Is Work From Home Working Out? + More On CHOM 97.7 FM

Every Monday morning at 7:10 am, I am on air at CHOM 97.7 FM radio out of Montreal (home base). It’s not a long segment – about 10 minutes every week – about everything that is happening in the world of technology, digital media and culture. The good folks at CHOM 97.7 FM are posting these segments weekly on i Heart Radio, if you’re interested in hearing more of me blathering on about what’s happening in our digital world. I’m really excited about these weekly hits, because this is the radio station that I grew up listening to, and it really is a fun treat to be invited to the Mornings Rock with Terry DiMonte morning show. The segment is called, CTRL ALT Delete with Mitch Joel.

This week we discussed:

• Have we changed how we see our work, our place in the organization, and how we work together?
• How is remote work really going? Some like it. I find it challenging. It is challenging, because it’s very different. A true expert on that subject is Cal Newport (who wrote both Digital Minimalism and Deep Work). Newport wrote an amazing (and long) article for The New Yorker titled, Why Remote Work Is So Hard – And How It Can Be fixed.
• Another interesting perspective on the WFH (work from home) movement is this piece from Medium titled, The Five Levels of Remote Work — and why you’re probably at Level 2, by Steve Glaveski.
• App of the Week: Photopea – a free and online photo editor.

You can also listen in via I Heart Radio.
