Overview
The increased rise in remote work leaves many of us working in solitude away from co-workers, friends and fellow coursemates 😉.
We discovered a way to recreate a productive remote working environment was using a Pomodoro Timer + Zoom calls for deep work. Work sessions are a great way to hold yourself accountable when working on tasks, we understand how easy it is to get distracted when working alone 😄.
