Summary

Remote work offers numerous benefits for productivity, including fewer distractions, streamlined communication, flexible schedules, and the ability to own one's productivity. By pulling internal communication out of inboxes, relying on the right tools, using differing schedules to advantage, skipping commutes, canceling meetings, thinking before speaking, setting up a productive environment, and owning one's productivity, remote workers can significantly boost their output. While there are downsides, such as difficulty communicating via traditional channels and internet connectivity issues, these can be mitigated with the right tools and strategies. Ultimately, the ability to work faster in a remote team structure is not inherent, but rather a result of intentional effort and adaptation by both employers and employees.
