Communication Stack

Slack or Discord for async messaging. Zoom or Around for video calls. Loom for async video updates. The key is establishing clear norms about when to use each tool.

Collaboration Tools

Notion for documentation, Figma for design, and GitHub for code. All three support real-time collaboration. Invest in tools that make asynchronous work first-class.

Focus and Time Management

Clockify for time tracking, Reclaim.ai for calendar optimization, and Krisp for AI noise cancellation. Protect deep work blocks and communicate your availability clearly.

Home Office Essentials

A standing desk, ergonomic chair, good lighting, and reliable internet are non-negotiable. Invest in a quality webcam and microphone. Your setup directly impacts your output.
