I have tried to like bluetooth headphones, I really have. I have tried on-ear and Airpods (the pro variety). I live in the Apple eco-system, so I always end up reaching for my Earpods – here is my rational for staying ‘old-skool’. Simplicity The just fit in your pocket, and you don’t have to charge them. I repeat, you don’t have to charge them! No extra cables, no little box for your headphones to live in whilst they charge.

Many of us are contemplating the return to the regular commute. Perhaps we aren’t going to be commuting quite as regularly as before, but commute we will. The current thinking seems to be pushing us towards a ‘hybrid’ style of working, with some days in the office but the majority spent at home. Back into the grind of the commute we go. This time it really will feel like the commute is eating into our time, time we had got used to having to ourselves.

It looks like I am going to be one of those hybrid workers, in the office 2-3 days per week. COVID19 has taught organisations and employees that the daily grind of office working isn’t getting the best from us. With a mixed home/office working week, the so-called ‘hybrid’ model becoming the schedule of choice for office-based employees. There is plenty of information for leaders and managers on hybrid working, this from HBR is a useful summary, but little for us employees on how to navigate hybrid working.
