Today is a special day around here for the Workshifting team because it's our first birthday! Yay! When we launched this project last year we didn't know where it would take us but in the past year we have been fortunate enough to have gained a great group of contributors and a ridiculously awesome community. Over the past 12 months we've shared over 200 blog posts (subscribe!), 1,600 tweets (follow us!), hundreds of updates over on Facebook (like us!) and tens of thousands of links in Google. I've spent some time digging up our most popular content over the past year, just in case you missed some of it. The nice aspect of workshifting is that though some of this content is a year old, it is still relevant now. So, here are our top 10 posts, in order of popularity, of the past year:
- Board Room or Bored Room
- How I Convinced My Boss to Let Me Become a Workshifter
- Don't Be "That Guy" While Workshifting
- What Does Gen Y Want from the Workforce
- Why You Need to Know About the Telecommuter Tax Fairness Act
- Five Things in My Work Bag
- Generation "Y Do I Have to Work from the Office?"
- Lifestyle Design Tips that Rock Stars Can Teach You
- 7 Considerations for Setting Up a Home Office
- 5 Sites for Better Flights
So what's next for Workshifting? Over the next year we're looking forward to adding more contributors (want to become one?), providing more resources, hold a few meetups (hopefully internationally) to meet you, and a few other ideas that are being worked on in a top-secret, undisclosed workshifting location.
Besides what we're already up to, we also want to know how we can be most helpful to you over the next year. Let us know in the comments below what you want to see from Workshifting in the coming months and years.
We hope that you continue to join us for this ride and thank you for everything over the past year!
Happy birthday workshifters!
