Remote Routine: Recent Episodes
Remote Routine
For many of us, we’ve been working from home since 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic. We’ve had to drastically adapt to a new lifestyle of working. We’ve started Remote Routine to tackle the hard truth that sometimes, it’s hard to work from home daily, and we need support from our fellow remote professionals to stay encouraged. Each episode will feature lifestyle tips for professionals working remotely.
Our episodes are short, sweet, and to the point so you can listen in between Zoom meetings! Join us each week and you’ll be able to piece together the perfect Remote Routine.
Ready to level up your mental health? Invite a colleague to happy hour!
Virginia Albert tells Ryan this week on Remote Routine that getting social outside the office is a great way to decompress, bond, and strengthen those work relationships.
Whether it’s dinner, coffee, or a quick catch-up, stepping out of work mode helps refresh your mind. Don’t be shy—take the social risk. Who knows, your next great idea might come from that casual chat over a drink!
Who says work can’t be fun?
As a manager, gamifying tasks turns the daily grind into a competition your team will love. Leaderboards, challenges, and rewards create a sense of friendly competition and camaraderie.
Phil Mandelbaum of Mandelbaum Marketing says your team will feel more engaged, collaborate better, and actually enjoy hitting goals. Plus, a little competition never hurt anyone—except maybe the person who doesn’t win the coffee prize! Ready, set, game on!
Turn up your productivity with a little noise! This week Ryan chats with Daniella Izzo at Bakerfield Solutions about the different colored noises that help us focus.
White noise is your classic static sound—like a TV that’s lost its signal. It covers all frequencies evenly, which makes it perfect for masking background noise and helping you focus.
But if white noise feels too intense, try pink or brown for a softer touch. Whether you’re working, studying, or sleeping, each noise “color” has its own vibe.
Find your perfect match, and let the productivity—or relaxation—begin!
Got a big project? Find a buddy, says Bo Abrams of kommu!
Having someone to hold you accountable isn’t just about deadlines—it’s about support, too. A colleague or friend can offer feedback, encouragement, and a little nudge when procrastination hits. Plus, working together builds camaraderie, turning solo tasks into team efforts. With accountability, projects get done faster, better, and with way more fun.
So, grab a partner and watch your productivity soar!
Feeling hangry by noon? Micro meals to the rescue!
Cara Cannella tells Ryan this week that snacking on small, healthy bites throughout the day keeps her energy levels steady and her mood in check.
No more mid-afternoon slumps or sugar crashes—just consistent fuel to power through your to-do list.
Plus, these mini meals help maintain focus and productivity, because who can concentrate when they’re starving? Think nuts, fruits, or yogurt—simple, quick, and satisfying. So, ditch the three big meals, and snack your way to a happier, more productive you.
Who says meetings have to be all business? Adding 15 minutes of chitchat to your virtual meetings can do wonders for company culture. It’s like a coffee break—minus the actual coffee.
This week, Tierra Morgan from ASMBL says mall talk helps employees connect on a personal level, building relationships that go beyond the work grind.
Whether it’s sharing weekend plans or debating the best pizza toppings, these moments of casual conversation can make your team feel more connected and engaged.
So, start your next meeting with a little banter—it’s the secret sauce to a happier, more cohesive team.
Staring at your screen all day? Katie Weldon from Total Mortgage says your eyes are probably begging for a break. So look away and meditate for a bit! It's like hitting the refresh button for your eyes.
Not only does it ease eye strain, but it also helps reset your focus. Think of it as a mini-meditation session—except you're not in a yoga pose; you're just giving your eyeballs a well-deserved breather.
So, step away from the pixels, and let your gaze wander. Your eyes (and productivity) will thank you!
Need to get in the zone? Brandon Rodriguez from Toolbelt says turn up the tunes on this week's Remote Routine.
Try listening to music with a steady rhythm! Beats around 60-70 BPM mimic the brain’s natural rhythm during deep focus.
Think chill lo-fi or classical music—no lyrics to distract, just a smooth flow to keep you on task. Next time you’re staring at a mountain of work, pop on some rhythm-driven tunes. It’s like giving your brain a metronome to march to, guiding you straight into that productive groove.
Warning: Side effects may include a sudden urge to conquer your to-do list with laser focus.
Virtual happy hour games are a fantastic way to build camaraderie in remote teams. Michael Halpert loves them and uses them constantly at Thrasio.
On the podcast this week, Michael discusses how trivia games are a great choice for team-building. They're easy to set up and fun for everyone. They encourage friendly competition and spark conversations about shared interests. Trivia can also be themed around pop culture, company history, or even random fun facts, making it a versatile option that can be tailored to your team's preferences. This lighthearted activity not only breaks the ice but also helps team members bond and feel more connected, keeping morale high and employees happy.
Fun team-building activities like DIY candle kits and other crafts can transform remote teams, says Allys Ton on this week's episode of Remote Routing.
The Qortex AI manager says these activities offer a break from the usual work routine, allowing team members to relax and bond over a shared experience.
Crafting together can spark creativity and innovation, which can translate into better problem-solving skills at work. Moreover, these activities foster a sense of camaraderie and connection among team members, making them feel more engaged and valued.
Happier employees are more productive and motivated, leading to stronger teams and improved work output. Investing in creative team-building activities is a win-win for both employees and the organization.
Working from home offers flexibility, but it can also lead to a sense of isolation. Ryan knows this all too well! :)
This week's guest, Carson Brienza from Top Class Actions, says it is essential to get involved in activities outside the house to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
Volunteering is a great way to connect with your community, meet new people, and make a positive impact. Whether it’s helping at a local food bank, tutoring students, or participating in community clean-ups, volunteering provides a sense of purpose and fulfillment. It also allows you to step away from your home office and recharge mentally.
