I think that this matters and I think I think that this is important. If you had a conversation with a lot of companies, particularly since this covid pandemic, they would have something to say about the importance of wellbeing.

Something old, something new
I think one of the biggest reasons people have for going back to the office is face to face communication. There is this idea that instead of continuing to embrace and further develop what was created from having to work from home, we should regress back to the way things were. But I think there's … Continue reading Something old, something new
Separating work from home
If you've found yourself working from home over the past 16 months, chances are that at some point the lines have blurred. This happens when you don't create clear boundaries. As much as working from home gives you more freedom and flexibility, you're still working. And so being curled up on the sofa with a … Continue reading Separating work from home
The rise and fall of Clubhouse
Over the past few months I've written various posts about Clubhouse. I wrote about how it had had grown but also my thoughts on the future. Over the past month or so it seems that Clubhouse has fallen. I believe it to be because the app came out whilst many of us were in lockdown. … Continue reading The rise and fall of Clubhouse
Back to the way things were
Around 18 months ago, the idea of working from home full-time was not an option for many people. However, last year it became our reality. Suddenly we had to adjust to new ways of working.

The longer we were inside the more we began to speak of the new normal. We were able to imagine changes on scales small and large. I think … Continue reading The old normal

I think the idea of going back to normal will cause a divide. On one hand you have the ones that are craving the way things were. They spend their days longing for what used to be. On the other hand you have the ones that have adjusted and adapted to this new way of … Continue reading Back to normal
Hard to imagine
There are many things in life that are hard to imagine however, it's worth remembering that this has no impact on the possibility of these things becoming a reality. This time two years ago you had no idea of what 2020 would bring and almost a year since the first lockdown we're still in the … Continue reading Hard to imagine
Why learning something new is a great idea
Last year there were lots of discussions, tweets and conversations about how we're in a pandemic, you don't need to do xyz it's totally okay if all you did was survive. The thing is, of course you don't need to do anything new or different with your time. That statement has always been true. But … Continue reading Why learning something new is a great idea
Pandemic residue
What will be left when it's all over. A few months ago I ventured out of my house and out of my local area. Everything felt normal until I found myself veering to the edge of the pavement as I saw 2 old ladies sat on a bench in front of me. On another occasion, … Continue reading Pandemic residue
