🪞 Reflect

How are you progressing toward your remote work goals for this year? 

💡 Concept

Take a moment to reflect on the remote work goals you set at the beginning of the year. Have you been actively working toward achieving these goals? Are there any adjustments or recalibrations needed to stay on track? 

Setting clear and measurable goals is essential for success in remote work environments. Regularly checking in on your remote work goals demonstrates a commitment to personal and professional growth. By assessing progress, identifying challenges, and making necessary adjustments, you set yourself up for continued success in navigating the challenges and opportunities of remote work.

And if you didn’t set any remote work goals at the beginning of the year, consider setting one now. Here are some areas you might focus on:

• Visibility: Share your personal contributions, focus on impression management, and start building your personal brand. 

• Advocacy: Make the business case for remote work. Speak up for remote workers who are not in the room. 

• Communication: Adopt more async practices, run better virtual meetings, and improve the clarity and efficiency of your written communications. 

• Leadership: Stop micromanaging. Focus on teambuilding. 

• Connections: Expand your professional network, reconnect with old colleagues, and spend time developing meaningful work relationships.  

• Digital tool fluency: Learn how to use new tools, improve your proficiency using existing tools, and, when possible, teach others to use them, too. 

• Balance: Set and maintain boundaries. Make sure you regularly disconnect from work.

🎬 Take Action

Set aside time to review your remote work goals and assess your progress toward achieving them. Here's a suggested approach:

• Goal Review: Start by revisiting the goals you set at the beginning of the year, ensuring your goals are clearly defined and measurable so you can track your progress effectively.

• Alignment with Priorities: Reflect on whether your goals still align with your current priorities and objectives and make adjustments as needed. 

• Progress Assessment: Evaluate the progress you've made toward each goal, celebrating accomplishments and acknowledging areas where improvement is needed.

• Identify Challenges: Identify any challenges or obstacles that may have hindered progress toward your goals.

• Recommitment: Reaffirm your commitment to achieving your remote work goals, outlining specific next steps and strategies to move forward effectively.
