Are You Working Remotely? Why Aren’t You Doing It From Hawaii?

Have you found that your job can be done remotely after the pandemic started this spring? Do you have the skills to work remotely from anywhere by utilizing communications technology like Zoom, FaceTime or GoToWebinar? Have you been thinking that life is short and now may be a time to consider a change?

Imagine your alarm clock goes off and you don't dread the day ahead! If you lived in Hawaii and worked remotely, you would get in your work on mainland time and still have plenty of day left to go for a swim in the ocean, go for a bike ride down a palm tree lined road, have time for your family, relax at a beach side restaurant, volunteer, or just enjoy a warm and tropical lifestyle.

Here are a few reasons why you should consider living in Hawaii and working remotely:

Having a flexible job in Hawaii means that you can be a digital nomad while still having a meaningful and well-paid career. Or start that consulting business you have been thinking of launching, offer services via the web like telemedicine, online teaching instruction, or bring an existing franchise idea and manage it in both locations like our friends at Kona Pet Gal did.  Albeit, right now, this type of working arrangement is likely to be difficult due to travel and quarantine restrictions, but it’s a consideration as things begin to open up again.

Did you know that more than 30 minutes of daily one-way commuting is associated with increased levels of stress and anxiety? Research shows that commuting 10 miles to work each day is associated with health issues that include higher cholesterol, elevated blood sugar, increased risk of depression and less time to spend with your loved ones, causing guilt and kids wishing you would take them to Hawaii.

But you may be asking, what about the expense of flying back to the mainland?

You can offset your airfare expenses to go check in at your office by not having to pay for transportation fees associated with a commute that includes gas, car maintenance, transportation, and parking fees. Since you only need a few nice shirts to show up on a Zoom call, you can cut the expense of a professional wardrobe and lunches bought out with your “trapped in one place” colleagues and clients! These savings add up and put more money back into your airfare budget.
