How to live the laptop lifestyle

The Laptop lifestyle has been the trend since 2007 when Tim Ferriss launched his book called "The 4 House Work Week". To this date, entrepreneurs all over the world have been using this method of working. His book taught us that being stuck to a desk is not how you should continue working in the future. The Laptop lifestyle just requires you to own a laptop, phone and a stable internet connection for you to generate income. If you can do your work from anywhere- be it entrepreneurship or freelancing, you fit in the lifestyle well.

But you need to keep some things in mind when you are wishing to adopt this lifestyle:

1. Leverage Technology

Nowadays, it is witnessed clearly how much the technology has advanced. It has thus affected the working ability of the people to work from anywhere in the world. If you lean on technology, it will keep you organized at all times, automate your tasks, track your time and help in communicating with clients. You can find a lot of apps and software in the market that are responsible for making your life easy and very well-organized. You must learn a way to make optimum use of the technology to be able to work from anywhere.

2. Choose a Niche Comfortable with remote work

This lifestyle requires you to work in a field which does not demand much of your physical presence. So you need to make sure to find a job that hires people who are remote. You just have to be comfortable with the work as more and more jobs are coming which are not affected by the location of the candidate. So, just search for a job or find clients that are comfortable in this type of working relationship.

3. Clarity in communication

When you wish to adopt this lifestyle, it is necessary that your communication skills are on point. Your skills come from the energy you exhibit, tone, your body language and the way you express yourself. If your communication is not clear, you will not be able to interact with your clients properly which would result in losses for you.You need to leverage the technology to clear your communication. Use apps like Skype or Facetime for video calls, Google docs to create files or Loom app to capture simple scree recordings.

4. Keep Selling

The important aspect of this lifestyle is that you need to sell constantly because you are your own boss. You can never stop selling or it will kill your business and someone else will overtake you. This is applicable even to people who work remotely because they need to sell themselves to their boss into hiring them. You need to continue to build your network and try in getting more and more clients. If you can't get new clients due to loads of work, just keep on selling yourself to the existing clients.

The laptop lifestyle has been in fashion since 2007 as it benefits people in a lot of ways. You just need to have adequate resources and boom, you can enjoy this lifestyle too. You just need to follow the golden rules mentioned in the article.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
