Between beach days and OOO replies, summer gives us a rare thing: breathing room. Joke suggests using that space to reassess what’s really worth your time, energy, and focus. From asking “am I working on the right things?” to mapping your daily energy like a productivity chart, she guides us through building a smarter, more human calendar.
As remote work becomes a staple, it blurs the boundaries between home and office, making it tough to disconnect. Each of us have our own unique approach to this, with some needing firm boundaries and others blending work with life’s daily flow. Through insightful tips, Joke offers us guidance on how to manage this delicate balance, establish effective boundaries, and foster teamwork that respects diverse work-life integration styles, leading to a healthier and more productive remote work experience.
People are complicated, even more complicated than the products we make. So why can't we have manuals for ourselves? Well, Joke tells us we can, sharing how personal manuals can lead to more efficient and inclusive teams by offering insights into one another's work preferences, communication styles, and interests.
Joke shares what agency life is like as a "Highly Sensitive Person" with a heightened sensitivity to the noises, sounds, and smells in the office, and uses her experiences to share advice on how to survive in an agency, whether or not you are an HSP, and take better care of yourself in the process.
