So far, this morning, I have been interrupted by children four times (one of which was to bring me some sourdough toast, to be fair), have lost audio or video connection with a colleague, twice (and with a client, once), and have had to deal with a colourful variety of noise pollutants: dogs; determined house builders; zoom calls from other rooms in the house. However, I slept in slightly longer, saw my wife and children intermittently, and managed to attend eight meetings. I also got some work done. This snapshot of my morning is not expected to thrill, excite or fascinate you. In fact, I suspect it is a very familiar rundown of events, if you live with children in a suburb.
Grammarians may not enjoy the formulation, but this is VERY normal, now. And it wasn’t at all, just a few short weeks ago.
I’ve been paying particular attention to how working from home has affected how easy it is to work effectively and how it interplays with broader topics, such as work-life balance, stress management and mindfulness. Indeed, observant readers will have seen that MJ Hudson recently published, in conjunction with eVestment Private Markets, the Work-Life Balance Report: Happy people, high performance – successful strategies in private markets.
