I already work from home 3 days a week, but am now full time WFH for the next 12 weeks. June 15th will be my next day in the office unless things get considerably better......

I've also been designated as a Key worker, but not having any children of school age, it makes no difference.

I've always found having a variable routine works best. I start anytime between 6 and 8, do a couple of hours, eat, another couple of hours and then either go for a run or an hours bike ride and then finish what work I have, I also vary where I work in the house. Kitchen table, sofa in the lounge, conservatory or desk in my office.

Just make sure you talk to someone during the day, even if it's the cat or dog!

Saw an ad for this.

Really?

What’s the attraction? Is it like FarmVille on steroids?

Isn't it sort of your job though?

I've started and deleted my city loads already, how do you join the bloody water and sewage up to places without tangling them.

Sort of. But then I love my job because I’ve always loved things like Sim City (and the Council planning map).

Been ages since I last played it so cant help with the sewage sorry.

I downloaded farming simulator because it was free on Xbox Game Pass and I got very addicted to it. I played it for about a 4 hours a day for a few weeks.

It's pretty much just running a farm. You start off small, mainly growing crops and harvesting them. Now that sounds boring but there is lots to do and the aim is to make things as efficient as possible which takes a bit of thinking and financial planning. You can buy animals but I haven't bothered with that yet.

It's one of those games where an hour of real life time seems to go in ten minutes.

Yeah I'd watch Limmy quite often. He's raking the money in from Twitch. He's got thousands of subscribers, gets plenty of donations and has decided to make it his full time job.

He has got a new 3 part series coming out on the BBC soon so he hasn't gone totally into the shadows.

I actually got the general gist of it from watching the aforementioned Limmy play it on his stream. I put the settings on easy and just went through the grind of plowing, seeding, fertilising, harvesting and selling until I got enough money to buy better equipment and bigger fields. You can also borrow £300,000 off the bank to help upgrading cos the stuff they start you out on is rubbish and time consuming.

I listen to podcasts and music on the Xbox Spotify app at the same time so it's become a really relaxing experience for me.

I'm not an overly big gamer either. The last game I gave any real attention to was GTA 5. Since then nothing has really took over my life, not even Red Dead Redemption which people seem to jizz over.

Didn’t know that. Wondered why nobody had given him something after he got big on Netflix.

All 10,000 of us in my organisation are working at home now, apart from those who are on incident duty.

An opportunity for a step change in how society functions perhaps. Air quality has improved markedly for example in the last couple of weeks.

Isn't it amazing how people can easily and productively work from home, when, for years, they have been told that wouldn't be possible by the companies they work for?

Hopefully this softens attitudes towards it. Apart from my Friday afternoon blip I've got loads done.

Yep, plenty of cultural changes coming from this big bang. It's needed, it is beyond stupid that you've got such volumes of traffic on the road full of people driving into cities to sit in an office, when it's perfectly easy to do it from home.

The resistance to home working is ridiculous. Quite often seems to come from senior managers who funnily enough work from home themselves, think that says a lot about how productive they are when not in the office.

I work in an office on my own, just need a laptop, yet have to commute nearly 5K miles a year. The cost, financial and environmentally isn't insignificant. Not to mention the wasted time, my commute is 2 hours on a good day, often double that. Leaving home at 7am and regularly not getting back till between 7-8pm means work ends up totally dominating your life. Now I can roll out of bed at 8:15am, or later, and I'm eating dinner as soon as I finish at 5:30pm. If we were allowed out of the house I could actually have a social life.

If I can persuade my boss to make this permanent between the savings on commuting and not having to put my dog in daycare I'd be over £4K a year better off!

It was a bizarre arrangement. They also installed some bonkers BT highway that they paid about £70 a month for - I don’t think they really thought it through
