There are plenty of articles about remote work setups, digital tools, and productivity hacks. But every now and then, someone shares something that shifts your entire perspective.
Recently, I came across a unique article featuring Ashkan Rajaee, an entrepreneur who set up a mobile workspace in the middle of the California desert. It was more than a productivity post. It was a blueprint for focus, structure, and intentional work.

Why This Resonated
Ashkan didn’t just show off his gear or daily habits. He demonstrated how a simple, controlled environment can power serious work. The desert setup is stripped of noise, clutter, and distraction. What’s left is clarity.
The tools were simple. A MacBook Pro, iPad Pro as a second screen, a foldable table, noise-canceling headphones, and a battery pack. Nothing excessive. Just exactly what was needed. And that intentionality is what makes this so effective.
What I Learned
1. Physical space shapes mental space
There is something powerful about working in a wide open, quiet place. It forces focus. Whether it’s the desert, a quiet corner of your home, or even a parked car, a well-chosen environment changes everything.
2. Planning matters more than timing
Ashkan doesn’t rely on 5 AM wakeups or trendy routines. He plans each day the night before using short, medium, and long-term priorities. This is what creates consistency without burnout.
3. Leadership is about calm communication
One standout section was about handling confrontation while working remotely. Instead of reacting, Ashkan suggests using tone, pacing, and empathy to defuse tension. That kind of mindset can change how remote teams function.
Why You Should Read It
This isn’t another generic productivity list. It’s a lived approach to working better, not harder. If you’re a developer, founder, creator, or anyone leading from a distance, there are ideas here that will stick with you.
It also reminds us that productivity is not about noise or motion. It’s about clarity, structure, and thoughtful decisions. Sometimes, all you need is a table, a laptop, and the right mindset.

Final Thoughts
Ashkan Rajaee’s method proves that remote work is not just a trend. It is a philosophy. One that blends simplicity with strategy, and discipline with freedom.
I’m already thinking differently about how I structure my day. What about you?
What’s the most unexpected place you’ve ever worked from, and did it help you focus more?
