WorkingRemotely
There are five things you need to do right now to be successful working remotely.
Invest in remote collaboration tools, make sure you have a good camera, a good microphone, have a virtual meeting system like zoom, then a messaging system like Slack, and a place where you can store virtual documents like Google Drive.
Form routines, have certain morning routines you do, then routines you follow during the day and evening routines because this really helps to focus on work stuff and personal stuff. And don't let the board get intertwined. And that's where the problem starts.
Foster human connection. One of the main things we miss when working remotely is this direct communication with people, but you can create that. So the way to do that is you can schedule lunch dates with your co-workers during the weekdays, then work at co-working spaces, and also have monthly meetings with your co-workers for happy hours. And that's the way to create that human connection.
Have strict boundaries. Just because you have all these virtual tools in communication tools, it doesn't mean that you have to be online 24/7. So have strict work hours and personal hours and communicate that to your family and your team so that they don't come and bother you when you're working on something. You don't always have to be On, remember that.
Reduce distractions. So when working remotely you may have your kids running around, your pets trying to get ahold of you and so many other distractions. So what do you want to do is when you're doing focus work, put your phone, your emails in “Do Not Disturb” mode and focus on one particular task and let your family know that when you're doing focus work, you don't want to be distracted.
So that is one way to do it. and plan your work hours in advance so that you know what you need to do every single day and treat work hours as work hours. Don't fall laundry or clean the kitchen while working.
So those are the five ways you can make your remote work effective.
