Time Management Secrets for Digital Nomads
The perks of being a digital nomad are pretty incredible — Vinyasa Yoga classes in the afternoon, long, leisurely lunches, getting to a bar just as happy hour starts to finish out the work day with a margarita..
The downside is — you never feel like the work day is done. It’s easy to keep putting off work until later, right up until you find yourself staying up until 2am, waking up later and later each morning, or not feeling like the progress you are making is enough.
In short, being a digital nomad can be both heaven and hell.
I’m lucky to be able to take my work anywhere I travel. In 2018 I spent almost five months on the road — in Japan, Israel, Russia, China, Korea, and back in the US — here are the best tips I learned to organize my time and use it effectively:
1. Start your day off with a routine that makes YOU happy.
A routine is essential. But this doesn’t mean that need to wake up at 6am, drink a turmeric latte, meditate, and achieve inner peace by 6:30am.
