Accessing Electricity and Internet

Electricity and internet access are prerequisites to being able to work remotely. If you cannot make it in to work, this access might not be available at your home.

Plan ahead by becoming familiar with your options to access these services near your home. These options might include working from the homes of local family, friends, or neighbors; or working from coffee shops or libraries with wi-fi.
