Was in the office this morning - not unusual. The office was completely full not a free desk. It was SO NOISY.

I had to go home at lunch.

Was it always so noisy in the before times?

[I am fortunate that my schedule is asynchronous, and I much appreciate the opportunities it presents - BUT recognise that I can't be 'greedy' / 'selfish', remembering any high priority work commitments during 'standard hours' MUST be respected]

I’ve had a productive morning but no new clients were coming in so I left early. I’ll do some bits of work at home when I get in. #FlexibleWorking like this suits me very well

The evidence keeps piling up - working from home is more productive than going into an office

#FlexibleWorking #HybridWorking #wfh #workfromhome

That’s a potential trump card for employers still making the effort to facilitate flexible working options*, and a big recruitment & retention hazard for those who don’t.

*anyone who tries to tell me that #HomeWorking isn’t the sum total of flexible working gets blocked for ‘splaining. I don’t need lessons in the variety of #flexibleWorking. However, the fact is that #remoteWorking has been proven effective, and hugely popular, in a wide range of industries. That genie’s out of the bottle.

My best thing in life was acquiring jobs which mean I don’t have to get up in the dark. I am so thankful every winter. #FlexibleWorking

Interesting thoughts in a podcast about when is ‘mid-winter’. It’s 21 December for me, because it’s all about light, not weather.
