What's your typical work routine?

Interview with Hrishikesh, an entrepreneur helping to shape remote work

We stick to the routine office hours in our respective time zones. This, we believe, helps us stay the most productive individually.

I start my day at 10 AM in the morning (when we have our daily standup) and finish off by 7-7:30 PM in the evening.

I usually try to minimize the breaks during the day so that I can wrap up early. However, I make it a point to look away from the screen, break for coffee or sip water at regular intervals.

We have actually documented the principles we follow as a team to maintain discipline and productivity in this video.

Hrishikesh's platforms are helping to shape the world of remote work and the gig economy—see how he mobilizes his remote teams to facilitate this new future of work.

Interview with Mary, a remote senior marketing content writer who maximizes downtime

I am an early bird, so I typically work from 8 until 4:30 PM, with a break at lunch to spend time with my son, and eat some food. I may also go outside for a few minutes dressed up as an inflatable pink T-Rex or an inflatable unicorn to entertain the neighbors by doing jumping jacks in the street, taking a stroll up the street, or just being silly.

My son records these antics, and then they're posted each day to my Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn (thankfully, I'm a "creative" so quirky works!) to provide a smile to friends, family, coworkers, and work acquaintances.

Each week, there's a weekly sales meeting to start off Monday morning, and I sit in on that through Zoom to see my coworkers and hear even more about what the customers are saying.

With the help of a Franklin Covey Notebook & a few rounds of Candy Crush—Mary shows how important downtime is to remote work. See how she maximizes her time and puts work-life balance first.
