If
I
could
boil
it
down,
I
do
three
things:
I
set
an
alarm
every
single
day,
I
think
it's
really
easy
to
get
into
the
habit
of
sleeping
in
or
not
having
that
wake-up
time.
So
I
set
that
alarm
every
single
day,
I
also
get
dressed
for
work
every
day.
I
think
it's
easy
to
get
in
your
sweatpants
or
yoga
pants
and
just
say
whatever
right,
but
I
I
dressed
for
work
every
day
and
then
the
other
thing
I
do
is
I
like
to
have
a
workspace
that
is
clearly
different
from
my
personal
space.

Hello
and
welcome
to
a
new
weekly
webinar
from
Gila
each
week,
we'll
take
around
30
minutes
to
talk
about
the
realities
of
remote
work,
we'll
tackle
the
real
challenges,
ask
the
hard
questions
and,
of
course,
try
not
to
take
ourselves
too
seriously.
Hi,
I'm
darren
head
of
remote
at
gate
lab
the
world's
largest
automotive
company.
B
During
these
interesting
times,
we
want
to
share
some
of
the
best
practices
that
our
team
has
pulled
together
from
our
years
of
working
as
an
all
remote
company
each
week,
we'll
uncover
some
of
the
tips,
tricks
and
insights
gleaned
from
within
get
lab
and
from
partners
in
the
industry.
We
know
there's
a
lot
of
great
content
out
there,
so
we
want
ours
to
be
digestible,
actionable
and,
of
course,
as
fun
as
possible.
B
Among
other
things,
we'll
talk
about
how
other
companies
have
transitioned
to
remote
will
have
special
interviews
from
tech
leaders
that
are
enabling
this
virtual
future
or
present
that
we're
living
in
today.
We'll
ask
some
burning
questions
like
what's
in
your
tool,
stack
well
digest
some
of
the
terminology
like
what's
a
DRI,
what's
the
difference
between
remote,
first
and
all
remote,
we'll
also
take
a
look
at
home
office
setups.
A
B
A
A
B
Gonna
touch
a
bit
on
home
office
spaces,
but
I
just
want
to
queue
a
little
snippet
about
why
having
a
dedicated
space
is
so
important
if
you're
in
a
home,
big
enough
that
you
can
devote
a
room
to
it.
That's
ideal
if
you're
in
a
small
one
or
the
bedroom
apartment,
find
something
that's
makeshift,
even
if
you
just
hang
a
curtain
or
a
towel
or
something
to
block
off
a
space
where
you're
going
to
work
so
that
it
creates
clear
delineation
between
where
you're
working
and
where
you're
living
that
physical
separation
is
absolutely
key.
B
Burnout
is
a
real
thing
and
it
is
definitely
possible
to
get
burned
out
when
you're
working
from
home
and
it's
important
to
make
intentional
efforts
to
separate
work
from
life,
because
it's
all
too
easy
for
sleep
to
just
kind
of
blur
into
work
to
just
kind
of
blur
into
sleeping
again
and
you
lose
track
of
time
lose
track
of
your
identity.
So
if
you're
just
shifting
to
remote
now,
one
thing
I
would
recommend,
is
proactively
planning
the
time
that
you
would
usually
spend
commuting.
B
So
maybe
you
proactively
plan
to
just
rest
more
totally,
fine,
but
replace
it
with
something
proactively,
replace
it
with
cooking
or
place
it
with
exercise,
replace
it
with
elearning
with
your
children,
replace
it
with
calling
relatives
or
friends,
replace
it
with
writing
notes
or
a
gratitude
journal.
Anything
but
be
deliberate
about
replacing
it
with
something.
This
helps
you
to
wake
up,
wrap
into
the
day,
doing
something
intentional
in
place
of
the
commute
and
then
ramping
out
of
the
day,
doing
something
in
place
of
the
commute
and
you'll.
B
A
lot
more
awesome
than
the
actual
commute
and
you'll
probably
see
them
once
that
genie
is
out
of
the
bottle.
