Define Non-Negotiables and Fluid Blocks

Identify the immovable pillars: client calls, workouts, finances, and personal rituals. In Chiang Mai, Tuesday mornings became my sacred budget hour at a quiet café, headphones on, spreadsheets open. What weekly anchor keeps your traveling life grounded and honest?

Design movable 60–90-minute blocks for deep work, admin, and creative sprints. Label them by task type, not time, so you can drop them anywhere your day allows. Comment with your favorite city-café combo for a reliable deep work session.

Run a 20-minute Sunday reset: review wins, renegotiate priorities, and reshuffle blocks around routes and check-ins. In Lisbon, that ritual saved a launch week after a surprise apartment move. Want my checklist? Subscribe, and I’ll send the template.

The 24-Hour Arc Map

Sketch a simple circle for your day and mark sleep, deep work, and collaboration windows. Add teammates’ arcs to find two dependable overlaps. A shared world clock and scheduled updates reduce stress and prevent midnight pings. Try it this week and report back.

Follow-the-Sun Collaboration

Work like a relay team: hand off progress with clear notes and video walk-throughs so others can sprint while you sleep. We used this across Bali, Berlin, and Boston to ship a product faster than co-located teams. Tag a teammate who’d love this flow.

Jet Lag and Ultradian Rhythm Sync

Plan deep work in your natural 90-minute energy waves, especially after long-haul flights. Keep collaboration in short, high-signal check-ins until your body clock catches up. What post-flight routine gets you back on track? Share so others can copy your playbook.

Tools That Flex With You

Use Notion or Obsidian for shared brains, Loom for context-rich updates, and scheduled email or chat messages to respect off-hours. Voice memos beat long threads when Wi-Fi is shaky. Comment with your favorite offline-friendly notes app for border crossings.

Tools That Flex With You

Time-block everything, color-code by energy, and place buffer blocks around meetings like soft airbags. Set automatic time zone updates and include city tags in events. Curious about my calendar color key? Subscribe and I’ll send the legend and template.

Energy-Based Planning on the Road

On arrival, run a quick self-scan: when did you feel most alert, creative, and social today? Block matching tasks for the next three days, then reassess. A tiny daily note can save massive decision fatigue. Share your favorite check-in questions.

Energy-Based Planning on the Road

Use seven-minute mobility snacks, sunlight exposure, and hydration timers to reset after buses or border queues. Evidence is clear: short movement breaks boost focus and mood. What’s your go-to reset ritual at a new desk? Post a photo and tag your city.
