Disappearing Act - Deepstash

Disappearing Act

The approach for working from home for your office work - 

  1. Use a pre-planned project or emergency and take two weeks out of the office.
  2. Propose how you can work remotely.
  3. Make those two weeks the most productive at work.
  4. Show your boss the quantifiable results upon returning. Suggest two or three days at home per week as a trial for two weeks. Make them ultra-productive.
  5. Suggest only one day in the office per week. Make those days the least productive of the week
  6. Suggest complete mobility.
