WFH burnout is SO different from burnout at work in normal times. The stress, anxiety and exhaustion are another level.

“Did you close schools when infections were soaring?”

“We threatened to sue local authorities if they did.”

“Did you help people work from home wherever they could?”

“We told them they’d get the sack if they didn’t get back in the office.”

What to expect in ‘21:

- vaccine politics and shortages
- social distancing and masks to continue
- WFH will be Work from partly home and office
- Patients and doctors will prefer teleconsultation
- Retail therapy will drive growth
- Online sales will continue to grow

Keeping fit and active doesn't necessarily mean running a half marathon every week.

With so many working from home, we're just not walking as much and it's not good for us!

A brisk walk every day does wonders for your health - physical and mental.

next big remote work perk: companies should pay to install ethernet ports in people's home offices - night and day difference for all those zoom calls

Time zone difference is to remote work what "distance" was for the physical workplace

New data today shows people in some of the lowest-paid, manual jobs are THREE TIMES more likely to die of Covid than those in higher-paid so-called "professional" jobs.

Staying home doesn't work for everyone.

Remote work in a pandemic is different than ‘normal’ life remote work BUT what has been one of your favourite things about remote work over the last year? 🤔

For me: better work-life integration.

I’m not giving up 3-4 hours of my day to a commute and spend that w/ fam instead.

Correctives to the rule breaking thesis form ONS. Latest data suggests:

-96% using face coverings
-93% avoiding physical contact with others
-65% only leaving home for work, exercise or shopping (highest level since May 2020)
-Proportion of adults WFH highest since summer

School was so soul destroying I'd fake being sick at least once a week just to take days off, and they convinced me this is just how life is. Now I find myself working from home while recovering from covid (despite having unlimited PTO) because I actually enjoy my job...

👋 A reminder that the future of work is trust, not tracking.

Remote teams built on a foundation of trust & transparency are more likely to thrive.
