-Wildman
And his commute, like most of the other employees, is 1.5 hours one-way! Clearly there's no mathematician in the company.
Thankfully, I'm hiring him this month for my muse and then his commute will be about 20 feet, from the bedroom to the study.
What I should have done is what I started to do this summer: work on solo projects that have income earning potential. Even if they made no money, it would have been a much better experience without the hassle associated with such a long commute. Oh well, I've since learned my lesson about opportunity cost.
You know this is the first time you mention "relationships" or "girlfriends" on the blog, and in this case it's Troy who is doing the mentioning (if I'm reading it correctly). I've implemented 4HWW and have never been happier. I run my company from SF, NYC, Cape Cod, and wherever else I find a cheap room and internet connection. Issue is I have a girlfriend in Oakland (what's with the girlfriends in Oakland for 4HWW'ers?), and she's tied to her job. I travel, she can't. My question: is the 4HWW life incompatible with the idea of long-term life companionship? Have you been able to hack this? Seems like it would take a very, very special significant other to also execute along the 4HWW lines and embrace your new life with you. Do these women exist?
Thanks for the book -- changed my life.
Drew

Hi Drew!
Good question. 4HWW and long-term relationships are compatible, but relationships in general are about compromise. Travel is just one potential piece of 4HWW, and it might well be that you need to hold-off on too many round-the-world trips for a period or enable/convince your girlfriend to make some of the changes you have.
In the end, the 4HWW creates time, and how you use it is up to you. It actually has the potential to save most relationships that are in danger of being lost, I believe.
Hope that helps!
Tim
I noted recently that it was more pleasant in the mosh pit of a Beastie Boys gig than in the rush hour on the London Underground; at the gig it was just as much a squeeze but at least we were all smiling.
On the underground the following morning it was just me smiling. Smiling that I don't have to go through that hell everyday living in a perpetual state of stress and exhaustion.
How about a box of your finest homemade truffles as a prize? That would be fun.
- meeting with Tim/initial consultation
- 1 month follow-up, 3 month, & one year (or some type of schedule)
- 1 year virtual assitant
- plus other related services
- might as well throw in a laptop
Cash is always good, even if its in the form of gift certificates for travel..
maybe a travel with yourself, to learn new things.
I need to think...im at work and therefore drained..
I do have one criticism though, I have found the 4HWW to be geared toward people who live in a typical American city and follow a traditional life path of college, full-time job, family, house with mortgage and then retirement. I grew up in a small town in Hawaii where most people that I know do not follow a traditional life path. Hawaii and probably most of Polynesia is unique in that as a culture, work is not the primary focus of one’s day. Enjoyment, relaxation, relationships with family and friends are often more highly regarded than work. However, most people often make just enough to get by, never enough for travel or other pursuits. The 4HWW lifestyle is definitely for people who are ambitious and daring enough to make their dreams reality.
The challenge for most people I know is figuring out how to create the income to afford to do what one truly loves. For me, its dancing, primarily Argentine Tango. Buenos Aires…I will return! Presently, almost every moment of my day is filled between regular job (saving money to start my freelance business), building my freelance business and practicing tango. The goal is more time and more money…thanks to your tips I know I can make it a reality.
In regard to the prize for your next contest, you should let the winner decide what they would like to win (with a few limitations of course). Whomever wins the contest will probably know best what prize would be most appropriate.
P.S. For Drew, 4HWW-minded women do exist!
I originally created it for myself because I was tired of 1) trying to remember what to pack every time I had to go somewhere; and 2) finding out far from home that I had left something important behind. It took me several years and several dozen countries of trial and error and 4HWW lifestyle redesign to compile this list. I hope others find it beneficial.
This list is not recommended for anyone looking to “get away from it all.� Rather, the opposite. I recommend it for anyone looking to get away from it all and still have “it all� with them, particularly for managing your muse during long-term travel. Where I loosely define long-term travel as anything requiring one to remain mobile or relocated for at least one month.
