# Balance for remote workers

Hey there,

I hope you had a great week. I [spoke at a conference](https://twitter.com/fintechdevcon/status/1562477596343816193) called Fintech Devcon last week in Denver, Colorado, about how we use Friction Logs to make our products better at Stripe.

It was the first time I had traveled for work in a while, and I found it extremely refreshing. The recording for my talk should be available soon - I'll be sure to share it once it is live.

I was also able to explore Denver a bit while I was there. The River North Arts District (or Rino) was great fun - I can see why people are moving there in droves.

## Learn with me

📝 Finding balance as a remote worker - I wrote an article on the Third Space and why it is important for remote workers finding balance. It was a super fun project to work on and I'm excited to share it with you. It's called "[The third place - the secret to a happy life for remote workers](https://mikebifulco.com/posts/remote-work-and-the-third-place)".

📹 Supercharge your video call setup - This [twitter thread by @theKevinShen](https://twitter.com/theKevinShen/status/1565791729906745348) shares some helpful tips for improving your video setup for calls. This one is really useful if you're doing a lot of calls with other people for work. Your presentation on video can have a real psychological effect on the people you're meeting with!

🧘‍♂️ Write more, write better - I've been working on developing a daily writing habit. This has helped me become more aware of how I use language which is making me more effective at writing great content for my job, and for Tiny Improvements!

Thanks for reading Tiny Improvements. If you found this helpful, I'd love it if you shared it with a friend. It helps me out a great deal!

Until next time - be excellent to each other!

-Mike
