# The Remote Worker week

URL: https://gocutline.com/templates/remote-worker-week/

A weekly schedule for remote workers: start with a 15-minute plan at 08:45, deep work until 11:30, meetings after lunch, a walk at 15:30 and a hard stop at 17:30.

## Why it works
- **A fixed start and a shutdown** replace the commute that used to frame the day.
- **Meetings in one window** keep mornings for focus.
- **A walk** is the break remote days usually lack.

## Make it yours
- Link your work calendar so meetings show in the Grid: see [Outlook](https://gocutline.com/integrations/outlook-calendar/) or [Google Calendar](https://gocutline.com/integrations/google-calendar/).
- Different time zone from your team? Shift the meeting window to the overlap.

## Use it

The week: Plan the day 15 min every weekday at 8:45, deep work 2.5h every weekday at 9, meetings 2h every weekday at 13, walk 20 min every weekday at 15:30, shut down 15 min every weekday at 17:15

## Questions

**How do I stop remote work from taking over evenings?**
End with a shutdown block: review, plan tomorrow, close the laptop. A fixed end makes the rest of the evening yours.
