Team Clean Desk or Team Messy Desk? Some say a tidy desk clears the mind; others claim a bit of chaos sparks creativity. Which one fuels your productivity? Let us know in the comments! #CraftsmenSoftwareMaestros #PeopleFirst #TeamExtension

Tomorrow I head out of office for a week -- and I am very excited to unplug for a bit. Work's been busy - which is a good thing, and I'm excited about all the projects I've been working on, but I was stressed about getting everything needed done before the time off. So what'd I do? I took a good, hard look at my calendar for this week and made it a goal to clear my calendar as best as possible for ultimate productivity. I reached out to some people to punt meetings til when I'm back or shared updates asynchronously for group meetings and declined the meeting (I can watch the recording when I'm back). Another thing? Loom! Saves so much time providing additional context without having to meet. I'm now 6 hours from 'clocking out' (who's counting?) and feeling pretty good about where everything stands. Look forward to returning recharged, a little sunkissed, and with slightly less tension in my neck 😂 What are your productivity hacks when prepping for OOO time?

As dawn breaks, the office awakens, the hum of keyboards and the ring of phones marking the start of the day. By 9:00 AM, employees, fueled by fresh coffee, dive into their tasks. The marketing team brainstorms around a whiteboard, IT tackles tech issues, and the printer churns out documents. #MorningHustle #OfficeLife Meetings fill conference rooms with strategy and debate. Lunch brings laughter and bonding in the break room. The afternoon slump is countered by quick stretches and brisk walks, rejuvenating the team for the final push. #TeamMeetings #LunchBreak #AfternoonBoost As the day winds down, desks are tidied, emails sent, and to-do lists checked off. The sunsets cast long shadows, and one by one, employees head home, leaving the office in quiet anticipation of another day. #ProductiveDay #WorkLifeBalance The office, now bathed in twilight, falls silent, ready to awaken with the dawn once more. #EndOfDay #ReadyForTomorrow

Tuesday Tip! Minimize distractions- Identify and eliminate or minimize distractions in your environment. This could include turning off non-essential notifications, creating a dedicated workspace, or using tools to block distracting websites during work hours. Communicate your need for focused time to colleagues or family members to minimize interruptions. --- #smallbusinessowner #treasurevalleybusiness #howtosavemoney #boisebusinessowner #cardprocessing #thepaymentexperts #merchantservice #cardprocessor #businesstips #stoppayingtogetpaid

I’m just going to say it. There is value in being in the office together. Face to face. Kneecap to kneecap. Reading each other’s body language. Without any blurred out backgrounds or mute buttons. I love technology. And I love how it’s enabled to work across time zones and around the world. And yet - there’s something special about working through problems around a conference room table, or continuing a conversation over lunch… The shared experience of meeting over zoom or async video is dramatically inferior to the palpable energy that can be created when great people get together in person. It’s better than nothing, but it’s a concession. I love the flexibility that technology has enabled us to have. … AND … We’re missing out on half the value we get from joining a good organization when we lose the regular in-person connection-points that an office provides. All in the name of avoiding the commute. Folks, it’s a bad deal. #teamwork #remotework #connection #workfromhome #workplaceculture #officelife

"A cluttered desk is a sign of genius!" I used to believe this. I was wrong. My messy workspace was costing me time, focus, and money. So I tried an experiment: → Cleared everything off my desk → Only put back absolute essentials → Organized digital files ruthlessly → Set up a "miscellaneous" drawer (with weekly cleanouts) The results shocked me: • Found 2 extra hours in my day • Stress levels dropped significantly • Creative solutions came easier Turns out, a clear space creates mental clarity. Now I'm a decluttering convert. What workspace change had the biggest impact on your productivity? #WorkspaceEfficiency #FocusedWork

Who says remote teams can’t connect and have fun together? Last week, we celebrated our official Christmas Party, and yesterday, we wrapped up the year with another fantastic Zoom game (shoutout to Avva Experience !) solving mysterious Sherlock Holmes cases like detectives on a mission. 🔍 It’s proof that with a little creativity, you can bring everyone together, no matter where they are in the country(or the world). These moments (solving cases and sharing laughs) are what keep our Zappy spirit strong! How does your team stay connected during the holiday season? Share your tips below…we’re always looking for new ideas! 🎄 #teamculture #remotework #remoteworking #teambonding #digitalagency #digitalagencylife

Back when I was fully remote, I craved a workspace that sparked joy. 🤩 Sure, virtual backgrounds on Zoom and Teams are fun, but nothing beats a comfy, real-life setup! Now, every time I hop on a video call, I get the same question: “Is your background real?” Spoiler alert: it absolutely is! 📸 Creating a space that reflects who you are can make all the difference. I’m more calm, productive, and thoughtful in my space. So, let your workspace shine—after all, it’s part of who you are! #RemoteWork #Authenticity #FindYourJoy

🌍 Building Bonds Beyond Screens! Here's more about our latest team-building experience that took us back to nature, grounding together before we embark on travels to different zip codes across the globe! 🏞️ In the remote work era, where distance is the norm, physical team-building events have never been more vital, at least that has always been the case with us at The Recursive & Storytelling Studio - avec Irina Obushtarova, Etien Yovchev🚀International GTM / PR for Tech Companies, Teodor Antonio Georgiev, Dilyana Haralanova, Amaliya Abbas, Kristiana Kuneva, Elena Ghiniță, Loredana Dobrea, Livia Rusu, Ana Marija K., Teodora Atanasova, Anna Atanasova, Irina Stefanova, 🇧🇬 Andrey Andonov 🇺🇦. 💼 While virtual meetings keep us connected, nothing replaces the power of face-to-face interaction. In-person gatherings help bridge the isolation gap, boost collaboration, and foster trust among teammates. 🤝 ✨ This connection with nature gave us a fresh perspective, recharged our energy, and strengthened our bonds, making us more ready to tackle the challenges ahead. 🌱 🌍 And we have enough energy to give others as well! Let's grow together this season! #TeamBuilding #RemoteWork #Collaboration #WorkCulture #GlobalTeam #EmployeeEngagement

The irony: we’re overloaded with productivity tools, yet still struggling to get things done. If you’ve ever been guilty of these, you’re not alone: 😬 Adding every 2-minute task to your to-do list... but you could've just done it by now. 😬 Getting feedback from three people before you commit... as if your task needs a team of consultants. 😬 Scrolling ‘just for inspiration’... and ending up down a rabbit hole of dance videos and office memes. 😬 Rearranging your digital workspace... because moving folders again will surely spark brilliance. 😬 And my past guilty pleasure? Hunting down the ultimate productivity calendar (not a digital one!). I’d spend ages making it look great, filling every box with tasks (no empty space allowed, lol!)... only to leave half the list untouched by the end of the week. At the end of the day, it’s not about doing all the things... ...it’s about doing the right things. Prioritize what matters and watch the rest sort of... fade away. (It’s funny how many ‘urgent’ tasks are forgotten without a second thought 😉) So, next time you’re about to add ‘organize desk drawer’ to your list… maybe let that one go... What’s one ‘productive’ habit you’re ready to break? #ProductivityTruth #LessIsMore #FocusOnWhatMatters
