Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
The time is right for allowing more workers to do their work remotely rather than keeping watch over them in a centralized office.
To make that happen, there are really just two things you need to get right:
If you get your mindset right and put in place some robust operating rules for how remote work will happen, you position your organization to take full advantage of the benefits of the growing remote work phenomena.
“Over the past decade, we’ve grown a successful software company, 37 Signals, from the seeds of remote work. We got started with one partner in Copenhagen and the other in Chicago. Since then, we’ve expanded to thirty-six people spread out all over the globe, serving millions of users in just about every country in the world. We’ll draw on this rich experience to show how remote work has opened the door to a new era of freedom and luxury. A brave new world beyond the industrial-age belief in The Office. A world where we leave behind the dusty old notion of outsourcing as a way to increase work output at the lowest cost and replace it with a new ideal – one in which remote work increases both quality of work and job satisfaction.”
– Jason Fried and David Hansson

Summary of Remote (Jason Fried and David Hansson)
1. Mindset
To make having a remote workforce work for you, start by making sure everyone is on the same page when it comes to what you’re trying to achieve here. Take the time to get your mindset right first. If everyone agrees the time is right for remote work, then you’re better positioned to make it happen.
1. No interruptions
If you ask your people where they do their best work at the present time, most office workers will say something like “I come into the office super early in the morning and get stuff done before anyone else comes in.” That should signal to you that your best people aren’t getting much done in the office.
Why? There are too many interruptions in the office! People can’t get going on creative or meaningful jobs because they keep getting interrupted at the office. When people work remotely, there are less interruptions and therefore more opportunities for great work to actually happen.
“The ability to be alone with your thoughts is, in fact, one of the key advantages of working remotely.”
– Jason Fried and David Hansson
2. No commute time
Very few people like commuting. Studies have shown conclusively that commuting not only wastes productive time but it also makes you feel fat, stressed and miserable. Working where you like rather than at a centralized office cuts this waste entirely.
