This week on Productivity Nerd, Kathy is joined by Rich Gwilt from Flown – a platform she’s been a member of for years (because even productivity nerds need help focusing).Flown is known for its virtual coworking sessions designed for deep work – structured, intentional time to actually finish something. Not “open 47 tabs and call it research” work. Proper work.Kathy and Rich explore why virtual coworking works so brilliantly, especially for people who technically could focus alone… but mysteriously don’t.They also get into the realities of remote life:– Why homeworking can feel lonelier than we expected – How fully remote, global teams build real connection – Why burnout is such a risk when the commute is 12 steps – Who’s responsible for boundaries (and why “just switch off” isn’t always helpful advice) – How culture quietly drives productivity far more than any shiny new appRich shares what it’s like working inside a fully distributed company, how Flown approaches connection intentionally, and the balance between treating people like adults while still, you know, running a business.It’s thoughtful, practical and reassuring – especially if you’re working from home wondering why you’re both exhausted and slightly isolated.Because productivity isn’t about working longer.It’s about creating the right conditions to focus well… and then closing the laptop without guilt.If you’re a remote worker, leader, or permanently exhausted pigeon with Wi-Fi, this episode will feel very familiar – in the best possible way.
