Working from Home (24)

I love it when child #3 comes home from school and kisses me while my video camera is on. And I never had negative feedback (until now).

It’s ok to be distracted for a moment.

it's ok to...
have dodgy wifi
stand, sit or lie down for meetings
switch off your camera
to have a stretch or eat an apple
have your pets, partner, housemates or children gatecrash your video conference
turn (another) video conference into a walk and a phone call instead
not check email or ping out of hours
add some gaps and pauses to your day
to think and rest
put your family before your work
not know everything
be confused

Update from 6 September 2021: I had the first negative reaction. One colleague asked me after a face-to-face meeting, what is wrong with my child #3. The other colleagues around me ask this colleague, what is wrong with him.
