Remote Control: Effective Time Management Book and Async Audio Course Podcast with Pilar Orti
A Remote Work Europe podcast with Maya Middlemiss
Regular listeners may have noticed, that the Future is Freelance podcast has now fully rebranded as our very own Remote Work Europe show!
And the latest episode brought me the great pleasure of interviewing my podcasting friend and mentor, Pilar Orti. I am a cohost on Pilar’s own show the 21st Century Work Life pod, and we have been collaborating for well over a decade one way or another!
I wanted to bring Pilar onto our show, because she has a new book out: The Remote Worker’s Guide to Time Management.
When you work remotely, managing your time is all about managing your attention and self-discipline,
Understanding how and when you procrastinate,
Getting real about multitasking.
Building relationship capital,
and becoming self-aware.
We also talked about asynchronous collaboration and how teams are managing this, because being able to disconnect from alerts and real time interaction is the true super-power to managing your time, and to unlocking the real freedom of working remotely and flexibly:
At your favourite place
In your own time,
when YOU are most productive and happy!
Pilar has developed a new course to help you master the skills to make async work, and unusually released this as an audio-only publication - because she walks her talk, and does not mean to tie participants to a screen to access this vital insight!
If you’re a job seeker then adding this essential remote-first skillset to your CV is a great idea.
