5 Tips for Remote Work Productivity

Remote work has become the new normal for many professionals, but staying productive can still be a challenge. Here are 5 proven strategies to boost your efficiency:

1. Create a Dedicated Workspace
   Designate a specific area in your home solely for work. This helps your brain switch into “work mode” and minimizes distractions.

2. Time Block Your Calendar
   Use calendar blocking to allocate specific hours for deep work, meetings, and breaks. Tools like Google Calendar or Toggl can help.

3. Master Asynchronous Communication
   Reduce meeting overload by using collaboration tools like Slack or Notion for non-urgent communication.

4. Practice the 90-Minute Focus Rule
   Work in 90-minute intervals followed by 20-minute breaks, based on our natural ultradian rhythms.

5. End with a Shutdown Ritual
   Create a clear end-of-day routine to separate work from personal time, such as reviewing tomorrow’s tasks or writing a done list.
