When you're on a long-term business stay, productivity can start to feel like a moving target. New surroundings, jet lag, a different routine—it all adds up. But seasoned travelers have learned how to stay focused, organized, and in control no matter where they land. Here’s how you can, too.
1. Set a Routine Right Away
The faster you establish your daily rhythm, the better. Wake up at the same time. Plan meals. Set a consistent block for deep work. A familiar structure reduces mental fatigue.
2. Designate a "Work Zone" in Your Space
Whether it’s a desk, a cozy corner, or the kitchen table with a good view, define a place for work. ABODES apartments are designed with flexible layouts to help you find that groove without feeling confined.
3. Minimize Digital Clutter
When you’re working remotely, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by email, Slack, and app overload. Try time-blocking your notifications or using a task management tool like Todoist or Trello to keep things clear.
4. Take Advantage of Your Environment
One of the perks of working from a new city is the energy it brings. Use breaks for short walks, coffee runs, or even just to admire the view. A quick change of scenery can reset your focus.
5. Prioritize Sleep and Self-Care
Productivity isn't just about output—it’s about sustainability. Make your temporary home feel like a real retreat. At ABODES, we aim to provide restful, quiet spaces with calming design to help you recharge.
