One of the great things about working Out Of Office is that you can work from almost anywhere, including the great outdoors. Jennifer Parris suggests five ways you can be productive when you’re outdoors:
- Being away from your desk can be a great way to clear your mind so you can focus a single issue
- Similarly, uncluttering your thoughts can lead to inspirational ideas
- When inspiration strikes, record your thoughts on your smartphone
- Maintain connectivity to the Internet by setting up your smartphone as a mobile hotspot
- Catch up on the latest news and developments by listening to podcasts by leaders in your area of expertise
I’d add that simply relaxing and enjoying the outdoors is a great way to recharge, and in so doing, avoid the fatigue that can sap productivity.
