147. Office, Remote, or Hybrid? Pros, Cons, and the Hidden Skills You Need to Thrive in Each
Episode 147
Most of us know the obvious pros and cons of various work environments. If you work in an office, you have a clear separation of personal and professional life. Working remotely means you can wear your comfy pants during all your Zoom calls. And hybrid essentially means you get to do what you want.
But there's a lot more to each of these work environments than meets the eye.
In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I'm diving deep into the lesser-talked-about pros and cons of each workplace setup, as well as the hidden skills required to thrive in each environment.
This episode is important because each of the three environments requires an invisible skill set that has nothing to do with your actual job, and lacking that skill set can make everything harder than it needs to be.
What You Learn:
The real pros and cons of working in the office, from home, and in a hybrid setup (including a few downsides you've probably never considered)
The executive function skills each work environment requires, and why almost nobody connects their skills to where they work
Why choosing a work environment that doesn't match your skill set can tank your productivity and make you dread your job
What context switching does to your focus, and how to avoid it
The biggest mistake hybrid workers make when planning their week, and how to get the best of both environments instead of the worst
The question almost no one asks before choosing a work environment, and how to tell if your struggles at work come down to a missing skill
