Shaz is now like the rest of us ‘staying at home’ and in this episode, he reflects on how working from home was not something he had ever contemplated before because home is where he spends time with his family.

Currently, everything is different for everyone and Shaz shares how he and his team are adapting to working from home and discusses the best way to create a productive routine using the right software.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We have a group huddle every morning to share what we are looking to achieve, it sets up the day so we know what to focus on.

When working from home you can choose a different routine from the traditional 9 to 5.

• I can get started earlier in the day if I want to. I like to have a routine and structure to my day but using software like Asana and Teams help keep me organised and focused.
• Having a dedicated space for work can make it easier for you and I can take a walk at lunchtime which I never did before when I was in the office.
• There are lots of benefits from working at home but also distractions such as social media.
• Working from home means I have a higher expectation about keeping focused.
• Through ‘Teams’ people are more thoughtful and considerate about others time.
• Will I carry on working from home? I don’t have as much of an aversion to it now but I think in time when things are back to normal I’ll go back to the office because I’m a creature of habit but it’s a positive that I have been able to adapt and work from home.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘There is no commuting so you can either spend the time on your business or on yourself’

‘My team are committing to doing more and achieving more because they are putting more effort in at home to show it can work’

‘Working from home means I have a higher expectation of myself about keeping focused’