The objective is simple: To achieve *sustainable*, long-term (even permanent) relocation and mobility.
If you’ve grown bored of your home office in Piscataway and want to rent a loft with a view of the Seine for 9 months; a cottage in Inverness for a year; a stilted hut in the Maldives for a month; a chalet in Courchevel to ski all winter; then this list is for you.
I realize that having a lot of stuff is anathema to most purist’s ideas about independent travel, but when one’s roller bag is really one’s home, office, and travelling companion rolled up into one, you’ll be liberated by this whole new level of mobility.
As long as you have mental pressure in the back of your mind that “I’ll do that when I get back to the office� you’ll never experience true freedom. One of the keys to “mobility� is mental detachment. In a recent long-term trip, I had left my expense receipts (to have a client reimburse) in my home office; if I had brought them along (or better, done them before leaving; or even better; delegated the task) I would have experienced truer mental mobility.
Believe it or not, everything mentioned in this list fits into 1 cabin-sized roller bag. I recommend the 20 inch Tumi black leather roller bag (model no. 92000). Virtually indestructible, purpose-built for business, and light. For European travel, do not buy anything over 20 inches. You are welcome to bring a laptop bag as well provided that it is small enough to be allowed in the cabin with the roller bag but I just carry my laptop in my main bag.
I realize that a roller bag does not bring with it the romance and gravitas of a backpack, but after years of attempting to whisk internal or external framed backpacks undetected past “check-in�, I realized that the key to anonymity is the roller bag. When mobile, simplicity means reducing the possibility of exigency by keeping everything within arm’s reach of oneself. Nothing sucks the joy out of travel more than a lost bag.
Once you get the hang of it, and most things are already in a designated “travel closet,� it should take you roughly 2 hours to pack for 1 to 12 months of continuous travel. Copy and paste (removing the parenthetic commentary) to your pda and build off this to create your own list over the years.
Would love to hear other people’s suggestions. Safe journeys:
AT COMPUTER AND PHONE BEFORE TRAVELLING
book taxi to airport
chk credit card and bank balances (liquidity is key)
perform one 4HWW/GTD “weekly review� (for this, read “Four Hour Workweek� and “Getting Things Done� in tandem: use 4HWW for “effectiveness� strategies and GTD for “efficiency� strategies, letting 4HWW trump GTD where there are related recommendations)
put presentations in usb
give any friends, family, and employees itinerary & numbers (very selectively)
email hosts/hotel and friends to meet at destination
autoresponder (this should be up and running anyway)
reconfirm flight
put reconfirmation reminders for future flights in pda
input contact info at destination in palm
hotel booking
inform neighbors
ON PERSON
credit cards (visa and amex)
atm card
valid passport (obviously)
valid visa (not so obvious)
check passport expiry (for multi-country travel, most airlines require at least 6 months validity; not at all obvious)
check visa expiry
valid ticket
cash (don’t carry an external money bag; too easy a target; keep everything in an internal waistbelt or a leg belt that straps above the ankle assuming you wear pants when travelling)
foreign currency
driver's license
tissue
glasses (make a note of prescription numbers in your pda in case they break)
extra business cards
watch
pda (for true disconnectedness, I recommend the Palm Z22, one of the last few available without a mobile)
earplugs
eyecovers
all purpose shoes (nice black leather sandals I’ve found can be used both formally and informally; take only the shoes on your feet; extra shoes take too much space)
CLOTHES AND OUTDOORS
7 microfiber (or equally lightweight polyester) pants
7 microfiber (or equally lightweight polyester) full-sleeve, collared shirts
(For pants and shirts, 7 seems like a high number, but after years of trying to shave a few ounces in travel weight only to find myself waiting for laundered clothes every couple of days, 7 is the sweet spot; full-sleeve and collared shirts double for semi-formal occasions (available at EMS, Columbia or any decent camping store); carry at least two white and one dark shirts)
