I’ve been working remotely nearly 2 decades (!!!), and there are a few products that I credit for staying focused:
Time cube + Forest app - the app “locks” me out of my phone so I can give a specific task my full focus for the duration of the timer. I start with a 5 minute timer to handle a quick task or two, a 15 minute timer for my first writing block. If I’m in the groove, I’ll set a 30 minute timer to continue my writing block, or I’ll take a 5 minute break to needlepoint or read through my saved articles in Pocket before jumping back into writing.
A candle warmer and Hotel Lobby Candle’s Spa scent - I don’t know what it is about this candle that snaps me into focus mode, but it does. The candle warmer helps extend the life of my candles and add a warm glow to my desk.
Spiritune - this music therapy app lets me select my current mood, the mood I want to feel, which mode I’m in (focus or relax), and it creates the perfect playlist to help me get into the mood I need.
