How to Increase Productivity for Business Travel

Attract the Right Job or Clientele:

While it may sound like a glorious gig, anyone who’s had to work from a cramped airplane seat or navigate foreign public transit knows that travel is not always the productivity paradise it’s cracked up to be. So, how do you turn travel time into a turbocharged work session?

It’s wise to seek ways to make your next business trip less about terminal boredom and more about terminal efficiency. Accordingly, our collaborative blog offers ideas on how to increase productivity for business travel.

Increase Productivity for Business Travel

Hire a Corporate Travel Planner

To begin, consider outsourcing the overall travel headache. A corporate travel planner is like having your travel fairy godmother. They handle the nitty-gritty details of bookings, accommodations, and even airport transfers. This frees you up to focus on why you’re traveling in the first place—to conquer the business world one creative step at a time. Plus, they can help you acquire upgrades and perks that make life on the road a bit sweeter.

Tech Up Your Travel

Before you set off, ensure you’re armed with the tech to keep you connected and productive. Invest in noise-canceling headphones to turn any noisy café or gate area into your private office. Portable power banks are a must because there’s nothing more tragic than your laptop dying right as inspiration strikes. And remember, there’s an app for almost everything—expense tracking, itinerary organizing, and even one to find the best coffee in town (because caffeine is a business traveler’s best fuel)!

Master the Art of Packing

Become a packing ninja. Efficiency starts with how you pack. Keep a pre-packed bag with essentials for travel—chargers, travel toiletries, and business casual staples. It’s like having a go-bag for productivity. Roll your clothes to save space and avoid wrinkles because showing up to a meeting looking like you wrestled a laundry basket (and lost) is not a good look.

Schedule During Downtime

Do you have a layover, or are you facing a delayed flight? That’s prime time to get some work done. Use these intervals to catch up on emails, revise documents, or prepare for upcoming meetings. Airports are surprisingly good places to focus—once you tune out the chaos. Find a quiet corner near your gate, open your laptop, and turn wait time into work time.

Stay Charged and Connected

Always know where you can charge your devices. Scope out airport lounge access, including comfy seating, charging stations, and sometimes free snacks (score!). Consider booking accommodations with business-friendly amenities like fast Wi-Fi and work desks in rooms on longer trips. Some hotels even offer coworking spaces now.

Keep Health on the Agenda

Stay hydrated and move around regularly. It’s easy to fall into the trap of sitting for hours, munching on airport snacks, leaving you feeling sluggish and unfocused. Stretch your legs, drink plenty of water, and choose healthier food options when you can. Your body (and brain) will thank you, making it easier to stay on top of your game.

Sync Your Schedules

If you’re crossing time zones, plan your schedule according to your home base to keep in sync with your team. Use tools like Google Calendar that automatically adjust for different time zones to help manage your appointments and deadlines.

As you can see, business travel doesn’t have to be a productivity pitfall. It’s all about the planning!

Elinor Stutz International Best-Selling Author

Elinor Stutz broke through barriers long before doing so was popular. Against all the odds, she defied the theme “women can’t sell” to become the top producer at every company she ever worked for, ignoring attempts to get her to quit.

Eleven years later, I lay motionless on a stretcher with an irreparably broken neck. Two visions appearing before me, and a brilliant gold light encasing my entire body, gave me a reason to believe I would recover. I wholeheartedly knew I was about to empower audiences far and wide. At the moment, I negotiated a full recovery with the promise to be of service. The surgeon and hospital staff anointed me with the title “The Walking Miracle.”

As the CEO of Smooth Sale, Stutz adapted the motto, “Believe, Become, Empower.” Believe in yourself; Become the person you envision; Empower your audience to do the same. Stutz is on the Social Media Committee for Inclusion Allies Coalition devoted to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