You're
gonna
have
a
hard
time
going
back
and
you'll
start
to
understand
why
Motors
love
the
freedom
and
autonomy
that
they
have
don't
stop
engaging
with
people
if
you
normally
communicate
with
people
around
the
coffee,
machine
or
water-cooler,
keep
doing
that
as
I
mentioned,
you
just
have
to
be
a
little
bit
more
proactive
about
that.
An
experiment
with
some
video
based
chat
tools.
B
It's
also
something
to
consider
if
you're
a
team
leader
to
just
have
a
soom
link,
that's
kind
of
always
on
kind
of
like
a
hotel
lobby.
So
if
anybody
wants
to
come,
hang
out
we're
here
in
the
hotel
lobby,
you
come
when
you
please
leave
when
you
please
no
expectations.
Let's
just
hang
out
all
right
so
now
that
we're
back
from
that
Sarah.
What
are
the
ways
that
you
set
a
routine
and
define
your
workspace
yeah.
A
That's
a
really
good
question,
so
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
ideas
out
in
the
internet
right
now
about
what
it
means
to
be
remote
and
how
to
be
remote
and
a
lot
of
people
wonder
like
are
all
of
these
things.
What
I
should
be
doing,
and
so
for
me,
I
try
to
do
three
things.
If
I
could
boil
it
down,
I
do
three
things:
I
set
an
alarm
every
single
day,
I
think
it's
really
easy
to
get
into
the
habit
of
sleeping
in
or
not
having
that
wake-up
time.
A
So
I
set
that
alarm
every
single
day,
I
also
get
dressed
for
work
every
day.
I
think
it's
easy
to
get
in
your
sweat,
pants
or
your
yoga,
pants
and
just
say
whatever
right,
but
I
dress
for
work
every
day
and
then
the
other
thing
I
do
is
I
like
to
have
a
workspace
that
is
clearly
different
from
my
personal
space.
B
Ideal,
look:
you
can
devote
an
entire
space
in
your
home,
but
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
people
that
have
been
thrust
into
remote
and
they
live
in
a
one-bedroom
apartment
and
so
come
on.
Everything
happens
in
one
room,
so
if
you
don't
have
the
luxury
of
a
dedicated
room
or
dedicated
space,
even
changing
chairs
can
signal.
This
is
where
work
happens,
and
this
is
where
life
happens.
I
want
to
ask
you
one
more
thing
on
the
routine,
so
I've
advised
people
that
have
become
suddenly
remote.
B
Hours
are
different
than
the
rigid
nine-to-five.
It
gives
you
the
freedom
to
do
that.
It
enables
what
I
like
to
call
a
nonlinear
workday,
so
I'm
curious
if
you've
experimented
with
that
or
what
the
timing
looks
like
when
you
can
say
alright,
I'm
familiar
enough
with,
what's
going
on,
let's
experiment
with
breaking
up
the
day
a
little
bit
yeah.
A
For
sure
so,
I
think,
when
you're
first
new
to
remote
or
your
first
new
into
a
new
remote
situation,
it's
nice
to
have
that
structure
right.
My
manager
is
gonna,
know
that
I'm
on
from
this
time.
They
know
when
they
can
reach
me,
but
once
you've
kind
of
established
what
you're
doing
and
who
you
are.
You
can
be
a
little
bit
more
flexible
with
that.
A
B
Just
kind
of
letting
people
know
where
you're
going
and
it
also
just
kind
of
folds
into
having
a
non-judgmental
culture
around
things
like
that,
you
want
to
make
sure
people
can
actually
leave
their
desk,
just
as
they
would
at
an
office
to
go.
Take
care
of
things
like
that,
so
speaking
of
that
gate,
lab
actually
does
have
a
few
sub
values
that
come
into
play.
So
I
want
to
queue
a
snippet
talking
about
note,
ego
and
low
level
of
shame.
Two
of
my
very
favorite
sub
Bal
use.
Here's
a
sting.
