My partner is currently working in Nashville so it\u2019s pretty important to be able to have the flexibility to come down here.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueskycommunications.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/P1100124-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"normal alignnone size-large wp-image-2037\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueskycommunications.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/P1100124-1-1024x700.jpg\" alt=\"P1100124-1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Having the option of mobile working\u00a0opens up so many different possibilities \u2013 meeting new people, learning new ways of doing things, seeing how businesses in other cities operate and market themselves.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueskycommunications.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/P1100076-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"normal alignnone size-large wp-image-2035\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueskycommunications.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/P1100076-3-1024x700.jpg\" alt=\"P1100076-3\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are a few key things that I\u2019ve learned go a long way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINDING A SCHEDULE<\/strong>.<br \/>\nIt can be hard to find the start and end of the day. Nashville is an hour behind from Toronto, so often I find myself starting quite early and working later. I like to pick a start and end time \u2013 with scheduled breaks. The schedule is flexible, but at least I have a rough idea and it\u2019s what works best for me. I find when I have times blocked out, I can be more productive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DESIGNATING A WORKSPACE<\/strong>.<br \/>\nI can, and do, work where ever I\u2019d like. Whether it be the couch, the patio or a coffee shop, but I\u2019ve found having a dedicated workspace is beneficial. I use a small desk here to organize my notes, and everything work related. It\u2019s nice to have the desk option when I need it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueskycommunications.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/P1100086-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"normal alignnone size-large wp-image-2036\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blueskycommunications.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/P1100086-4-1024x700.jpg\" alt=\"P1100086-4\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>CHANGING THE SCENERY<\/strong>.<br \/>\nI need my laptop, a decent WiFi connection, and my phone. If I have these things, I can work from virtually anywhere. While I\u2019m here I like to switch it up. I have a few different favourite cafes where I work best and the apartment that I like to move in between. I find changing where I am throughout the week keeps me productive, plus you get those added benefits of meeting new people and seeing how things work at local businesses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>COMMUNICATION IS KEY<\/strong>.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s crucial in any career, regardless of where you’re working from \u2013 whether an office or remotely. Regardless\u00a0of where everyone is, we always catch up via an internal meeting to make sure we’re all on track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tara Bolger \u00a0Many studies have suggested different things when […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2046,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[102,103,104],"class_list":["post-2030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-mobile-worker","tag-pubic-relations","tag-telecommuting"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>PR Agency Toronto | Communications & Public Relations<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Toronto-based Blue Sky Communications is a Public Relations Agency that bets on creative thinking and big perspective.
