Plan ahead when purchasing office supplies
#Mii channel music my neck my back code#
This means we are not restricted to the times the post office sorting office is open in order to collect a delivery, as all we have to do is present the QR code on our phone and we have instant access to our delivery box. We set up a parcel motel account as there is local parcel motel pick up point within a twenty minute walk for us and we get our deliveries sent there. Working from home while the country is in lockdown, means that you are relying on online deliveries for office supplies. A big shout out to Ellen Shilling of who offers superb guided meditations and whose 3 week course tailored specifically for people working from home, I completed and found to be of tremendous value. I have also found using the ‘Loving Kindness’ meditation on the Calm app is a beautiful way to refresh the mind and heart and wish health and happiness for yourself, your loved ones and your colleagues at work. It is the perfect way to start the day and get me in the ‘zone’ for work. Every morning after my shower, I do a 3 minute ‘Early mornings’ meditation on the Headspace app. One of the things I have found which has really helped me to move past this fear and to function at my best at work, is Mindfulness. The fear of COVID-19 and how it could potentially impact us and our loved ones, is something all of us have been wrestling with since March. It helps being able to close the dining room door at the end of the day and know that work is over for that day.
If we need to go on video conference or take a call, one of us moves to a separate room and then returns after the video conference/call is over. We use our dining room table my husband is at one end and I am at the other. We are lucky in that we can use our dining room as our home office. This could prove very beneficial in terms of highlight the ‘hacks’ you need to be aware of, to function at your best from your home office. If you intend working remotely long term, it could be worth requesting an online ergonomic assessment, to get a personalised assessment of your own desk set up at home. Your back and neck will thank you for it. It could be worth the investment in a separate monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse, if you intend working remotely long term. Once my screen was at the correct eye level, the pain in my back and neck disappeared.
The solution? I dispensed with the standing desk laptop converter and I used a standalone monitor and wireless keyboard instead. However, because my laptop screen was not at eye level, I started to experience a strain in my neck and upper thoracic area, which became quite painful over time. I had experimented with a standing desk laptop converter, thinking that it would help my back. To make the most of working from home, there are a few things I have discovered from my own experience, that could potentially help other marketers out there, which I would like to share with you.įirstly, the importance of getting your desk set up correct, cannot be underestimated. For others, who are living on their own, without the comforting contact of a second person to talk to, working from home has been equally challenging.
Particularly for those who are parents and who are trying to juggle care of their children with holding down a full-time job, all from within the confines of the home. Many of us are now working from home and at this juncture it is unclear how many of us will continue to work remotely into the future.įor some marketers, working from home has been a tough experience. Who could have predicted that in 2020 our lives, our workplaces and our communities would have been subject to Lockdown? Who could have foreseen the changes an invidious virus could have brought to our everyday existence? It has been a rollercoaster year and in many ways the lives we had known up until COVID-19 emerged, have been utterly transformed.
