Practical Tips for Remote Working

The reactions to the first two blog entries on the subject of home office have amazed me. Actually, up to now I was of the opinion that the majority of brain or computer workers are able to switch to remote work without any problems. Far from it, because the opposite is the case.

How important is the joint office for certain professional groups. What can be done from home or any other place. For us, for example, the Internet is the key factor.
