We are very interested in our community contributing stories to the Thrive Remotely newsletter.

Planned Themes
Below is a short theme title, description and the value to our readers.
Premium In-Person Time
Thur. Feb 12th
Remote Community
Description: Distributed teams and entrepreneurs can treat in-person time as a strategic asset: anchor it in the calendar, give it a clear purpose, and design lightweight, structured retreats that create shared story, trust, and momentum for the rest of the year online.
Reader Value: Retreats, masterminds and meetups that balance productivity with deep social bonding are instrumental to maintain trust remotely.
The "Async-First" Advantage: Reclaiming Time and Focus
Thur. Feb 19th
Working Remotely
Description: Most meetings are just expensive performance art. We’re showing you how to flip the script by defaulting to clear, concise documentation and saving "real-time" energy for the 5% of problems that actually require a human face.
Reader Value: Trade the blurry-eyed exhaustion of back-to-back calls for the deep satisfaction of four-hour "uninterrupted flow" sessions. You’ll stop being a reactive cog in everyone else's wheel and start being the person who moves the needle while everyone else is still stuck on mute.
Health as a KPI: Stop Letting Your Body Tank Your Revenue
Thur. Feb 26th
Lifestyle
Description: Treat physical health as a KPI by making it the difference between crushing a proposal in 90 minutes versus staring at your screen for three hours and producing garbage—not the thing you promise yourself you'll do tomorrow after you've already torched your focus for the third day in a row.
Reader Value: In a remote setting, no one's watching when you eat stale crackers at your desk, ignore your lower back screaming, or push through exhaustion until you're too fried to think straight. You must become your own Chief Health Officer, because burnout doesn't send a calendar invite. It just quietly ruins your judgment, kills your creativity, and makes you unemployable before you notice.
Stop Fighting Through the Fog: Your Mid-Day Reset Playbook
Thur. Mar 5th
Wellness
Description: You hit 2PM and your brain feels like sludge. Most people reach for coffee. You? You've got something better. Learn how to turn a 15-minute midday break into a performance weapon—one that clears mental fog, prevents that nagging back pain, and uses your location freedom as an unfair advantage.
Reader Value: Stop treating breaks like laziness. Start treating them like the competitive edge they are. You'll learn to build movement into your day as deliberately as you schedule meetings—so you finish strong, think clearly at 4PM, and actually have energy left when you close your laptop.
The Portfolio Career: Never Fear a Layoff Again
Thur. Mar 12th
Career Advancement
Description: You got your commute time back, but where did it go? Into more meetings. Learn to ringfence those hours and build aligned side income that compounds your expertise instead of burning you out with random gigs.
Reader Value: Transform invisible hours into visible security. Build income streams aligned with your expertise so you're never held hostage by a single employer or one bad quarter from financial panic.
Think Like a Business Before They Downsize You
Thur. Mar 19th
Working Remotely
Description: Remember the sick feeling when your coworker got laid off with two weeks' notice? That's waiting for you too unless you stop treating your employer like they owe you stability. Start charging them for solutions, not just showing up.
Reader Value: Turn 'what if they let me go?' panic into 'what if I outgrow them first?' confidence. Multiple revenue streams mean you choose opportunities because they excite you, not because your mortgage depends on it.
The Career Insurance AI Actually Makes More Valuable
Thur. Mar 26th
Personal Development
Description: 2026's harsh truth: AI does in 10 seconds what took you 10 hours last year. But here's your edge: Machines can't calm an angry stakeholder, navigate office politics, or tell a story that changes minds. Remote professionals who double down on these skills aren't just surviving—they're commanding premium rates.
Reader Value: Use your remote flexibility to build the one unfair advantage AI can't copy: the ability to make people feel heard, resolve conflicts that derail projects, and tell stories that inspire action. These aren't 'nice-to-haves'—they're why you'll still have leverage when your peers are competing with algorithms.
