With the coronavirus pandemic creating a fast-moving and uncertain situation affecting us all, personally and professionally, many people are finding themselves in unchartered territory. I also realise that I am one of the ‘lucky ones’ – not everyone will still be in work who is reading this but boy, does it fill up the day usefully – but for those who are, I thought I would share my experience of working from home over the past 12 years and how to actually get stuff done. Then a few ideas about how to keep busy, fit, motivated and stay connected, when we finally all get bored with vegging out on the sofa watching boxsets in our PJs.
FITNESS
1 If you’re devoted to your gym classes, like me, you’re going to miss working out in company and with the motivation of a teacher out front. Now you’re going to need to find and follow an online instructor to keep up with your favourite exercises, gym routines, dance or yoga. Why not get your mates to do the same and set a time aside each day when you’re all following a class together?
2 Use your one chance to exercise outdoors a day wisely – you can run, walk or cycle, on your own or with other members of the family you’re self isolating with. Or at least six feet away from a mate; two of my running friends are still going for a run together but on opposite sides of the pavement. Make sure you’ve got some great music or a podcast to listen to while you do it.
