Working from anywhere in the world is a wonderful perk of having a cloud-based office. You can travel to exciting destinations for work while effortlessly bringing your projects and files with you. However, even for a business owner, it can be a challenge to stay on task in a new environment. Here are our favorite ways to increase on-the-road productivity levels:
1. Preschedule Your Time
During a business trip, you’re typically required to complete many tasks during a limited timespan. To ensure your projects stay on track without missing a single meeting, it’s vital to carefully schedule your time in advance. If you don’t want to lug around a paper agenda, there are plenty of free planning apps available for both iPhones and Android phones. Sticking to your schedule, rather than rushing around at the last minute, can also reduce your stress levels and help you to stay relaxed during work-related events.
2. Minimize Distractions
The most difficult part of corporate traveling is the high level of distraction. If you’re in a new city, it’s natural to want to look around and take time for yourself. However, when you’re traveling on business, you can’t shy away from your duties. To maximize your productivity, try finding a quiet place where you can work undisturbed. Many hotels offer 24-hour business centers on-site; or, if you’re less prone to distraction, working in a local café is a great way enjoy the city’s ambiance during business hours.
3. Make Every Moment Count
Don’t think of long flights or train rides as an annoyance. Those stretches of uninterrupted time offer you the perfect opportunity to get some work done in a peaceful, calm environment. In today’s modern world, most airlines even provide free in-flight wifi, so you can log into your workplace’s cloud system and finalize that upcoming presentation you’ve been putting off.
4. Reward Yourself
If you’ve spent the entire day at meetings, or have mingled with high-powered clients for two nights in a row, you deserve a break. The best part of corporate trips is getting a taste of an unfamiliar city and everything it has to offer. Knowing you’ll have a chance to unwind later on makes it easier to focus on your work-related duties too.
