Remote work routine and communication planner
From the lesson Work-Life Balance From Home
Work through each step on paper or on screen. Use a real business, a project of your own or a friend’s idea. Keep this page for your portfolio.
1Write your working hours and share them with your team.
2Choose a shutdown ritual.
3Add both to your weekly planner.
Worked example to compare with: Building a shutdown ritual
- Problem: the evening email check turns into two hours of work.
- Ritual: at 5:30 write tomorrow's top three tasks, close all work tabs, close the laptop and put it out of sight.
- Rule: notifications for work apps are off after 6 p.m.
- Result to look for: more evenings that feel like evenings, and no loss of output because the next day starts with a clear list.
- Check: keep the same time for two weeks before judging.
