Jessica Garza – My Nomad Way of Working

Recently, I’ve seen a rise in remote working and freelancing around the world. However, lately nomadic workers or say digital nomads are on the rise.

I, Jessica Garza also been a digital nomad for a long time now. For a long time, I’ve been juggling between traveling and work – but in a nice positive way.

My experience as a digital nomad – so far so good. The reason behind this is that I follow a system. There’s a lifestyle that I’ve built. A digital nomad lifestyle. A nomad way of working. And that’s what I will share with you today.

First off, it's all about crafting a harmonious balance. A balance between work and life, adventure and productivity. And over the years of being a tech nomad, I've honed a system that allows me to thrive in this kind of lifestyle.

 

Routine, not Rigidity

While spontaneity is the spice of nomadic life, having a routine forms the backbone of productivity. I've crafted a flexible daily schedule. Work, exploration, and personal time – that’s what I will sum my day into.

A few hours of focused work at the start of the day is all you need to nail the rest of the day. Plus the mind all stays fresh.

Afternoons are free for exploration. I always look to indulge myself in the local culture or pursue personal interests. In the evening, I wrap up any remaining work, tying up loose ends and planning for the next day's adventures.

 

Tech-Savvy Essentials

Your office has to fit neatly into a backpack. That’s what all digital nomads do. Go for a nomadic work toolkit. That’s where I became successful as a tech nomad.

From lightweight laptops with long battery life to portable Wi-Fi hotspots and noise-cancelling headphones, keep it light. Easy to carry.

And it’s not just about carrying stuff around. These tools also allow working efficiently from virtually anywhere.

 

Strategic Planning

Careful planning and organizing things on the go is important. And it becomes even more important when you are traveling the world while also working on the side.

For example, if you’re going to a new place – research the destination first, and take into account factors such as cost of living, internet connectivity, and visa requirements.

Plan your travels strategically. It’s not about being defensive here but having a great strategy can help you maximize your experience of travelling.

And that folks was my nomad way of working. Routine, lightweight essentials, and beforehand planning are what I do thus making my digital nomad experience much greater. What about yours? Do tell me about your experiences. Until then, peace out.
