What does a typical day look like for you now?
My typical WFH day looks something like this:
7.30am: wake up, breakfast and shower.
8.30am: get to desk and start reading and replying to urgent emails.
9am: turn on Slack and catch up with our remote team. Throughout the morning there may be group meetings or 1:1s with various members of our team, along with customer help for me to get on board with. I usually do this until 1pm when I cook my own lunch.

How has Coronavirus impacted your life/work?
From a work setting, my work schedule hasn’t changed too much apart from now that I have my wife working out of the living room so I get to hang out with her throughout the day. However, from a life perspective, my usual end-of-day workout has been replaced with a solo run. The days have started blending into one too, I have no idea if it’s Wednesday or Sunday anymore!

What books would you recommend during this time at home?
I’m not going to recommend any particular books here and use this as an opportunity to say what is happening right now isn’t a normal situation. This isn’t what general work from home life is like. We aren’t usually isolated to this degree and yes it is harder to work when you read the news continually. So my advice is read books that will make you feel comfortable and let you have some escapism for a few hours. Read books you’ve read before that you love.

When this is all over, what will the opportunities look like?
I hope that more companies realize that they can hire people from outside their city, outside their country and outside their time zones. Working from home isn’t for everyone but by choosing to force people into one location in one city means that you’re missing out on a wealth of talent who are very comfortable with the WFH lifestyle.
