Employers grant autonomy to individuals they trust to manage themselves, and I have a great tip for staying organized and on top of your workload.
Each Friday afternoon before you leave for the weekend, write out your Monday to-do list. Someone gave me this productivity tip early in my career and I’ve never stopped.
It’s a small thing, but self-management is a critical skill for remote workers. No one is around to swing by your desk and check on your progress or remind you of a task.
This habit gives me peace of mind when I leave for the weekend because I don’t have to worry about trying to remember what I need to accomplish the following week. And it makes my Monday mornings so much smoother as well.
So each Friday before you close up your laptop, take a minute to write out Monday’s to-do list in your planner. Your future self will thank you.
