• 0:00
  Today I will share with you my top 6 tips for a remote workers.
• 0:06
  So I have been a remote worker and digital Nomad for two and a
• 0:10
  half years now. Now I am super productive but it
• 0:14
  has not always been like that when I first started out as a
• 0:17
  remote worker I would find it so hard to get motivated and get
• 0:21
  work done that. I ended up spending all my
• 0:24
  money, just backpacking around South America and I had to take
• 0:28
  a job again. Back home in Stockholm, and
• 0:32
  start over, trying to become a remote worker.
• 0:34
  So I don't want that to happen to you.
• 0:36
  So, here are my top tips that really helped change that and
• 0:39
  gave me motivated, productive and energized as a remote
• 0:43
  worker. The first tip is to have a
• 0:46
  weekly schedule. So this is a mistake that I did.
• 0:50
  When I first started out, I would I wouldn't have a
• 0:53
  schedule. I would just see what needed to
• 0:56
  be done and there was just Randomness so really going?
• 1:00
  To an Excel sheet and plan after days, Monday, Tuesday,
• 1:04
  Wednesday, etc. Etc.
• 1:06
  Which states will you be free, right?
• 1:08
  Which days will you do? No work.
• 1:10
  When will you stop working? When will you start working?
• 1:14
  Where will you take breaks if you have several projects?
• 1:17
  Which days do you work on one project which days to work on
• 1:21
  another project? And this has a really helps me
• 1:24
  to keep productive. So for example, on Thursdays I
• 1:28
  record seven videos. Those before lunch by having
• 1:32
  that, in my schedule, I feel pressured to do these seven
• 1:36
  videos. Well, if I hadn't had that in my
• 1:40
  schedule, then I probably would end up creating me one video,
• 1:43
  maybe no videos. So very, very important and here
• 1:47
  is an example of how my schedule looks like right now.
• 1:54
  Tip number two is to take breaks.
• 1:57
  This is so important. Sometimes I really get into a
• 2:00
  flow and I forget to take breaks, but what happens then is
• 2:04
  that my energy levels gets so low.
• 2:09
  I feel so drained and I end up not being very productive.
• 2:13
  So my health coach recommends to take a break, every 50 minutes.
• 2:19
  Don't wait longer than that. Do some stretches.
• 2:23
  Go outside, breathing some fresh air, get hydrated.
• 2:27
  Drink some water by looking at the screen for too long and can
• 2:30
  also get nauseous. I find that.
• 2:32
  And also my back hurts when I said to for too long and you
• 2:36
  definitely don't want to have back problems.
• 2:39
  Tip number three is to use a Pomodoro Timer.
• 2:43
  So what is this? This is a timer that is set to
• 2:47
  25 minutes during this 25 minutes.
• 2:50
  There are zero Distractions. So your phone should be on
• 2:55
  silent. No email tabs.
• 2:58
  No other tabs. You just hundreds.
• 3:00
  Focus on the task you doing and then you get a break.
• 3:04
  Most people would sit around 5, minute breaks when they can do
• 3:06
  whatever they want to and then again, 25 minutes, just go for
• 3:10
  it. This is a very effective tip on
• 3:13
  staying productive, especially if you're going to maybe write a
• 3:16
  blog post or some other like overwhelming task, then you
• 3:20
  really really get into the flow. Tip number four is to use a
• 3:24
  nootropic. So this is the one that I use is
• 3:29
  called Mind lab Pro. So if you haven't heard about
• 3:33
  nootropics, it's a brain boosting supplement so it has
• 3:38
  lots of vitamins. It has, you can see here it has
• 3:42
  lion mane, mushroom l-theanine Etc, that really helps you
• 3:50
  memorize memorize Focus, stay productive with most vitamins.
• 3:56
  I don't really feel much difference.
• 3:58
  I guess it does something on the inside but with no Tropics.
• 4:01
  However oh you feel it, it almost becomes impossible to
• 4:06
  stop working. You just want to keep on working
• 4:09
  working working very very effective.
• 4:12
  I prefer mine like Pro because it doesn't have caffeine.
• 4:15
  I'm trying to stay off caffeine I've heard it's not very good.
• 4:19
  That's a little tip for you tip number five is to avoid
• 4:22
  distractions. So I think most phones nowadays
• 4:26
  we have a do not disturb mode and this is really helpful for
• 4:32
  ads. You see how it looks like.
• 4:34
  This one when this is on, you will not be disturbed by calls
• 4:42
  notifications until you press the button again you can see all
• 4:45
  the notifications so really use that when you don't want to be
• 4:50
  disturbed another way of avoiding.
• 4:52
  Distractions and be more productive is to only check your
• 4:55
  emails at certain times of the day.
• 4:59
  So you might say 9:00 in the morning, 12 5 p.m. and that's
• 5:03
  it. You cannot check your emails.
• 5:05
  Me and more than that, I used to be addicted to checking emails,
• 5:09
  I would have notification and every time an email popped up, I
• 5:12
  would be like oh, what's this? What's this?
• 5:14
  What's this? And by the end of the day, I had
• 5:17
  not accomplished matched. My day had just been spent
• 5:19
  replying to emails tip number 6. This is to make a playlist of
• 5:24
  music that keep you motivated and productive.
• 5:29
  You can do this either in YouTube Spotify or ever you find
• 5:33
  your music. Think about what makes you
• 5:35
  productive is it piano music? Is it more upbeat house music,
• 5:41
  whatever that is, make it feel it playlist and play it while
• 5:45
  you are working. One type of music, I can really
• 5:48
  recommend is binaural beats. So this is music that have
• 5:51
  certain in frequencies which makes you productive and
• 5:56
  focused. So you can just search on
• 5:59
  YouTube binaural beats for focus and you'll find many great ones
• 6:03
  for free. So those were my tips.
• 6:06

• 6:09
  I'd love to hear and get inspired.
• 6:11
  Have a beautiful day. Bye.
