Working remotely doesn’t mean you’re working asynchronously. Too often, these two ideas get bundled together.
👉 But remote ≠ async.
One is a decision about space, the other about time.
In today’s episode of my podcast Weekly Pomodoro, I unpack the biggest misconceptions about async work — and why being "async-first" doesn’t mean banning real-time communication.
🚨 Going fully async may sound modern, but in practice it can slow you down, isolate your team, and break trust.
✅ Still, in the right contexts, async work is incredibly powerful.