7 socks (thin business socks take the least space)
7 boxers (lightweight polyester unless you must have cotton)
7 t-shirts (for sleeping and casual use)
swimming shorts
lightweight cloth sheet for sitting/sleeping/picnicking
For cold weather destinations (just about everywhere in winter; don’t underestimate deserts even in the summer):
2 sweaters (get only lambswool; very warm, light and packs small; Benetton and Brooks Brothers make durable ones)
lightweight shell jacket with lots of pockets (do not get thick Gore Tex jackets unless you expect to trek; these don’t fold well; a simple dark colored, windbreaker works very well as both a rain jacket and a cold weather shell when layered with sweaters; wear this when travelling to save on packing space and get additional carrying capacity (translation: free weight allowance))
warm wool skull hat
TOILETRIES
deodorant
toothbrush
toothpaste (travel size)
sewing kit
blades
razor
shaving cream (travel size)
small foldable scissor (be prepared to give away at check-in)
soap (travel size)
cologne (very small bottle)
GADGETS AND MISC
global folder (this contains any paperwork that you think you might need: power of attorneys, birth certificates, bank statements, photocopies, etc; keep scans in your laptop; how often one needs to email a passport copy, etc. Surprisingly, I reduced my oh-so-important 24 inch filing cabinet down to 1 inch)
laptop (the wafer thin 11 inch Sony Vaio TX-series is excellent; light enough for travel; large enough for work)
projector (for people who need to make presentations the Toshiba tdp-ff1 is the ultimate road warrior; tiny, light, and effective)
voip headset (without head band for compactness; this should double for mp3 player)
a good book (the first thing I’m bound to leave behind to “be light� and the one thing I miss the most; “Arabian Sands� by Wilfred Thesiger is the ultimate travel book; in addition to light reading, as a Muslim I also bring the Quran. Bring something that keeps you spiritually connected for those contemplative moments that only high-quality travel affords)
2 pens (Mitsubishi Uniball Eye is excellent for waterproof/fadeproof use)
2 pencils
sharpener
30 sheets of white paper
checkbooks
laptop power cable
laptop extra battery
Tumi international adaptor set
internet cable
pda cable (charge off the laptop to avoid having to bring a separate charger cable)
house keys
mp3 player
usb
recorder (I keep a tiny Olympus ws-200s digital recorder for those many times that I want to record something; a talk; an ode; a bird; my kids; I recommend getting a recorder that uses aaa batteries rather than usb charging)
aaa batteries
alarm clocks (nothing kills dreams like an alarm clock as they say, but sometimes you’ll be happy something is there to wake you up for your next flight on that 6 hour layover in Changi Airport; pda alarms are weak and I keep my mobile perpetually off)
post-its (don’t ask; I just can’t live without them; if I’m going to create an “office space� in an apartment in tuscany for a month, there’s nothing like a post-it note to make you feel “centered�; clearly a leftover corporate fetish)
binder clips/paper clips/rubber bands (for the truly “officeless� geek)
Blackberry (kept off; if you can’t keep it off, don’t bring it; used *only* when Internet is not available; all reminder tones should be disabled),
Blackberry charger (charge off the laptop to avoid having to bring a separate charger cable)
can opener
child’s fork/knife/spoon (usually allowable in cabin)
Tylenol
LAST MINUTE
call airport to check flight departure
lube bicycle chain to prevent rusting
put bicycle inside house/garage
disconnect car battery
cover car
shut water main
disconnect electricals
disconnect gas/heating
lock doors
lift gaze to horizons
Hello Maika: I am a fellow tango dancer myself. IN fact, I am training to become a competitor. I wish you well in all of your pursuits. I believe that dreams can happen, but one has to be willing to take the risk. I am working on few projects that will generate the income so that I may concentrate primarily on becoming a strong competitor in ballroom dance.
