There was once a time where people considered “work” to be a location. There are some dinosaurs who still consider “work” to be a location rather than an activity we do as part of our employment. Just to remind us all: Work is defined as: I really like the purpose side. I do wonder howContinue reading “It’s time to get flexible”

Well, I still need to talk! We all do!
This feels like an update on the past few years. A few years ago I wrote a piece accepting that I have mental health challenges. It talked about that perception you can create about yourself. That view that people see of someone calm and serene – dare I say happy. But as I have exploredContinue reading “Well, I still need to talk! We all do!”
It comes down to flexibility, culture and community, does it?
I sit down and talk to my eldest son. He is only 11. We have one of those conversations where you are not sure where it might go. It went to the past of how things are now and how he struggles to comprehend a world without the internet, with only limited TV channels andContinue reading “It comes down to flexibility, culture and community, does it?”
We must do better for our working environments
There have been a fair number of posts recently about people returning to the office. Now I’m a fan of the office and it serves a part of my working time – that said I see the benefits of alternating working models and spend my time split across both home, corporate office and co-working spaces.Continue reading “We must do better for our working environments”
Dad’s just want to have fun!
It hits you! The household is a little more irritable than normal. Everyone’s just a little lower in tone. A holiday is just what the doctor orders! The problem is we are working more hours and taking less time off. We are in theory always on at the moment. This is bringing us all sorts ofContinue reading “Dad’s just want to have fun!”
A reset for our health and wellbeing
The great big reset for our health and wellbeing. Let’s put aside the need for cost savings and bottom lines. The way we are working has completely evolved – like it or not it has. We can focus on office vs home vs remote vs hybrid until the sun comes home but if we reallyContinue reading “A reset for our health and wellbeing”
Just what the doctor ordered!
Just what the doctor ordered! It hit me in mid-March 2022. I had burnt out. The last two years of work and well life has been a drain. The adjustment to a new-normal and a continuing change of how things are has meant that I have worn myself thin. Thin like butter on a granaryContinue reading “Just what the doctor ordered!”
We need to look after ourselves
So I have not been able to write recently – life has gotten very busy. A combination of family and work related challenges has meant that I needed to focus elsewhere and to unwind I have been trying to spend more time outside enjoying the natural world. Particularly as the evenings have become lighter IContinue reading “We need to look after ourselves”
Our health deserves better
Following my last blog: Built Environment & Our Health I have continued to explore the linkage between health and the built environment. Our health can be split into mental and physical health. Mental health refers to cognitive, behavioral, and emotional well-being. It is all about how people think, feel, and behave. Physical health is theContinue reading “Our health deserves better”
The built environment and our health
The built environment is a key impactor on our lives. It can either support or harm our physical & mental health, our wellbeing and overall quality of life. Our homes where we live, our workplaces (which could be our home, office or another location), our leisure space and our learning space. They all cross overContinue reading “The built environment and our health”