Engaging in community activities can enhance your overall well-being and boost your productivity when you return to work.
Moving project conversations off Slack and into a project management software can significantly reduce anxiety and boost team productivity.
When project discussions and assignments are centralized in a dedicated platform, it eliminates the chaos of scattered messages and ensures everyone has access to the latest updates.
Nikki, heading things over at Pennock, tells Ryan this week on the podcast that clarity helps team members understand their roles and responsibilities more effectively, reducing stress and confusion.
By transitioning to a project management software, teams can work more efficiently and with greater confidence.
Getting stuck in a rut during your workday is a common challenge that can hinder productivity and creativity. Jake Knopfler from HedgeStone Business Advisors has the cure. Start your day over!
When you find yourself in this situation, consider mentally restarting your workday instead of taking a typical break. A mental restart involves stepping away from your current tasks, taking a few deep breaths, and resetting your mindset.
This approach allows you to begin fresh without the burden of previous frustrations. By treating it as a new beginning, you can regain focus, boost your energy levels, and approach your tasks with a renewed perspective. This practice can lead to more effective problem-solving and increased productivity.
Maintaining bed hygiene is crucial for both your physical health and your overall well-being. This week Sean Dubberke discusses all things beds.
The VP at RW3 bed should be a sanctuary for rest and rejuvenation, not a multipurpose workspace. When you work in bed, you introduce various contaminants, such as dust, dirt, and allergens, which can accumulate in your bedding and negatively impact your health.
Regularly washing your sheets, pillowcases, and blankets is essential to keeping your sleep environment clean and hygienic. Aim to change your bedding at least once a week to ensure a fresh and healthy sleeping space.
Remember, a clean bed promotes better sleep quality and overall health.
This week, Victoria Adamo from Ground News discusses burnout and the importance of stepping back from work when you are working too long.
If you notice signs of burnout, it’s important to take steps to address them. Start by setting clear boundaries between work and personal time. This could mean not checking work emails after hours or designating specific times for breaks during the day.
Time management is also key; prioritize your tasks and delegate when possible.
Another effective strategy is to schedule regular breaks to rest and recharge. Even short breaks can significantly reduce stress and improve productivity.
It’s also beneficial to engage in activities that promote relaxation and well-being, such as exercise, hobbies, or spending time with loved ones.
In the remote work environment, it’s easy to get trapped in a bubble of your own ideas. Rob Gearity is on this week from Vine Pair to discuss how reaching out for external input can burst that bubble, introducing diverse viewpoints that stimulate creativity.
Whether through formal feedback sessions or casual discussions, these interactions can spark new ideas and refine existing ones.
Imagine you’re developing a marketing campaign: a friend's suggestion to target a different demographic or use a new platform could open up exciting opportunities you hadn’t considered, making the campaign more effective and engaging.
Sandy Papavero joins the Remote Routine podcast this week to discuss the differences between results-oriented task planning and task-based planning.
The CEO Warrior director explains that task-based planning is centered around creating a to-do list of activities that need to be completed, often leading to a sense of busywork without necessarily moving closer to meaningful outcomes. In contrast, results-oriented planning emphasizes the desired result, prompting you to identify the most effective actions to achieve that result.
For instance, instead of having a task like "attend team meetings," a results-oriented approach would be to "ensure team meetings lead to actionable decisions and clear next steps for the project."
This week Ryan unpacks this "briefcase mentality" concept from Kevin Wright from Point Foundation.
Packing a briefcase for your remote workday offers numerous organizational benefits. When you compile all necessary tools and documents in one place, you reduce the risk of misplacing important items.
Kevin says this simple habit can save you precious time that might otherwise be spent searching for misplaced files or office supplies. Moreover, having a designated work kit ensures that everything you need is within arm’s reach, allowing you to focus more on your tasks and less on the logistics of finding what you need.
Determining your chronotype is the first step towards optimizing your daily routine.
Ryan chats with Kyle Guffey, managing things over at Warner Chappell Production Music about how she's more musically inclined to create in the late evening.
There are several methods to identify your chronotype, including self-assessment questionnaires and tracking your energy levels throughout the day. One of the most widely recognized tools is the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ), which can help you understand whether you are a morning person, an evening person, or somewhere in between.
By gaining insight into your natural tendencies, you can start to make more informed decisions about when to schedule your most important tasks.
This week, Ryan chats with Jennifer Owen at FlowCarbon about time-blocking. This is a powerful productivity technique that involves scheduling your day into blocks of time dedicated to specific tasks or activities.
One of the key benefits of time-blocking is that it helps alleviate the constant pressure of thinking about all the things you need to do.
By assigning specific blocks of time to each task, you can focus on one thing at a time without feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of tasks on your plate.
One of the easiest ways to incorporate happy habits into your remote work routine is by surrounding yourself with items that bring you joy.
Laura Mullen from Rare Patient Voice says could be your favorite coffee mug, a cozy blanket, or a desk full of personal items that make you smile.
These simple touches can make a big difference in how you feel while working and can help boost your mood and productivity.
- Efficiency is key for our small creative team, especially when working remotely. This week Ryan chats with Sheila Sullivan from Lung Cancer Research Foundation about her love for Lytho, and how helps her team streamline their workflows, eliminate bottlenecks, and deliver high-quality work on time.
When everyone is on the same page and can see their contributions, it fosters a sense of accomplishment and teamwork.

