The Future of WFH:
Work from Anywhere
When all you need is Wi-Fi, it’s easier than ever to live like a digital nomad. Here’s how to work remotely the right way.
As WFH has become the new normal for many, some of us could use a change of scenery, to refresh our work from home routine. Luckily, with the right remote working tips and tools, you no longer have to limit yourself to the same familiar quarters. Here’s how to work from anywhere—and get it all done seamlessly.
Stay connected, even from afar
Ever wonder what it would be like to work from a cosy cabin in the woods, or at a tiny beachside house, undisturbed? Even though travelling can seem tricky right now, there are still plenty of options for a temporary home away from home. If you’re settling into a fairly remote area, where you may experience hiccups in your internet signal, you’ll appreciate features like Auto Hotspot on the Galaxy Tab S7, which can tether mobile data or a Wi-Fi connection from your phone. Perfect for that can’t-miss project check-in or presentation call with your client.
Hint: Just switch on Auto Hotspot in your connection settings under Mobile Hotspot and Tethering on your Galaxy Note20. Then, head to your Wi-Fi settings on your other device (like your tablet). You’ll see that your phone is listed as a Wi-Fi network. Then simply tap the hotspot to connect to it.
Stretch your productivity across screens
The struggle of not having a desktop monitor is real. But for the sake of travelling, your tablet can serve as a portable second screen. Use your Samsung Notes app to jot down notes from your virtual meetings that you recorded on your Galaxy Note20. Then, enlarge and expand your ideas by copying and pasting them directly onto your Tab S7 to continue where you left off. Need to transfer folders or multiple files? Connect your phone and tablet to Samsung Flow to share content across both devices.
Create a wish list to maximise free time
Lists are a foolproof way to bring order out of chaos and increase efficiency. Stay on top of your tasks for the day by creating two lists: one to-do list and one list of things you’d like to do. The second can include anything you’d like to do when you’ve finished work — whether it’s exploring your new surroundings or even whipping up that fancy meal you found online. Then, set up your tasks with midday reminders and sync them across your Galaxy Note20 and your Tab S7 (in case you get distracted from surfing on one device). Having a list of things to do in both categories can provide a sense of accountability to help you stay on task and give you something exciting to work towards.
If you need help getting into the zone in your new space, use the Active Noise Cancellation feature on your Galaxy Buds Live. Whether you're tuning in to an ambient playlist while you work or answering important calls, the earbuds will reduce the amount of background noise flowing in, so you can focus on ticking off the items on your to-do list, wherever you are.
