What's the hardest part of working remotely for you?

I know that a lot of people love working remotely, but I ask those who are struggling: why is that? What are things that are hard (time management, motivation, bad internet etc)?

How do you manage and keep track of your team effectively?

Hi, As first-time founder, usually I found that it's pretty hard to manage / keep track / support your team efficiently due to 1. Heavily-multitasking: lots of stuff to do, emails to check, various tasks 2. Chat to too many people, too many topics at the same time, easy get lost 3. Disruption from your team while focusing on working (i.e. you have to stop your flow to give some kind of help when they ask) 4. Lots of channels: Slack, Email, Skype, Jira, Saleforces, etc to check everything 5. Lots of approval requests: before deployment, before publishing new blog, code review before commiting, etc 6. Lots of issues occur: and each take lots of time to study people works from the scratch to solve, it's piling up daily Easily get lost with team of 7-8 members, sometimes can't help and let people handle themselves, then people will feel disengaged and get thing done wrongly. So usually I don't have free time to do your stuff like thinking about product improvement, etc.. since just supporting team consuming all my time So, how you guys handle this effectively?

Do you track your time/productivity every day? What app do you use?

Hi everyone, I'm a big believer in tracking app - either for a fitness goal or coding challenge etc. I read the book Atomic Habit recently (very good) and started tracking my productivity each day (when I do work). I toyed around with a few apps and was wondering which one you guys use. Obviously, there is a lot out there. Cheers!
