I started working remotely a couple of weeks and it's great. I'm happier, less stressed and I'm learning a lot. I can wake up, shower and start working right away. I have to keep office hours but the lack of commute is wonderful.

However, after a couple of weeks of this, I have realized that I can perfectly spend an entire week without leaving my apartment or talking to someone in person. I usually go out with friends on fridays but that's the only thing I have going on besides work.

I'm thinking about joining a gym and going in the mornings before logging in to work, what else should I do?

The local market is dead so I'm looking for a remote job somewhere else. I've sent some resumes to companies advertising here and in WeWorkRemotely but I haven't had much success.

How bad would it be to start sending emails to companies and startups that look interesting asking if they have an opening for someone like me?

The longer I work for someone else the more interested I become in alternatives for my future.

Worker cooperatives seem ideal from my perspective: all worker-owners decide together what are the business priorities, everyone shares both profits and losses, etc.

The thing I'm not sure about is applying this kind of thing to a startup or even a web dev agency.

Any opinions or experiences?
