- Design your environment
- Set boundaries (set start and end times)
- Don’t forget to move
- Take time to connect with those outside work
- Learn to get really good at written async communication. This makes sure that you won’t sit in avoidable meetings which could have been a short/long email.
- Batch meetings on a particular day/s of the week. This makes sure you remain productive.
- Know that it’s okay to be not productive all the time
- Make time for hobbies and people, it will make you a more effective worker
- Don’t take any gig or role because it is offered to you, choose what syncs with your goals and preferred lifestyle
- When remote you don’t have to work from your home, you can work from anywhere. That’s the point.
I also wrote this piece on remote work earlier which you may find useful.
