The online whiteboard of Kristofer Palmvik
Just because you don’t have a formal commute decided on for you, doesn’t mean you can’t have a transition ritual to help you separate between your work and personal time. By being intentional with your newly added time, you can stop overworking yourself, and spend more time doing what you love. What would your commute reimagined look like?
Are you required to spend 8 uninterrupted hours in front of the computer? Should break times be excluded? What if you’re now using alternative work schedules? How do you know what is "enough"?
Leaders who haven’t updated their communication style for the virtual environment end up with misunderstandings and project delays. Think of it like you’re living in your own personal bubble. You are in control over what others see in your work experience. Since you’re not used to this level of control, effective virtual communications generally starts with communicating more than you think is necessary.
