Notes from Mindful Productivity for Remote Workers

How to stay connected?

• make connection and explicit objective for meetings. Include an element of connection in a meeting e.g. a check in, a get to know each other exercise
• remember you can say/write just a hi
  • How’s your week/etc going?
• async more, to sync less (but better) - save meeting time for when you really need it
• make the most of not having a commute … plan that time actively
• take meaningful breaks
  • catch up in a walk
  • drink a tea/coffee away from your computer
  • meet someone face-2-face

Embrace flexibility

• where you work (home, coworking space, office)
• when you work (linear vs. non-linear)
  • linear 9..6
• when getting together - focus on building relationsships
• What would you like to do with your saved commute time?
• Can you work in different places and at different times .. that suit your energy, mood and what you need to do?
• What would you like to do during the day that you couldn’t do usually?
