And you make note of that or hear comments of someone saying, man, I have 300 emails not even track. So maybe email is not the best communication for that person. I am the kind of person, when I use my email as a to do list. So I go through my email and I’m like, okay, I got to do this. So I can give an example.

You know, you and I could golf on the golf course. And for me, if you and I could go from this virtual golf course where we just have like a fun round of nine holes and then go directly towards the meeting space and work out on something or work on something business related. I think time zones have an impact on that to a degree.

But I think that when you cross borders or more importantly, time zones, you really have to rethink how you’re going to organize a company. But actually what we ended up doing is just send a lot more emails and communicate a lot more. Oh, I don’t need to write long emails anymore. You had to show up early.

The good thing about on-line courses, is anyone can do it from anywhere. When it gets closer to the course date and it doesnt look like they will fill the seats, they offer the course at a cheaper price. They can slot you into courses, either online or live classrooms that are happening tomorrow or later on.

Deciding on the best course policy for your workplace can be tricky. Remote workers tend to be more likely to stay late or answer emails after work hours as they don’t get the physical act of leaving the office like in-person workers do. 65% of remote workers report working more hours than they had while working in the office.
