Here we go again – the daily commute!
Morning. On the Train yet?
The commute to your office takes hours doesn’t it?
And, when you get there – what do you do?
- Have a coffee
- Complain about the commute and last nights TV.
- Start work at 9.27
- Do the Daily Stand Up call
- Email the person next to you
- Start the project plan
- Zoom the guys overseas
- Check Facebook
- Get distracted by the conversation at the water cooler. Who is Naby Kieta and why is he worth 50m?
- Lunch – spend £10 at Costa
Take a call from The Boss while you’re there. He’s on a Leadership Team away day. He says that the facilitator is spouting on about something called smart working – which can apparently improve productivity by as much as 13% – Pah!
- Phone the Supplier
- Sing Happy Birthday to Margaret. Eat cake.
- Chat about the cold weather with Jamie from accounts
- Email the person next to you
- Do as much of the project plan as you can – you’ll do the rest on the train home. It’s due tomorrow. Too many distractions today!
- Get the train. No room to sit so can’t do the project plan
- Read the story. Say night night to the kids
- Start on the project plan
- Yawn
- Same thing tomorrow?
