Working from home time

Now more than ever, there’s an overlap between professional and personal life

I’m writing this from my conservatory. The RSC office in Cambridge is closed until the end of April; every day more companies, schools and universities worldwide are implementing similar shutdowns.

I’m one of the lucky ones. I can do my normal job with just a laptop, and living with someone who has worked from home full-time for years means I have access to high-speed internet and a variety of spare monitors, keyboards and other useful tech (though we only have one decent office chair between us).

Despite these advantages, setting up for a long period stuck at home has been somewhat disorientating.
