Working in the time of Covid19

Strange times, these. Working in the time of Covid19 is weird. Tiring and demanding. The need for concentration throughout the hours spent in front of Zoom. The breaks of doing calls whilst walking around. What a pleasure a phone call is without the cognitive load of trying to decode people’s reactions through the fg of video.

So how to manage? Exercise, walk, meditate, try to relax, talk. Enjoy the little things. The blossom on the apple trees, the sun shining, a cuddle with a cat. Try and stay in the moment on Zoom calls - turning off email, Slack and messaging to try to connect. And above all be patient and forgiving to oneself and others.

This, too, shall pass.
