Remote workers wear many hats—communicator, deep worker, calendar manager, personal chef.
Without structure, chaos takes over. Here’s a sample Assignee setup designed specifically for remote workers.
Shortcut Layout
- Control + Tab, S → Slack or Teams
- Control + Tab, C → Calendar
- Control + Tab, N → Work project tools (Notion, Jira, etc.)
- Control + Tab, W → Deep work app (editor, Figma, etc.)
- Control + Tab, E → Personal admin (email, banking)
Features to Use
- Local shortcuts per workspace
- App groups for morning, afternoon, evening modes
- Contextual window jump: jump back to the document you left open
Final Thought
Remote work requires more than just freedom—it requires systems. Assignee gives you the tools to build yours.
