People often forget to talk about the way how the collaboration will be conducted. Make sure, you will define the \u201cway of work\u201d which fits everyone. For instance, scheduling regular status meetings via Zoom? Great, but keep eye on timezones, so each member of the team will be able to connect during the daytime, not in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n
Keeping communication entirely on Slack or Microsoft Teams? Make sure you have also a \u201cproject\u201d platform where all the files and comments will be stored chronologically, chat tools are usually not enough for tracking complex tasks. For instance, Minty<\/a> is great for illustration projects, but there are also other, more generalist tools out there such as Notion or Asana.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=”yes” row_height_percent=”76″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”0″ bottom_padding=”1″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”65264″ media_width_percent=”65″ media_ratio=”one-one” alignment=”right” media_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Ftasteminty.com%2Falexandraturban%2F23760%2Fportfolioillustration040920-kopie|||”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”65270″ media_width_percent=”65″ media_ratio=”one-one” media_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Ftasteminty.com%2Falexandraturban%2F23759%2Fxx2|||”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ font_family=”font-207654″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ override_padding=”yes” column_padding=”0″ font_family=”font-207654″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”2\/3″][vc_custom_heading]<\/p>\n [\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Being able to get the idea about the scope of work which has been done is crucial, especially with creative freelancers.

Casual work environment actually proves out to be quite dangerous, as we tend to do all the mistakes. Sitting on wrong chair whole day, damaging our retinas with excessive time spend in front of the screen or lack of movement. Working remotely might take a toll on you and your health, so it is important keep on mind the advantages of being not in the office. Have a walk. Exercise whenever you want. Last but not least, don\u2019t forget about social interactions. Try to joke with your virtual coworkers also on that dry company chat, share funny links or install funny backgrounds to Zoom.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text border_color=”accent” border_style=”solid” css=”.vc_custom_1604577597622{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n Our lovely illustrations for this blog are by Alexandra Turban<\/a> & Karine Fortier<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_single_image media=”65261″ media_width_percent=”36″ alignment=”center” media_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Ftasteminty.com%2Falexandraturban||target:%20_blank|”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ override_padding=”yes” column_padding=”2″ font_family=”font-207654″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":65265,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-how-to"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tasteminty.com\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tasteminty.com\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tasteminty.com\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tasteminty.com\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tasteminty.com\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65256"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/tasteminty.com\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65256\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65274,"href":"https:\/\/tasteminty.com\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65256\/revisions\/65274"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tasteminty.com\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tasteminty.com\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tasteminty.com\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tasteminty.com\/page\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}2. <\/strong>Track the number of feedback rounds<\/h1>\n