C
I
would
say
that
both
no
ego
and
low
level
of
shame
they
sort
of
overlap
for
me,
they're
almost
2
sides
of
the
same
coin
in
that
I
have
noticed
in
my
time
a
good
lab
that
the
the
no
ego
sort
of
allows
you
to
be
a
little
more
resilient
when
dealing
with
other
people.
So
you
know,
you've
got
the
ability
to
put
yourself
out
there
a
little
bit
and
take
risks,
which
is
the
the
low
level
of
shame.
C
You
know
not
worrying
too
much
about
the
anxiety
that
typically
associates
and
the
companies
that
and
then
the
no
ego
is
the
sort
of
flip
and
counter
side
to
that.
Where,
if
you
strip
ego
away
from
your
interactions
with
people,
it
becomes
a
little
more
resilient
and
a
little
more
buffered
for
lack
of
a
bit
term
as
to
making
that
conversation
flow
better
and
any
potential
problems
that
arise
end
up
being
little
more
than
hiccups
on
coal.
All.
B
Right
we're
back
Sarah.
How
do
you
work
and
communicate
with
your
team
asynchronously
and
for
those
that
aren't
aware
asynchronous
is
work
happening
when
people
aren't
necessarily
online
at
the
same
time
or
in
the
same
meeting
room
at
the
same
time.
This
is
what
we
would
call
synchronous,
work,
yeah.
A
So
my
team,
my
immediate
team,
were
in
different
time
zones.
So
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we
do
is
asynchronous
and
so
for
our
team,
it's
particularly
important
to
collaborate
in
the
issues
and
just
providing
status,
updates
and
notes
in
there.
So
everybody
knows
where
we
are
with
the
project
and
they
can
pick
it
up.
You
know
from
where
you
left
it
off
and
the
other
thing
for
my
team,
but
this
is
the
culture
and
the
nature
of
my
team
were
really
friendly
team.
A
So
we
do
a
lot
of
communication
in
slack
and
we
rely
heavily
on
gifts
to
convey
our
our
feelings
and
emotions.
I
had
when
I
first
on
boarded
at
gate
lab.
My
onboarding
buddy
told
me
that
it's
really
important
to
use
emojis,
because
sometimes
your
text
just
doesn't
come
through
the
way
you
mean
it
to
so
we
take
a
look
one
step
further
and
we
use
a
lot
of
gifts
as
well.
I
like.
B
That
one
of
the
first
things
I
did
in
my
tenure
here
is
actually
added
a
handbook
section
on
it's:
okay
to
use,
emoji
and
actually
cited
a
University
study
where
they
looked
at
remote
teams
and
they
found
that
for
remote
teams,
the
more
use
of
emoji
in
business
communication,
the
more
that
people
actually
empathize
and
understood
each
other,
so
I
think
one
thing
the
remote
is
doing
is
breaking
down
some
of
the
stigma
around
hey.
Is
it
okay
to
use
an
emoji
or
a
gift
and
business
communication
when
you're.
C
B
The
same
office,
it's
like
absolutely,
yes,
anything
that
you
can
do
to
add
depth
and
precision
to
whatever
you're
trying
to
convey
it,
helps
teams
empathize
and
build
those
bonds
with
each
other.
That's
awesome:
I
love
the
thing
about
gifts,
so
whatever
it
is,
for
your
team
find
something
that
you
can
connect
that
live-ins
up
the
text.
It's
just
a
bit.
Yes,.
A
For
sure
I
I'm
sure
lots
of
people
are
like
this.
It's
just
back-to-back
calls
at
this
point
in
your
life,
maybe
more
so
than
you
ever
had
before
I'm
fortunate
to
live
in
a
space
where
I
have
a
little
bit
of
green
space
in
the
backyard.
So
if
I
have
five
minutes,
I
get
up
from
my
chair
and
I.
Take
the
time
to
walk
outside
to
the
backyard
walk
around
the
garden
say
hello
to
a
butterfly.
A
B
And
I
would
say
for
anyone
listening.
