How to design a productive home office

Is your physical and digital workspace optimized for productivity? Have you implemented tools and systems to help you avoid burnout?

As more companies embrace remote first policies and asynchronous work, people are looking for productivity hacks on working from home. Rodolphe, a long-time advocate of remote work and the founder of Remotive, shares advice on how to create the perfect atmosphere for productive remote work, clear thinking and motivation within your home office (whether it's your home, restaurant, gym, etc.).
He describes his ideal digital and physical remote setup, as well as tips for finding balance and preventing zoom fatigue.
Together with Rodolphe, we will discuss the following topics:
  • The optimal physical WFH setup.
  • Organizing zoom meetings effectively.
  • Finding the right routine for you in order to create productivity and remote zen.
  • How to prevent zoom fatigue and establish an “Email First mentality”.
  • Designing your digital workspace and favorite tools for remote work and communication.
