why your remote team feels disorganised

the 5 processes that actually make remote teams work.

In partnership with

👋 Welcome back to All Things Remote: your weekly shortcut to building lean, efficient remote teams without the chaos.

Your team isn't lazy and they’re certainly not incompetent…

And without those processes, even talented people look disorganised.

In today's send:

✅ The 5 processes every remote team needs (but most skip)

Better prompts. Better AI output.

AI gets smarter when your input is complete. Wispr Flow helps you think out loud and capture full context by voice, then turns that speech into a clean, structured prompt you can paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any assistant. No more chopping up thoughts into typed paragraphs. Preserve constraints, examples, edge cases, and tone by speaking them once. The result is faster iteration, more precise outputs, and less time re-prompting. Try Wispr Flow for AI or see a 30-second demo.
