The 2 kinds of distractions
- Sensory distractions (External): The things happening around us, like colleagues talking, phones ringing, people moving around us, music playing, etc.

Assembling the Team
... that's capable of executing in a remote setup:
- Hire doers: they will get stuff done even if they are working from a secluded island.

Software/Tools
In a remote team, you'll need the right tools to make sure everyone stays on the same page and can continue to execute without a physical person standing next to them.

- Automate anything that can be automated.
