MicrosoftSchedules and WFH success
I'm a strong believer that there's not one single correct way to work from home, so it's great to see people sharing what works for them. Let's talk about the timeline of your work from home day. Doe...
My WFH life has definitely challenged me to be more vigilant about managing my time SoniaCuff! I felt this week has run away from me so I'm putting in place changes next week to see how it goes. Feel free to try these at home!

- Writing things down. With a pen. I know that in this digital age, this might seem strange, but taking physical notes gives me a distraction free way of prioritising the big things I need to work on, or jotting down that brilliant idea that shouldn't go away.
- Taking control of my afternoons. From 2:00-3:30PM I'm going to trial phone-only meetings. It will give me a much needed break from screens and a chance to go for a walk!
Would love to hear your new practices! Tell us what you're experimenting with.
Kris SwansonAnnaChu I love the idea of a phone only / walking meeting! Thanks for that suggestion.
- I will so copy the "only phone meetings" thats great! I´ve have done walking meetings previously, and thats something you could do with a phone meeting as well. As long as weather and headset allows.
