Imagine using a remote control device to operate your television or car, you can use that remote anywhere (minding the length of distance and not operating from Mars) and get your car locked or unlocked right?.

Therefore, remote work professionally means working from home or locations outside the organization’s office. 

Remote work now modifies changing how we perceive work-life, the communication patterns, how we measure productivity and how professional teams can still survive.

Invincible structures that once dictated uncomfortable boundaries of our professional lives have now be chain sawed. 

Even though remote working does not require staying in a busy company office, a remote worker must create his or her own workspace at home. It is important to note also, working remotely might go beyond your living space into a coffee shop, in a commuting vehicle etc, depending on your convenience.
