The reality of business travel is typically a balancing act between strict timetables, delayed flights, and the ongoing need to be productive while always on the go. Actually finding the ideal location to work, have a meeting, or even just focusing can make all the difference. Here are five tried-and-tested ways to stay productive on work trips – and how Flyers Club makes them easier than ever.
At the airports, there are distractions. Constant flight announcements, voices of people talking all over your ears, trying to concentrate in such a place can become incredibly stressful quite fast. Airport restaurants and crowds of people crowding the boarding gates are not designed to be working on their computers or laptops and the lack of privacy is enough to make two cell phone calls seem very personal.
The most essential aspect when it comes to traveling to work is not merely a seat with power port, you will need a workplace where you will be able to manage your work efficiently. Professional and calm office space also helps to improve concentration and also you are able to stay on your top of everything; you can frame your ideas, and better use of your time.
Time will always hold a significant value during work travel. With stringent timelines, consecutive meetings, and scarce free time, every second matters. Spending extended periods getting to external offices, dealing with traffic, or sitting in hotel lobbies can quickly diminish your productivity levels. Rather, find smart, conveniently organized meetings that do not add up to much of travel time, and allow you to make the most out of the day. Through choosing a location right outside or in the airport, you will be able to immerse yourself into business the second you step onto the ground or the second before you leave without the additional pressure of urban transportation. This does not only save valuable time, but also makes discussions more efficient, focused and held in the professional and comfortable environment.
You do not have to waste your valuable time upon waiting a flight or experiencing a layover. As you commute to work, recover the work, review the presentation, or organize your future work, traveling is an excellent opportunity to work on the most important tasks. The trick behind being prepared is to have a clean to-do list so that you can spring into action as far as your work is concerned. It is more than possible to be incredibly effective even in small groups of 30 minutes as long as you remain focused and in the proper mindset. When you have scheduled the day before and maximized on these transitional periods, you will be able to manage your workload and relax a bit later in the day.
A crashed battery and Wi-Fi with unstable connection can easily ruin the working process, when the time is of the essence. The irritating part about it is when during video calling your connection drops out or when the battery runs out as you were about to send an important mail. The best things to avoid such interruptions will be to fully charge your gadgets before spending a trip and you should also carry power banks as backup just in case. It is also necessary to choose a working place where it is possible to find a reliable source of high-speed internet with easy access to charging stations so that you are never caught without a device charged. Physical elements are also necessary in ensuring productivity, such as refreshments and comfortable seats, and relaxed environment to help you remain focused, and capable of retaining constant energy especially on travel days.
Every second of a business trip should be dedicated to high-impact activities, not to figuring out where to reserve a conference room, how to obtain dependable Wi-Fi, or where to locate a peaceful location to work. It may be rather exhausting and time-consuming to handle these little but important details yourself. Choose services or places that provide concierge support, taking care of all aspects, including room bookings, technology configuration, refreshments, and business requirements. You can concentrate on what's important, like your work, your meetings, and your goals without any needless friction now that you're free from these logistical concerns.
