    I enjoyed reading this book. The content in the book wasn't groundbreaking but has its value and can certainly help out people working from home for the first time, or people who aren't as effective as they currently want to be in this role.

    4.0 out of 5 stars No Nonsense Guide to Remote Work
    Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2024
    A no-nonsense overview of the benefits and pitfalls of remote working that offers solid advice on the best practices for the new way of working.

    It covers practicalities like setting up an optimal workspace and keeping your sanity in a home work environment. Loneliness and mental health are issues that need to be dealt with and not swept under the rug and this book gives some strategies for dealing with this.

    Communications and handling office politics is also quite different when working with colleagues through a remote working setup. There are a number of best practicces and tips here to address this and make sure you understand the nuances required.

    Work life balance can also be a real issue when your home is your office and you spend too much time working on the computer instead of turning it off and getting back to your personal life.

    The book is quite short, but gets to the main points and does the job.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Help for Remote Workers!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2023
    After working from home in as a freelancer, I have contemplated working remotely through a specific company but wasn’t sure if it would work for me. This book, Productive Remote Working, helped me feel more comfortable about what that would entail. I’ve previously read the author’s book on Mindfulness and was inspired to use their techniques, which have improved my practice, so I was eager to read their thoughts on this aspect of life as well.
    Each short chapter goes over different aspects of remote work, including life/work balance, productivity, and effective use of technology. There are tips on how to stay motivated and not be deterred by confusion with technology or the task required of a worker. Effective communication is a key element that I think people sometimes forget about remote work. I don’t mean the social aspect of interacting with co-workers, but to communicate what is needed for the job. When there isn’t a constant boss standing around telling a person what to do, it can make a worker feel isolated. The author explains how this can be done with concise wording that can be easily understood.
    There is even a chapter that is directed more toward someone in a managerial position, showing the importance of their role. There’s research presented on working remote, plenty of tips for everyday success and a detailed explanation of the benefits of remote working if done properly. I enjoyed the author’s writing style and found the information helpful. Highly recommend.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A fine no nonsense introduction to working remotely
    Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I have worked remotely for more than 3 years now, and I think this is fine introduction to what to expect working from home. It is fairly basic, but informative, using a common-sense approach.

    It starts with the “right mindset” and discusses working environment functionality, time and task management, and the need for effective communication. Cameron also stresses the importance of work and private life balance. Further discussion provides examples and the advantages of using the latest technological offerings in communication platforms.

    I learned a new term: “Over-communication.” I never heard of it but I think it makes all the sense in the world. Better safe than sorry since subtleties can very easily get lost in translation over internet discussions.

    Most of the information in here follows common sense, and this book, being so short, one already accustomed to remote work could actually use it as a sort of reminder that will help with day-to-day work activities. Each chapter could be used as check-boxes of items to consider or use while attempting to stay organized. There are also nuggets of useful info detailed within—so all in all, this is a good short read as well as a good resource guide.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A structure for home working
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 12, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I have just finished reading productive remote working for beginners by A.J Cameron. It’s a fairly insightful book regarding home working successfully. It essentially revolves around creating structure and maintaining good habits for the new work place. He explains how to set yourself up in a space in the home that is separate from your personal life. He then gives hints on how to remain disciplined during working hours. Communication with colleagues is key. Cameron talks about how to use technology to create clear ways to communicate with co-workers throughout the day. The benefits and pitfalls of home working are touched upon and there is a problems and solutions area to the book. Some things I found to be quite obvious to be honest, whereas others things might be useful to some people. Overall, I think this book may be useful to people starting out home working and struggling to form a routine.

    3.0 out of 5 stars You get what’s advertised on the tin
    Reviewed in Canada on November 26, 2023

    A. J. Cameron’s Productive Remote Working: Strategies for Success promises a short, concise introduction to strategies the reader can employ to achieve a successful career working from home. And this is indeed what you’ll find between the covers: how to achieve the right mindset, build a functional workspace, manage your time, make use of technology, and balance your work and personal life. The book concludes with some details regarding remote work research and case studies.

    Cameron’s writing style is light, if a little dry, but with the odd joke sneaking in to brighten the mood. Interspersed with its claims are a few anecdotes of what the author did in order to achieve success working from home.

    Still, I would have appreciated some time devoted to what not to do, how not to work from home. Describing successful strategies is useful; discussing how to implement those strategies is helpful; but more emphasis on how things can go wrong, about how to the author made mistakes that the reader should avoid, would have been a fine compliment to the book, without padding its length too much.

    The cover of Productive Remote Working is a bit misleading: a woman sitting cross-legged on the floor living room, a laptop in her lap and a cup of tea in her hand. This does not reflect the content of the book, where the importance of a productive work space, deliberately separated from the rest of one’s home, is emphasized. Still, the image could be meant to reflect the feeling of comfort in working from one’s home. And, I suppose, a spartan desk facing a closed door, with a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the other side would not be so appealing...

    In general, I appreciated the concise, structured, and point-by-point approach to Productive Remote Working. If you are about to start working from home, plan or hope to be, or in fact are currently doing so, but looking for ways to improve how remote work fits into your career, this book might help you achieve it.

    More Bad News for Artificial Intelligence

    I must confess, as I read Cameron's book, I could not help but feel it could have been written by AI software. The structure of the book reads very much like a constructed set of essays put together by a high-school student looking for a good grade. It is kind of flavourless, and only when I noticed some grammatical errors did I feel I was reading the work of a human being.

    And then I thought: if I was going to have AI write me a non-fiction book about a subject, I would have it deliberately add in some errors with the grammar or punctuation. Not enough to tweak the nose of an editor, but a few even so, to make the work seem more human.

    Falling Down is Hard, When You’re Not Real

    This is why I wish Cameron had taken the time to describe what did not work in their remote work experience. We can learn by good examples, but even more valuable is seeing where people have failed, so we can avoid doing the same. AI has never done anything, let alone tried something and find itself failing at it. I expect, after much frustrating prompting, the end result would be some hilarious AI-generated anecdotes about doing too much LSD in college.

    But I digress. Unlike our artificial friends can do. For now, at least.
