After working 100% from home for the past 8 years, I’ve learned how to avoid the endless temptations to vacuum, organize the pantry, make yet another cup of coffee, or get sucked into a Netflix series.
I’ve learned how to navigate distractions, find community, and make progress even when there’s chaos going on around me.
Imagine that I launch my consulting practice in 2002, right after 9/11 because my husband and I as newlyweds move with job offers to Puerto Rico only to find out that the plans changed.
This is all a different ball game for all of us. {i.e. lock-down, distancing, homeschooling, churches closed, NFL games canceled... You know the list which goes on and on}
Before you dig in, I just want to say that I’m standing with you in this time of uncertainty. I know it’s not easy to keep moving toward your goals when there’s so much going on in the world.
In today's episode, we talk about the importance of
(1) Setting routines. You are not on vacation and should not be idle waiting for things to get resolved on their own.
(2) Your ultimate goal in the morning and evening
(3) Setting an end to your work schedule
(4) Having a positive outlook into the future
(5) Setting intentional time for your family and significant others even when you are seeing each other all the time.
I’m cheering you on from afar and hard at work creating even more resources to support you during this time! Like my free guide: ‘Working home productively: 5 strategies to get things done in uncertain times’. This guide does not repeat the concept discussed in the show but upgrades them into a practical guide to apply to your specific circumstances.
