Motivational Monday productivity hacks from remote workers to avoid monotony, boredom, and loneliness

Do not push yourself too much

“We are humans, not robots. Some days, we smash it, some days,
we’re not in the mood or need to rest, change our mind. I always
try to work around 35 hours a week and don’t stick to the 9 to 5
schedule.”

Caroline Hoffmann, Head of PR & Coms at MarketOrders

Sign up for a regular activity

“If remote work is literally remote, it tends to get lonely. To
get your life/work balance back, you need to see other people,
mingle, chat. I’d suggest group functional training workouts or
signing up for some other group activity that asks for your
attendance at least twice a week.”

Jovana Subic, Head of Running Content at RunRepeat

Track time with Spotify playlists

“I’ve tried to use apps and timers in the past, but I find alarms
are even more disconcerting than losing track of time. I now keep
track of time using Spotify playlists with set lengths so I know
when it’s time to take a break or switch tasks.”

Nickolaus Hines, Freelancer
