Remote Life Resources: Your Guide to the New Normal

👋 Welcome to the Remote Life Resources Guide! 

This is a public, collaborative list of helpful links for anyone working (and living) remotely and looking for great ideas and accessible resources for staying happy, healthy, and safe during this crazy time. Whether you’re home alone, working alongside a roommate, a spouse, or your kids — we’ve got something for you. 

All new ideas are welcome, so please consider suggesting new resources or sections in the comments. We’re all in this together 💪.

This doc is maintained by the team at Justworks, but is open to the internet. So don’t share anything you’re not comfortable making public. Stay connected with us on Instagram for more updates and access to new resources.
