In this section you will find my articles about home office and productivity. Having worked remotely for most of my life, I have a great deal of experience to share and help you to be more productive.
These are guidelines to help you create your own workflow. Please remember that there is no silver bullet when it comes to productivity — every one of us is different and has to adapt any methods to suit our own needs.
A variety of topics is covered here, ranging from setting up an office (hardware, software, furniture) to getting things done workflows.
Some of the articles available here are part of a Productivity series originally published on LinkedIn.
If you have suggestions for a topic, just contact me with your idea.