Tim:
Your book is a huge eye opener. I always had a very strong passion for pursuing my dreams and a strong creative nature. I am one of those people who can not function correctly if I did not pursue my dreams. But, I always say that if a blind man can climb a mountain (that has been done), then people who are blessed with all of their bodily functions should be able to achieve their dreams and use their God-given passions and talents to live a fulfilled and joyous life. Work, to me, isn't something to hate, but it is something for us to enjoy and give back to our communities/world. If we are not at our best and happy in working, then we aren't really doing ourselves and the communities that we serve any good. Everyone owe themselves and others to use their passion and talent to obtain the appropriate line of work and enjoy it. To me there is nothing like seeing a person enjoy their "job" and spread that joy to the customers that they serve.
Tim:
Seriously, the new way of thinking about your time is really important. Until people value the time when they are out of work, nothing much will happen.
I know you are doing a great deal to help out and hopefully give people a new of thinking. Unfortunately, I think most people will buy your book and not read it.
I think there is a statistic that only 10% of people read the books they buy. I guess the other 90% support the people who do find value in the books. Kind of a waste of paper. Oh well.
Definitely a roundtrip set of tickets to somewhere you've mentioned going to like, Vietnam, Argentina, Sanfrancisco, Hawaii. Free membership for 6 months to a year to one of the outsource websites you've mentioned or used. Free consultation for first 30 days from you, oh and free copies of your book of course!
peace luv blessings
Amanda
(I also like the castle idea, how bout an island. lol)
They also suggest thinking and planning while driving, but how do you do that without taking notes? I'm a writer, and note-taking is crucial to me. I don't know...
Best yet, set up your life so that you don't commute. I have friends who commute 1 hour each way every work day. Ugh! You might find this article helpful:
Workers' Average Commute Round-Trip Is 46 Minutes in a Typical Day
http://theproductivitypro.typepad.com/the_produ...
I'm reaching out to all in the virtual community,those who used to work in traditional formats or who are in the proces of designing there life, who may want to meet and network with likeminds. I know Meetup.com is a good place to do this but I'm posting here for others who have read Tim's book and subscribe to that philospy of life. I live in the San Francisco California Bay Area in the EastBay region,but am very close to both San Fran and Silicon Valley.
Cheers,
Tim H.
My husband and I and our 6 year old daughter live in Oakland. We are devouring the 4HWW book and have turned several like-minded friends on to it too. We could set up something on Meetup...you in?
Commute for me is approx 1.5 hours one way(!)in NYC transit hell, thinking all the while "there must be a better way..."
Interesting prize: There are art schools that do a few week-at-a-time courses: sculpture in Greece, painting in Italy...that would be my choice.
Cheers,
Lillian
Thank you for this book. I have read it from cover to cover. I even did the challenge you gave to group of students to find 3 celebrities in 72hours. My challenge was to find some pertinnent information that I have been searching for in 72 hours. I did it.
I look to your book for inspiration as I am a Pilates teaacher desparately trying to bring into another career- life coaching. Sometimes I get frustrated, confused and discouraged. Your book inspired me to think more creatively.
Thank You.
I have never read a more true quote...mostly because i am living it. At only 22 yrs old im working a rather corporate job pulling 75k, yet i feel myself sucked completely dry, working odd, irregular hours, frequent meetings, living in my car most of the day, chained to my blackberry, basically a corporate puppet - while i try convincing non-union construction workers that the corporate monster that is dragging me down is the right choice for them to make....depressing!!!!
my passion is bodybuilding, nutrition, and healthy living, i must tap into my creativity and break out of this! So glad to have read your book and im studying your blog!!!
Take care!
Just wanted to say that I feel I have read/listened to a few business books. By far your book is the best book and the only book or article for that matter that I feel is exactly how I want to live my life and how I want to get there thank you so munch for writing it and also having a great companion web site for ongoing updates and extra resources. I am looking hard for a muse I think I can use but soon I will fire my boss and eliminate the commute and do what I want. In the next 12 months I want to purchase a case of your books to give to friends/family so everyone can better there lives and do what they were intended to do. I can't wait to have some time to track you dowm and shake your hand and thank you personally.
