There’s nothing worse than being in the middle of a podcast an have an internet outage. Outages are going to happen and while I am a fan of taking advantage of the surprise break, somedays you don’t have hours of time to spare. Have off-line projects ready to go if an unexpected outage happens. Reading documents or typing out messages take time that can fill up the wait time so productivity isn’t a total loss. It can also be an opportunity to have a face-to-face meeting that you’ve been wanting to carve time out for. Our technology is great but don’t let your productivity be at its mercy.
