‘We are all incredible beings, and there’s no shame in feeling a little down every now and then. Let’s beat Blue Monday and appreciate the little things we do have now, and the bigger things we can look forward to in a post lockdown (hopefully) summer. We are bound to get grouchy and annoyed at the people we are around 24/7 – lucky for those with pets they have a personal therapist to confide in. We miss our friends and families, holidays, gyms and pretty much everything that used to be second nature to us. But of course, with all that’s going on at the moment it’s also okay not to be okay.

Prioritising tasks, taking a lunch break and not getting tunnel vision when it comes to productivity, are all challenges that face a solo worker. However, with the end in sight I, as I’m sure many of you do too, are looking for a new lease of life in your working from home routine.Īs we are now ‘Solo’ workers in the sense that we work from home, there are many new hurdles we face in the working hours of the day. Teams has indeed been a life saver for daily catch ups and the odd day in the office kept us appreciating the old ways. For one thing, staying at home has not been a complete drag – but as I’m sure we all do, the idea of a cold pint at the pub on a Thursday night is dreamy!Īs a company we have seen an increase in productivity as we migrated to a working from home routine. Hobbies have been embraced, new routines established and we have all found more time for ourselves and our families. With out the often long, hot and over crowed commutes to work we have found more time in the day. After almost a year of ups and downs, make-shift home offices and video calls, we have in many ways made it work. The novelty of home baking and pub quiz nights has well and truly worn off but the reality of living and working at home has not been a completely gruelling one. It happened again! Boris said the word…LOCKDOWN! And we find ourselves stuck back indoors for the third time.