The How We Feel test by Yale is not just another survey; it's a powerful tool for improving team morale and overall work performance.
This week, Dianne Niklaus discusses how by providing insights into employees' emotional states, organizations can tailor their strategies to boost morale and create a more positive work environment.
The Greenwich Historical Society director of marketing says taking the test regularly, in turn, leads to better collaboration, higher job satisfaction, and increased productivity.
- The location and layout of your workspace can significantly impact your productivity and mental well-being. Jillian Supino handling marketing at Snyder Group from chats with Ryan Geiger this week about the psychology behind the placement of your desk and the design of your home office can influence your focus, creativity, and overall satisfaction with your work environment.

This week, Bryan Bumgardner from Northbeam says "Intense calendar blocking promotes better time estimation."
"Don't try and recreate how you worked in the office, at home," says Bryan.
Intense calendar blocking enhances focus and minimizes multitasking. By allocating specific durations to tasks, you gain a realistic view of how long activities truly take. This insight improves planning and helps you set achievable goals.
TimeEstimation #ProductivityHacks #CalendarBlocking
Working from home presents a unique opportunity to reassess how we structure our workdays.
This week, Abigail Carlen from Newman Architects says minimizing distractions and focusing on essential tasks, we can potentially compress our work hours into a more productive 4-6 hour timeframe.
One approach to achieving this shorter workday is by implementing strict time management techniques. Setting clear goals for the day and prioritizing tasks can help us stay on track and avoid time-consuming detours.
Work from home, but don't let your health take a backseat!

Your virtual presence manifested through an open Zoom call, is a key factor in fostering a culture of accessibility and teamwork.

