I’ve been balancing my consulting gig with solo travel for the past year. One trick I learned is mapping out my work schedule by time zone before each trip. For instance, during my Costa Rica stay, I shifted my working hours to early mornings, taking advantage of the quiet to maximize productivity. This way, I had my afternoons free to explore the beaches.

Great point! I apply a similar strategy. In Asia, I find myself working late at night due to time zone differences with my European clients. It’s not for everyone, but the reward is having the day to enjoy and network with local businesses for potential collaborations.

Time management on the road can be tricky. I use the Pomodoro Technique to keep my writing sessions focused. My goal is to churn out 1,000 words before lunch. It’s all about setting boundaries and not letting the allure of a new city disrupt my workflow.

I struggle with maintaining a routine. Any suggestions for someone who finds constant travel distracting? I tend to get lost in a new place’s charm, and before I know it, work deadlines are looming.

Jane, I can relate. I started dedicating my Mondays to planning my week. I use Trello boards to outline tasks and allocate them based on my travel schedule. It gives me clarity and keeps me on track.

For me, the key was identifying my peak productivity hours, which happens to be mid-morning. As a marketer, I schedule client calls during this time and reserve less intensive tasks for when I’m lower on energy.
