More and more people are taking work with them when they leave the office. For some people, a change of scenery can really get the creative juices flowing. Looking at something other than your four office walls can often be the jumpstart your brain needs to get some serious, high-quality work done. Other times the change is less of a choice as you may find yourself travelling yet again on a foreign business trip or worst of all, hounded by work on your vacation.
With once-traditional work gone mobile like this, every employee needs to be equipped with the knowledge and tools to do well no matter their location. But how do you stay at the top of your game when you’re on the go?
Get organized
Sometimes it’s as simple as planning ahead. Out of office work could strike at any minute, and the less time you waste getting situated the more productive your time spent working will be. Here are a few tricks for making sure you’re not wasting time and energy scrambling to get your work ducks in a row.
Keep offline work listed and ready
There’s always going to be something you can get done either offline or with limited office tools. Keep track of all these tasks and carry that list with you whenever you might find yourself ready to get some work done.
Everything in its place
You’ll work faster and more consistently if you don’t let your work supplies get scattered. If you have a briefcase or a laptop case, keep everything you need in it and always in the same place. This goes for your pens, your work phone, your tablet, even your business cards if you keep a stack of them.
Bring your own source of Wi-Fi
This is probably the most important aspect of keeping your productivity up while you’re on the go. You can never have too much wifi. Free Wi-Fi from a nearby coffee shop or even the paid wifi at your hotel can and will frequently fail you. It’s safest to bring your own wifi hotspot with you to ensure a safe and speedy connection.
Your phone’s Wi-Fi hotspot
Even if you’re travelling abroad you can still bring your own Internet. Phones are the most common way to hook yours and your colleagues’ devices up to some portable Internet. However, they’re not the cheapest or most reliable option. Using your phone as a hotspot can result in massive data overcharges and they’re typically slower than dedicated Wi-Fi devices.
Global Wi-Fi hotspots
A dedicated global Wi-Fi hotspot is your best bet for portable Wi-Fi. Since Wi-Fi is all they do, their connection speeds are often much faster and more stable than what you’ll get with a phone. Global Wi-Fi hotspots can work all over the world no matter where your travels take you. When you’re choosing a hotspot, you’ll want to shop for one with no data expiration or extra charges. BNESIM now offers a global Wi-Fi hotspot that has some perks over its competitors.

Don’t forget to take some rest now and then
Taking some time off from work and recharging your brain is incredibly important to your health and can actually boost your productivity when you do have to work. A work-free vacation once and a while is a good way to keep your life balanced. But when work does follow you abroad, just keep yourself organized and bring your own global Wi-Fi hotspot to make sure you’re working at full capacity.
