1. you keep the communication lines openBe very available. Since we don’t all work in the same place and face-to-face meetings are minimal then we need to ensure that colleagues and/or clients don’t feel disconnected. Slack, Phone, Email and Skype at minimum.
2. you get sh*t doneWorking remotely can be great, but chances are you’ll have a bunch of distractions. Get the job done, no excuses.
3. you come with a plan (for you day/week/month/year)
Having a plan means getting to the goal/target/result quicker and less stressfully. Be kind to yourself and your colleagues.
