I have a regular job as a presales engineer. I'm not a digital freelance nomad like some. I have a desk at the corporate headquarters, a boss, co-workers, and regular meetings (which have gone virtual in the age of COVID). Still, I've spent the summer working in different rooms of my house (dining room, the home office/den, and even the basement), at my late father-in-law's house in Berlin, hotels and AirBNBs in Tennesee. Here's what I've figured out so far.
P.S. I welcome any critiques of this list or my writing, especially because I may choose to publish/monetize it in some way, so any improvement would be good.
