Showerthought: Giving up fast wifi actually improved my remote work
I know this sounds backwards, but hear me out. Most nomads chase the fastest internet like it's gold, but I've been forcing myself to use slower, public connections for the past six months. When I was in a small town in Guatemala, the only option was a spotty cafe wifi that cut out often. Instead of getting frustrated, I planned my day around it, doing offline tasks when it dropped and only going online for short bursts. This made me way more focused and I got through my to-do list faster because I wasn't distracted by endless browsing. I saved money too, since I wasn't paying for pricey co-working spots or sim cards. Sure, video calls are a hassle, but I schedule those for rare good connection days. Anyone else think our need for constant, high-speed internet might be holding us back more than we admit?