This week on Remote Routine, we discuss the Pomodoro Technique with Nima Parikh of Wrap Technologies!
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that helps professionals boost productivity and achieve better results in their jobs. It involves breaking work into focused intervals, traditionally 25 minutes long (called "Pomodoros"), followed by a short 5-minute break. After completing four Pomodoros, a longer break of 15-30 minutes is taken.
This technique is effective for several reasons:
- Focus: It encourages deep concentration during each Pomodoro, reducing distractions.
- Time Management: Helps professionals allocate time efficiently to tasks.
- Productivity: Frequent breaks prevent burnout and maintain high productivity levels.
- Task Completion: Breaking work into smaller, manageable chunks promotes task completion.
- Motivation: Achieving Pomodoros gives a sense of accomplishment, boosting motivation.

Be proactive and in the present with Scott Zosel, Senior Marketing Manager with Lano Equipment, as he shares his most successful remote routine tip. SPOILER: With twelve years experience working from home, Scott knows what he is talking about!
In the office we all had high motivation to get our work done knowing that at the day's end we could leave the computer behind and relax at home. However, as work has crept inside of our homes, that is no longer the case. Emails can quickly build up throughout the day and become quite stressful. That's why Scott responds as quickly as he can with something of intelligence and helpfulness - then it's off his plate.
YES, it's that easy. Staying active on your email and having a high response rate will ease your relationship AND work anxieties. Tune in to hear about Scott's experience and how he has modified his #remoteroutine to increase productivity and motivation.

Stop waking up 5 minutes before work.... try this stride for success.
This week we chat with Becky Just, Senior Marketing Manager for 3545 Consulting. Tune in with Becky as she sets up your morning remote routine up for success... by just walking!
Working from home means no more dreaded morning commutes (unless you despise the walk from your bedroom to your dining room table). Having a morning commute sets you up for success and preparation for the workday and as Becky shares, should be included in your #remoteroutine!
Even though there is no set mileage for your morning commute, that doesn't mean that you can't make up your own (even if it's just around the block and back!). This non-negotiable step in Becky's day has let her get her daily steps in AND helped her mentally prepare for the next eight to nine hours she may spend sitting at a desk.
It's time to take out your Fitbit, Apple Watch, or health app on your phone and prepare to start your morning walk and workday off right!

While working remote, we may be abandoning the office, BUT that doesn't mean it's time to abandon your skincare routine. Working for Urban Skin Rx, Elisabeth has become an expert in the importance of keeping a disciplined routine in order to keep your skin tone even and your WFH motivation high.
P.S. don't forget your SPF! You may not be sitting on the beach or by the pool, but your skin still needs sun protection... even at your desk.

This week we chat with Angelica Cantillo, who is working remotely in Colorado, about the importance of investing in a desk chair that provides comfort and facilitates long sitting hours.
It’s about time you ditch the wooden kitchen chair, or unsupportive desk chair, and upgrade tremendously- Angelica did and it’s definitely worth it. While working from home, we’re often sitting in the same position for long periods of time. Without the proper support, this can leave you with back problems and high discomfort levels while trying to be productive.
Even though you might not be a gamer, a gaming chair is just what you need. The comfort goes unmatched and is the highest rated for long sitting hours - 8 hours! Angelica expresses how her remote work became comfortable as her chair provided her back and neck support. She no longer sits hunched over- You can avoid this too.
Is your chair and back ready for an upgrade?
Ultimately, investing in your personal comfort is investing in your WFH career. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

A well-structured agenda helps to allocate time efficiently, ensuring essential tasks are completed while avoiding procrastination. It also promotes accountability and reduces mental clutter, allowing for better decision-making and increased productivity.
How do you prepare for the day?
Ultimately, a daily agenda acts as a powerful tool to stay organized, motivated, and on track towards achieving professional goals. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

In today's fast-paced world, finding a healthy work-life balance is more important than ever. We all know how challenging it can be to disconnect from work when our personal lives are just a swipe away. That's where a work phone comes in to save the day! If you can financially do this, or have your job provide this, you will be able to better disconnect after work and spend more time with family.
Remember, technology should work for us, not overwhelm us. A work phone can be a powerful tool to maintain a healthier work-life balance, protect privacy, boost productivity, and project a professional image.