You
really
have
to
be
intentional
about
this
when
you're
working
remotely,
especially
for
the
first
time,
it
is
very
easy
to
just
get
stuck
in
your
chair
and
just
plow
through
the
day
and
then
just
keep
going
and
never
actually
give
yourself
permission
to
stand
up,
because
the
reality
is
something
is
always
happening,
especially
in
an
asynchronous
team
where
you
have
people
around
the
globe
contributing
to
their
different
projects
at
different
times.
B
So,
if
you
just
kind
of
wait
for
the
perfect
time
to
get
up
and
actually
stretch,
your
legs
go,
get
some
fresh
air,
it
might
not
happen
so
in
a
remote
setting,
you
have
to
say
I'm
taking
permission
I'm,
giving
myself
permission
to
go.
Do
this,
and
you
have
to
do
that.
It's
it's
one
of
the
ways
that
we
actively
work
to
prevent
burnout
and
isolation
all
right,
sir.
So
on
to
the
good
stuff,
can
we
have
a
tour
of
your
home
office?
Okay,.
A
B
Speaking
of
gifts
actually
saw
one
over
the
week
there
was
a
late
night
toast.
He
was
sitting
on
the
left
side
of
his
couch
frantically
typing
away
on
his
laptop,
and
then
he
threw
his
hands
up
and
said:
oh
thankfully,
it
is
now
the
weekend
and
then
he
got
up
shifted
over
to
the
right
side
of
the
couch,
Rijo
pinned
his
laptop
and
then
presumably
went
to
watch
Netflix.
But
the
point
it
might
look
similar.
But
the
mental
shift
means
a
lot
yeah
deliberate
about
trying
to
separate
work.
B
Desks
but
just
having
that
open
dialogue
between
the
folks
that
are
working
together
and
obviously
you
can
probably
hear
my
child
and
wife
behind
me.
We
all
share
spaces
to
some
degree
and
I.
Think
that's
one
of
the
cool
things
about
remote
is
it
breaks
down?
The
stigma
of
your
office
needs
to
be
some
pristine,
boardrooms
kind
of
mimic
the
office
that
conceivably
you
left
and.
B
Realizing,
that's
that's
not
practical
and
it's
not
necessary.
It's.
It
actually
humanizes
it
quite
a
bit
to
recognize
that
hey
we're
all
seeing
each
other's
home
or
workspaces
and
we're
all
humans
first
and
colleagues.
Second,
so
I
can
definitely
appreciate
that
I
want
to
wrap
this
one
up
by
asking
you
a
question.
I've
been
told
that
you
could
lead
us
and
help
us
in
a
breathing
exercise
to
help
us
get,
grounded
and
make
sure
there's
balance
in
our
life
so
take
it
away.
Yeah.
A
A
B
Pretty
great
yeah,
it
doesn't
take
anything
extravagant,
it
just
takes
intentionality,
and
actually
we
talk
about
intentionality
a
lot
at
get
Lab
and
how
we
work.
But
it's
pretty
fascinating
that
that
even
applies
to
taking
a
breather
from
work
and
kind
of
resetting
yourself
and
you're
right.
That
could
happen
even
between
calls,
even
if
you
only.
C
B
One
or
two
minutes
between
calls
helps
you
kind
of
reset
and
get
back
in
the
zone.
Awesome.
Well.
Thank
you.
So
much
Sara.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
and
helping
us
kick
off
this
weekly
webcast
next
week.
We're
gonna
focus
on
the
ideal
tools
needed
to
thrive
as
a
remote
team,
and
if
you
have
questions,
please
tweet
us
at
kit
lab
and
we'll
try
to
work.
B
Those
into
the
next
episode
be
sure
to
connect
with
us
on
LinkedIn
and
Twitter
visit
all
remote
info
for
all
of
our
all
remote
guides,
as
well
as
our
remote
work
report
in
the
free,
remote
playbook,
where
we
package
all
of
our
best
learnings
up
into
one
easy
to
digest
ebook,
we
can't
wait
to
talk
more
soon
and
until
then
stay
cozy
be
excellent
to
one
another.
A
little
hop
and.
