A systems approach to productivity, communication, and sustainable performance.
Design Your Remote System
- Environment: ergonomic setup, reliable internet, distraction management.
- Rituals: calendar blocks, deep-work windows, async-first habits.
- Feedback loops: weekly reviews, sprint retros, personal metrics.
Execution Rules
- Over-communicate intent and outcomes (briefs and debriefs).
- Operate with written artifacts (docs > meetings).
- Prefer defaults that unblock teammates in other time zones.
Health & Sustainability
- Breaks between context switches.
- Movement and daylight every day.
- Clear shutdown routine to avoid burnout.
