I love day in the life posts because I’m nosey, I wish more people wrote them but can understand why people wouldn’t want to share every detail of their daily routine. I’m not very good at taking breaks from my computer so I’m finding my fitbit really useful as it keeps reminding me to move.

I’ve got used to working from home now but miss my colleagues, we’ve started to use MS Teams now which is good but not the same as face to face meetings. The noise from next door is still irritating me; some days I get to the stage I have to get away from the noise which is tricky at the moment. Hopefully I’ll be allowed back to my office soon.

Working from home does have challenges- I have had a few days where I worked through and didn’t stop for lunch – I kept thinking I’ll just do this and then I’ll have a break- now I have made myself a timetable and I add my to-do list into there, and it has helped me keep more focused but also helped me to spread the work out during the day.
My home office is next to the dividing wall, and next door’s home office must be on the other side of the wall, because sometimes I can hear the phone calls from next door and the guy has such a loud voice! Usually I can block it out (or play music) but sometimes I’ve had to get out because it irritates me so much!
