It feels like we’re living in one of those videos that shows a plant sprouting, growing, peaking, and dying in hyper speed, so that what should take weeks happens in thirty seconds.
The world isn’t just changing. It’s shedding it’s skin over and over, reinventing itself before we can even come close to understanding the previous iteration. It’s mind-boggling and scary. The news is full of warnings that a 20 percent unemployment rate is coming. And pictures of Times Square and the Las Vegas Strip shuttered and empty.
We’re all sitting in our houses, trying to remember how to breathe, and the only thing that’s clear is that we’re going to have to figure out how to make a living in whatever new normal the world finally settles down into.
And maybe that means remote working. Or freelancing. Or both. Figuring out how to translate your experience and your ideas and what you’re good at into something that you can do from your house and that other people need, even in uncertain times.
Even people, like myself, who already work remotely need a flexible mindset right now. The things that made sense — no joke — just days ago just don’t anymore.
