Distraction is a cheat of time. You may be spending too much time on the new assignment at that coffee shop. If you are free of fixed working hours, you can’t compromise on your working hours. You want to be as productive as anyone else.
With a laptop, a smartphone, a stable internet connection and a pair of headphones, you can isolate yourself from the noises of the outer world and focus on your amazing work. Digital normads are as productive as everyone else. But the distractions can be overwhelming.

Hi Thomas, thanks for the cool list of tools! Have you ever heard of Hubstaff? I use their time tracking tool for all of my remote work, and I liked them so much I reached out and got them as a client :)
