I’m a loving dad to two amazing kids. They rock my world, and while I love visiting new places (I travel a lot every month), I hate being away from them. Technology has not only made working from anywhere possible but also empowered those of us who live the workshifting lifestyle to stay in touch [...]

Summer vacation is a lot different for my kids than it was for me. Aside from regular swimming lessons and a weekly trip to the library, my childhood summers were mostly unstructured, spent playing outside with the neighbors’ kids, watching “The Monkees” reruns and bickering with my siblings. Now, we live in a neighborhood with [...]

That’s right – while some see workshifting as a woman’s best friend, the study found that the constant [...]
Did you know that hospitals have great wifi? Granted, a hospital is a weird place to workshift. But it can be done. Of course, I don’t recommend a steady dose of it, because it tends to mean that you or someone you love is stuck in one. In my case: my mom. Without delving into [...]
I remember the days when I used be able to go to work early and stay late. I’d wake up naturally to the sun peeking into my room, jump in the shower and get ready for work. Now that I’m a full-time working mom, my mornings and evenings are a bit different. It’s more like [...]
It’s Telework Week, a nationwide effort dedicated to encouraging organizations and individuals to pledge to workshift. While this week makes it especially easy for me to workshift, I’ve had the fortunate situation to be able to do that whenever I need to. I became a first-time Mom in April of 2010 and was able to [...]
