I don't have an answer but I'm interested in the topic since I've been self-employed for the last... 2 decades, almost. Things aren't going too well and I'm on the lookout for a remote job that lets me work when I have the energy and will and not work when I don't, because when I do I get things done fast and well and when I don't I'm just wasting time not getting ahead much or at all.

What you write, weekly summaries would be a 100% no-go for me. I like to work but I don't like management overhead, that's what machines are for. Also daily meetings would absolutely be non-tolerable for me. There are better alternatives that don't involve waste of time video communication.

I want to just work and not deal with co-workers or anything around or in between. Are we there to have a coffee chat or to work ffs? (overdramatic reaction)