Thank you again,
Steven Willard
If you're asking yourself where in the world does it take 45 minutes to go 6 miles, move to LA and drive from Burbank to West Hollywood. If you're daring, do it when the Hollywood Bowl is in season.
Cheers.
Great post and as usual I've found that after trying some of these, the ones that are right for me, really do work well, so thanks for that.
Just one quick ad is that, for the remainder of commute time that can't be eliminated can be maximized in value by listening to educational and enlightening podcasts.
I have one such podcast called The Auctionwally Show, that teaches folks how to identify values and worth of Antiques, collectible etc.
I can't believe the great niche content the is in the Podcasting arena, such as the one I found you on which is the Internetbusinessmastery.com with Jay & Sterling, I had to thank them for that.
Take care

Public transport isn't as reliable, but it still gives you time to read or write whilst someone else does the hard work of getting you there.
Since reading the book last year I have
cut my work time by 70% and booked 6 trips so far for 2008
I also am re designing what I do to teach others HOW TO bust loose from the nonesense game.
Its like saying how can I do a 10 hour work out in 2-3 hours each day..... and then do it in less than 2.
Its Not been easy as I find it hard to break my old habits of I should be working hard...however Im getting there tim.
Love to hook up with you some place and please come and say hello to syndey soon.
Thanks mate

Plus, when I watch the home shows on HGTV and see what folks in Cali spend on a tiny home (500k ), I can't believe it! They could literally have a mansion here in the midwest (metro area of 500k to 1 million folks) for that. Or sell their home and pay cash for a home here and pocket the rest. (Yes, I am a part-time realtor - full time IT). I know it would be a huge culture shock, though. And as I said, it's cold here now (28 degrees). Nevertheless, a long commute here is 30 minutes! Anyway, I sympathize with you all and applaud the creative ideas you've come up with to reduce the problems.
I had doubts about the security of my job, but I was so stressed and tired from the commute I decided to bite the bullet and move. I have decided I will never again move for a job. Find a place you love to live and create the job you need (telecommuting, or create your own) to live there instead. Or, as others have suggested, find ways to use the time spent commuting (take public transit, listen to audio books, etc.).
That said, I still ended up divorced, and it's absolutely because of the ridiculous, unbalanced, wage-slave lifestyle I was leading (there are ABSOLUTELY NO serious jobs for me in the Mid-Hudson Valley where I lived).
I saw your video on Elance, bought your book, and now I consider it one of the biggest life changing events of my life. I did all the work sheets in your book, and worked everything out, but I have a problem. I got a job with a great SEO firm in Atlanta, one of the best. I am a project basedworker and have VPN access to my computer at work. I am fully capable of working from home except for one thing: I have only been here 2 months and am very nervous about approaching management regarding telecommuting. Should I continue to wait another few months or a year before asking for telecommuting? I usually complete a week of projects in two days and know I could get it down to one day if given the opportunity. Should I just suck it up and allow them to invest more into me and make myself more valuable before I approach management regarding this? Thank you for all of your wonderful help, and I'd love to hang out with you some time!
Take it easy,
Jeremiah
I have a question for you. I am new at a large internet company. I have been here for 2 months, and I informed the managers who hired me that after I get experience here I anticipate working remotely a few days per week.
When should I ask them formally about working remotely?
Secondly, I work on projects all day, and when i get way ahead on my list of projects (1-2 weeks) what should I do with my spare time here at my office?
I am not allowed to just leave when I get done with my projects, instead they try to move things around so I get more projects. I am currently attempting to learn as much technical stuff as I can in my industry to become more valuable, but when should I pull the trigger and attempt to work remotely a few days per week?
Thank you!
Jeremiah
