Working from different cities is easier than it sounds – if you plan for bad Wi-Fi, time zones and long days on the move.
1. Stay productive
- Download files and offline maps before you travel.
- Add a world clock for your clients' or team's time zones.
- Choose cafes and co-working spaces with reliable Wi-Fi and power, and keep a mobile data backup.
2. Stay healthy
- Take short walks between work blocks.
- Keep a simple stretching or exercise routine you can do anywhere.
- Drink water and keep meals simple while travelling.
3. Pack the right kit
- Laptop, charger and a power bank
- Headphones for calls
- A cable pouch so leads don't tangle
