Although Shenzhen, my home base, is much warmer than Korea, I have come to Sanya, the southernmost part of China, in search of an even warmer place. I plan to work here for about two weeks. It’s truly a blessing that remote work is possible in the nature of e-commerce. With just one computer, I can work from anywhere.
This year, I anticipate a lot of business trips as China is lifting its lockdown at a rapid pace. I am planning to visit Korea for about two weeks at the end of March, which I haven’t been able to do in the over two years since coming to China. I am also considering short and long-term stays in Hangzhou, Thailand, and elsewhere. I am even contemplating living a 100% nomadic life once the lease term of my current place expires.
While the geographical freedom is high in my e-commerce work, I aim to maintain a tight routine as much as possible in terms of time. There is hardly any significant change in my weekday routine. If not, I feel like I lose control. Especially as a self-employed person, if I become lazy, there’s no way forward, so I am always cautious about laziness.
Therefore, I believe that remote work is difficult to succeed without significant self-control and pressure from each member. As a small company, ECOM-US is an organization where all members motivate themselves, but I’m not sure if we can implement remote work once the company grows.
