Teams365 #2867 - 5 Productivity Tips To Support You As You Get Back To (Virtual) Work Routines

11/5/2021

0 Comments

Getting things done is at the heart of exceptional work in the hybrid space. Today’s blog post explores five key tips for productivity in the virtual space. While these will all be familiar to you, what is a good reminder for you this week?

#1 – Put A Frame Around It. As I shared in one of yesterday’s “Back to (Virtual) Work” Posts, Parkinson’s rule asserts that tasks expand to the amount of time we give them. It can be useful to “put a frame around” bigger projects by putting a framework around the start and end. What are those tasks you want to frame out?

#2 – Related To The First Area Is That Of Boundaries. Framing things out can also relate to boundaries. What are the boundaries you want to put in place? Boundaries can include having:

Physical space earmarked for
Boundaries around when you are on, and when you are off
Boundaries around task time

What boundaries will help you focus?

#3 – Creating time for sprints. Getting things done in faster, deeper dive can be a different way of working. About 5 years ago, I started experimenting with using “sprints” in program design. I take professionals through a 45-minute series of reflective prompts, helping guide them into focus. What are the sprints you want to create around your work?

#4 – Think about meal preparation and batching cooking. It’s likely that your food prep and planning is much more organized than it was this time last year, but perhaps not. Spending time every week to not only plan, and shop, but also prepare, can make a big difference, freeing up valuable time. What are the kitchen implements you have, but haven’t used? This might be an Instant Pot or Slow Cooker. What can you do to incorporate one or two more set-it-and-forget-it meals? One of my favorite video sites is the Seven Sisters….Many of their creations are things we already have in the pantry and freezer.

#5 – Think about creating something different in your routine. Our brains crave, and remember, things that are NOVEL, DIFFERENT or SURPRISING. On a regular basis, what can you do to get out of your routine? Maybe it’s attending a call which helps you think about things in a different way. Maybe it’s about shaking up your routine (moving your workout to a different time of day). Maybe it’s about working from a different location. What can you to do jazz up your routine?

Best,
Jennifer

Teams365 #2783 - Flashback to Rhythms, Routines and Results

8/13/2021

0 Comments

A few weeks ago, as part of the Reconnecting Workspaces Training, we discussed the importance of routines in establishing rhythms around remote work. Personally, I find my routines are a significant part of my own business results.

Here’s a link to a post I shared earlier this year over at the PlanDoTrack blog: www.plandotrack.com/blog/routine-check-remote-working-rhythms

My Remote Pathways podcast co-host has a great phrase – Remote working rhythms – which I had to borrow for this week’s blog post. This week we pause to check in around your routines with remote work. What are the routines you have established in your work?

Questions to consider:

Do you start work every day at a consistent time?
End work at a consistent time?
Get out (outside or out of the office) to fit some workouts or exercises?
What do you do to expand your remote work rhythms?
Possible remote working routines you could undertake:
Having a fixed start and end time
Participating in a regular co-working session with other professionals (similar to what I did with the 21 for 21 Virtual Co-working Sprints. Returning again in Q2.
Tackling certain tasks at a specific time or day
Earmarking a specific window for a certain task

Routines are important as they start to build out habits. As I have shared in past posts, habits can become automatic in terms of acting like a switch to get things done.

What are the routines or habits you want to undertake?

Enjoy your reflection!
