Have you heard of the phenomenon of digital nomads? These are people who can work remotely from anywhere, so choose to spend their time traveling the world and working from all sorts of beautiful destinations.
If working remotely is possible for you, then pairing it with an RV could be the best decision that you ever make. Think about it: you buy an RV and get to work from wherever you like, without giving up the creature comforts of home.
In this guide, we’ll look at how to make working on the road work for you. Read on and learn more!
1. Create an RV Office
We all need somewhere to go when we start work. Going to the same place to work every day puts you in the right frame of mind so that you can focus on work.
Just as you might have a home office in a house or apartment, you should set aside an area in your RV that is your work zone. Make sure it’s a quiet spot where you can focus, receive phone calls, and work without any interruptions.
2. Set Aside Working Hours
When you don’t have to go into an office, it’s very easy to get sidetracked and, well, procrastinate over work. You may indulge in another cup of coffee before work, or maybe read another chapter of that book you’re enjoying.
Self-discipline is a vital skill for freelancers and entrepreneurs, and it starts with setting aside time to work. Know your working hours and keep a normal working schedule, even if you’re enjoying the RV life!
3. Keep Work and Travel Separate
While it may be tempting to work for five hours and then drive off into the sunset to a new campground, you won’t be able to do either of them to the fullest if you do this. Driving while you’re tired is dangerous and working after a long drive will result in less productivity.
We’d recommend that you keep days of your week aside as travel days so that you can keep moving as much as you like without compromising your work.
4. Dress for the Job
When you’re working from an RV, you can easily work in pajamas or a robe, but you shouldn’t. Changing into normal working clothes puts you into a productive state of mind, and can help productivity.
No one is saying that you need to put on a full suit to work from your RV, but a pair of jeans and a t-shirt is better than a robe.
5. Make Sure You Can Stay Online
When you’re traveling around the country, you can’t get fiber, so you need to find another way to get online. You could consider buying satellite broadband or buy a 4G dongle that can connect you to mobile internet.
Working Remotely Is a Joy if You Do It Right
Working remotely from an RV is wonderful but if you want to keep your productivity high, you need to put these tips into action. So, if you want to start living this lifestyle, you need an RV and a remote job!
