The power of routine
“The whole idea of work-life balance implies a zero-sum game in which your work is somehow in opposition to your actual life. But the real joy of remote work comes from removing that friction, and instead shaping your work and your workday so that they are fully integrated with the life you want to live. If you can find a rhythm that makes your day feel like a naturally unfolding sequence, rather than a constant struggle to pull your attention back to your work, you will be much happier and more effective. The right routines will also ensure you eat, sleep, and exercise in a way that supports your productivity, health, and happiness.”

Pozen and Alexandra Samuel describe the mindset that lets people thrive when they’re working remotely, whether full-time or in combination with time at the office.
