About Small Space Remote Work
Our story and approach
Our Mission
We create practical, realistic guidance for people working remotely from small apartments and compact living spaces.
Many remote work resources assume you have a spare room for an office, budget for expensive equipment, and complete control over your living environment. The reality for many workers is different: small apartments, shared spaces, and constraints that make "ideal" setups impossible.
Our content addresses that reality. We focus on what's achievable in limited space, with practical budgets, by real people navigating the challenges of working where they live.
What We Cover
- Workspace setup for small apartments and studios
- Routines and habits for remote work success
- Focus and productivity strategies
- Work-life boundaries without dedicated offices
- Ergonomics within space constraints
Our Approach
Practical Over Ideal
We prioritize what actually works in constrained situations over what would be ideal in perfect circumstances. Good enough that exists beats perfect that doesn't.
Environment and Habits
We focus on environment design and sustainable habits rather than willpower and motivation. Systems that don't rely on feeling motivated work more consistently.
No Hype
We avoid productivity hype, hustle culture, and unrealistic promises. Remote work from small spaces has real challenges. We address them honestly, not with motivational platitudes.
Physical Products, Not Software
When we discuss products, we focus on physical workspace items—desks, chairs, lighting—not software, apps, or SaaS tools. Many sites cover productivity apps; fewer address the physical realities of small-space remote work.
What We Don't Do
- Software or app reviews
- Career advice or job search guidance
- Industry-specific remote work advice
- Recommendations that require significant space or budget
- Productivity "hacks" or quick fixes
Editorial Independence
Our recommendations come from what we believe is genuinely useful, not from commercial relationships. When we do include affiliate links to products, we disclose this clearly. Our content priorities are driven by reader needs, not advertiser preferences.
