These remote workers share their Monday productivity hacks.



🔈 Create background noise to focus



“Funny enough, when I work at home, having background noise really helps me concentrate. I will either play TV shows on Netflix/Amazon Prime or listen to music randomly generated on Pandora. A silent environment tends to make me lose focus.”



Alex Tran, Digital Marketing Strategist at Hollingsworth



⚖️ Use Parkinson’s law



“I use an app called Alinof timer on my MacBook. It is extremely powerful and enables me to time each task which I set a limit of 30 minutes and the timer alerts me when my time is up. This use of Parkinson’s law really helps me get more done.”



James Dyble, Managing Director at Global Sound Group



🛑 Ignore the rules



“I ignore all rules, hacks and tactics as much as possible. That includes things like ‘turnkey automation systems’ or ‘secrets to double something in x days’. As a remote worker, it’s so easy to chase marketers’ sales copy dreams or spend too much time as a consumer, not as a producer. After the first year online, there aren’t any secrets that you need to keep searching for.”



Jason Lavis, Managing Director at Out of the Box Innovations Ltd
