#Furious #Patsy #Palmer #storms #GMB #refuses #interviewWhat’s your advice for staying productive at home?
What advice can you give for folks who are forced to work from home?
John Sundell: Well, it's different from day to day. I'm not going to lie, this situation is affecting me, and I think it's affecting a lot of people. I'm usually a pretty happy, positive guy and I still am, but it's definitely affecting me. And I think it's something that we have to be honest about, that we don't always have to put on our game face and be super happy and nothing is bad.
A lot of things are bad right now, and there's a lot of, like you say, there's a lot of worry, there's a lot of uncertainty in the world. I think it's fine to admit that and to say it's okay to not be the most productive you've ever been right now because there's a lot of things we all have to think about. We're in completely uncharted territory in many cases, in terms of where we live, in terms of our countries, in terms of the world.
So with that out of the way, that's something that I'm affected by as well, how I'm kind of coping with the situation is, well, two parts, really. The first part is to try to be even more organized and even more productive with my work, organized and disciplined a little bit with my work than I've maybe been before.
So to try to really use things like to do lists and make a plan every morning when I wake up what I want to get done so that I can stay focused, because I know that if I'm not focused right now, the chance that I will open up a new site and read some other bad news that happened about Coronavirus, then I will get depressed and then I will lose my productivity.
So I will really try to stay focused and while still keeping up. I don't want to give the impression that I'm kind of building a silo here and not caring about what's going on in the world, because that's definitely not the truth. I am keeping up with the news every single day, but I'm trying to segment my day. So when I'm at work right now, I want to try to be completely productive and to really kind of shield myself from the outside world, put on some really nice music that I like, to have a good to do list, to know what I'm going to do, to just keep working on that.
But then to set aside even more time to just spending time with my girlfriend and spending time with friends over Hangouts or video calls. I've been calling a lot of friends that I haven't talked to in a long time, just to check up how are they doing, to just provide support to each other, to hang out over the internet.
We actually, with a couple of friends, we hosted a remote cocktail party the other weekend. We were just getting together, having some drinks over a video call. So I've been setting aside way more time for that recently as well, to speak to my family and friends and to just relax as well, to just watch a lot of Netflix, to just relax. To really just try to be more disciplined around the time allocation for different things, that's pretty much how I've been coping with things.
Paul Hudson: I think it is so important to talk about this stuff because everyone who reads any news is at this point feeling significantly more stressed out, more anxious, more worried about the state of the world. They know perhaps people who have the virus, they certainly know that it's in their country at this point, almost guaranteed, and no one's alone. We're all feeling exactly the same problem.
We're all feeling that we aren't firing on all cylinders as it were. We're all that nagging thing, oh, goodness me, what is this thing happening right now in the world I've got to read about. So it's good to talk about it and good to normalize it and just say, yeah, we're all in this together.
John Sundell: We really are. And I think there's a lot of productivity tips going around, and I've been writing articles as well about what I've been learning from working remotely for the last three years and how I can give advice and tips to people, things to try.
So there's a lot of focus on that right now, on how to be more productive or how to be more focused. And it kind of is the same that we were talking about earlier, you can get this impression that everyone's writing a blog. You can get this impression that everyone's working remotely and they're being super productive, they're just getting it. They just immediately, they got it. They're churning out new code and new features and shipping their app like never before. And I really don't think that's the case.
I mean, I'm sure that people are doing the very best they can and I'm doing too, but I think we should try to stay focused as much as we can and to keep doing our work as much as we can. But I think it's fine to also just admit and say that things are probably going to be a bit shaky for a while and things are going to maybe not be the most productive. And just because you're not feeling a hundred percent productive right now doesn't mean that something's wrong with you. We're all in this situation.
Paul Hudson: Someone in the chat has asked whether you would mind shareing your music playlist.
John Sundell: Oh, that's actually funny because my music taste is extremely diverse and I go through different phases. So
