Remote work tips

After working remote for 5+ years these are the things that I try to do better.

  • Upgrade my messages
    • formatting
    • TLDR statement or BLUF statement or main take away
    • Use bullet points every chance I can
    • Break up paragraphs that are more than 3 lines
    • Have a specific CTA or question at the end
  • Texting not as good as a voice memos and is not as good as sending looms
  • Take the initiative when it comes to calendar scheduling
  • Try to respond fast as fuck
  • Follow up consistently like the old lady at church who wants to talk to the young person. But also be cool like the CEO who is gently reminding a loved employee about an outstanding task they want to get done.
