16. Get out of the house: Work from anywhere.
Need help getting through the work day efficiently as a telecommuter? Here are our suggestions for software, gadgets, places and techniques to be more productive.
Maybe you prefer to work in less traditional spaces—in a park or on a city bench—where WiFi isn’t available. If you don’t own a tablet and are sick of typing notes on your tiny smartphone screen, consider getting a portable WiFi hotspot.
Verizon’s MiFi is a popular choice for users hoping to connect from anywhere. The mobile hotspot provides a 3G connection for up to five devices, including laptops and PDAs.
For smartphone owners, a simpler option might be to tether your device to your laptop. Most Android devices can easily provide connections for other devices. AT&T also recently released a tethering plan for its iPhones.
