Work From Home Productivity Tips
Some good points made in this article good.net.nz... on working from home efficiently. I must admit I have only recently set up a comfortable work station where I sit in a proper chair with my laptop at a desk (it's actually a hall table that no longer graces the entryway - function won over form). The "desk" isn't large enough for a plant but the large window overlooks my beloved garden.
Prior to this I was sitting on the floor with my laptop at the coffee table. Serendipity saw it make a great wee spot for zoom meetings with fantastic lighting and a visually pleasing background however it was horrible for other work tasks. I was forever having to change positions as limbs and butt cheeks went numb followed by pins and needles as the circulation returned only for other bits to go numb until I moved again. I made it work for a few months.
I'm not sure work attire is necessary for me. I love the comfort of sportswear, I start the day with a beach walk and my best productive work time is after the evening meal. I love to sit at my laptop and get a bunch of stuff done during this "down" time.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
