Good morning, This is Laura. 23 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: Welcome to the New Corner Office, the podcast where we 24 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: share strategies for thriving in the new world of war, 25 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: where location and hours are more flexible than in the past. 26 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: Today's tip is to spend some time thinking about your 27 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: post pandemic schedule. I know a lot of people have 28 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: gone through massive upheaval in the past few weeks. Job 29 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: losses and economic insecurity could linger for a while, but 30 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: in crises there's an opportunity to change things that might 31 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: have been hard to change before. With everything canceled for months, 32 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: there's an opportun unity to rebuild schedules from scratch, asking 33 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: what deserves to be there, rather than just trimming at 34 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: the margins. Many of us are rethinking how we spend 35 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: our time these days. Sometimes this is part of necessary 36 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,839 Speaker 1: career pivots. I've spent many of my work hours over 37 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: the past few years giving speeches at conferences. That business 38 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: model is definitely taking a hit this year, so I 39 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: need to figure out something else. Maybe you're needing to 40 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: pivot too, or maybe your basic job is safe but 41 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: working remotely for the past six weeks has made you 42 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: rethink what actually has to happen where you can no 43 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: longer picture driving an hour each way five days a 44 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: week to email and call people in other places. Maybe 45 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: you've realized that you desperately miss some colleagues, but you're 46 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: kind of happy to be physically away from others. Maybe 47 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: you've been forced to take on a new job responsibility, 48 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: and in the process you've realized that you like it 49 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: a lot better than what you were doing before. We 50 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 1: can have these realizations in our personal lives too. It's 51 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: stressful to have kids home seven, but maybe never leaving 52 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: the house has caused you to realize that certain extracurricular 53 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: activities have consumed a ton of time without any corresponding 54 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: boost in happiness. Maybe in the future you'd be willing 55 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: to let these things go. In any case, take some 56 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: time this week to picture your post pandemic schedule. I 57 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: find it helpful to design a realistic, ideal week, that is, 58 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: a week that you could theoretically live within the limits 59 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: of the real world. So no flying cars. What kind 60 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: of work would you like to be doing, When and 61 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: where would you work, who would be involved? How would 62 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: you fill your leisure time? In your family time, what 63 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: would you put back into your life, and what isn't 64 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: worth the bother? Go ahead and create a real schedule. 65 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: I use spreadsheets to track my time, and you might 66 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: try using one of these to create your realistic, ideal 67 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: week schedule. Mine has the days of the week across 68 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: the top Monday to Sunday, and half hour blocks down 69 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: the left hand side from five am to four thirty am, 70 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: right when you'll sleep, when you'll do your hobbies, or 71 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: a general pattern for the weekends. It's helpful to create 72 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: this vision because when normal life resumes, you'll be able 73 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: to use this template as a guide. If you see 74 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: that you and your family really do enjoy slower mornings, 75 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: this can nut you to decide that remote work is 76 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: a non negotiable at least two days a week, or 77 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: you can find a different job that's closer to home 78 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: or move closer to one you'd like to keep. So 79 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: what would you like your post pandemic schedule to look like? 80 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: How will you spend your hours? When you know the 81 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: answer to these questions, you can turn this vision into reality. 82 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: In the meantime, this is Laura, thanks for listening, and 83 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: here's the succeeding in the New Corner Office.
