Now I start my remote day with a very structured 30-minute planning session where I review my “inputs”: Slack, Asana, email, and anything left over from yesterday (the key is that I NEVER reply during this process, I just write them all down and quit the programs/close the windows as I finish my review). Then I make sure my desk and computer desktop are clean and ready to work.
Next, I look at my calendar and create times during the day for process work (shorter periods of time for emails, quicker tasks, things that unblock others) and immersive work (where I don’t want to be disturbed and focus).
Finally I list my to-dos for the day, taking into account my inputs, my calendar, and the things I want to accomplish.
Then I start working through my list. As new stuff comes in during the day, I don’t work on it, I write it down in its own list. If it’s urgent and important, I will choose to work on it. If not, it can get prioritized for the future during tomorrow’s planning session.
