Time Management Beyond the Task List — Online Collaboration. Imran recently pointed out a great comic from The Oatmeal called “Why Working from Home is Both Awesome and Terrible.” The panel titled “Degradation of Social Skills” really resonated with me. It’s not that I’m scared I’m no longer able to converse with others (no, really, after a year in the cave, I still talk good! Me talk good!) But, it does raise interesting questions about how remote workers balance social time, colleague time and our own personal time. I’m curious: how do you manage this? Social Time To me, “social time” is time I spend outside work hours with friends. One remote worker I know engages in very little face-to-face social time — he might see friends once a fortnight, or less. Colleague Time Let’s call “colleague time” the time we spend dealing in person with colleagues or clients.

In a typical week, I might have one client meeting, but some remote workers I know average a meeting a month. Personal Time Managing Balance This is roughly how I manage my time.
