My best tip for improving your work from home experience
Переглядів 762 місяці тому
It can be hard working from home sometimes, especially during the summer when its sunny outside! If you struggle with concentrating when working from home then the best advice I can give you is to get outside and do some exercise before you start work! It will help you to settle down and focus better. The aim is to be physically tired, but mentally fired!

Why you shouldn't work when sick
Переглядів 4444 місяці тому
🤒 I got pretty sick a few weeks ago, and for whatever reason, I kept on working! I did have one day off, as I couldn't get out of bed, but the other days I powered through. The result? I took far longer to recover, and the work I did do was much worse than my usual work! In this video I take you through some brief thoughts on why we work when we're ill.

    Thank you for your insides into note taking. Maybe one idea for the action log: - an additional column for "Last Change" (date) for a quicker way to filter new additions As for the distribution of the log: Perhaps provide both an excel (for convenience) and a pdf (for documentation). I found having a fixed version of MoM/action logs can be a real saviour in the long run (and for vacation substitutes)

    If you listen to Campbell there's no hope like Bob Hope for you total idiots and remember conservative has told the British taxpayer for 14 years again you got the Labour leader he used to be the Justice minister Jimmy Savile get away with a hell of a lot of things and the BBC not in the public interest his favourite word. Liberal Democrats who brought in bedroom tax when they was with the conservators in Coalition labour stop nurses being trains in the UK. You had Thatcher sale of all social housing because she didn't want councils coming to her for government funding to repair them Tony Blair opening the Floodgates and the list goes on I can tell you who to vote for if you got any sense vote for reform you'll be quite surprised. What position I hold in the UK. But I'm definitely voting reform we've had enough in the office. Labour Mayor of London. Who is totally ruined London. And the Labour leader who used to be in charge of the justice department when Jimmy Savile was up to no good with the BBC. But it was not in the public interest as he said even though he had statements and lotto proof they was up to no good. Do you really want these people in charge of your country. Use your head listen to what Nigel Farage is saying I didn't like him at first but when you do the Maths he is spot on and he's telling the truth hurts me to say. I will be voting for reform.

    I live in France and work as a teacher i.e. in the "Fonction Publique" : relatively easy to take sick days. I was often under the weather this year. I had a lot of stressful situations to deal with ; twice as much work this year ==> less sleep/binging on junk food, which has lead my immune system to be less than operational. At least I hope this is the explanation. I vary on what to do. My principal is pretty cool and I can call in sick and have some of the missed hours put in a different timeslot. Case in point, I spent this weekend ill and in bed. I managed to teach today, but wasn't the usual efficient teacher I am. I don't know ; I haven't been really ill this year, just under the weather, enough to feel really terrible, but no visible symptoms (and my doctor needs me to be on my deathbed in order to give me a leave of absence document/authorisation). All this long ramble to say that it depends for me, sometims I power through, sometimes I don't. My principal is cool so I can call in sick and not be in trouble, but with different principals I wouldn't dare do that. Very nice video in any case, liked how you edited the video to fit your story telling and how unpretentious your style is.

    • @jdknightingale
      @jdknightingale 4 місяці тому

      Thank you for sharing! It's always interesting to hear different people's perspective. I think we can also be quite impatient with ourselves when we are sick. I know I often think I will recover immediately and then if it takes slightly longer than expected I feel disappointed in myself! Maybe we need to be more patient with ourselves! Anyway, I appreciate your kind words.

  • @SammiScoop_1

    Not sure if this is a thing in other countries but in the US we only get two weeks off of work a year. If we take a week off to get better from illness then that's 50% of your vacation you just used.

    • @jdknightingale
      @jdknightingale 4 місяці тому

      That’s really interesting. I can’t comment on other industries or companies but we don’t take ‘vacation time’ for a sick day. Instead you usually get an allowance of sick days I.e full pay for a few (possibly 5-10) days and then after this number of days it might drop to 50% pay. I’m not familiar with the US and sick days.

  • @sephmne3645
    @sephmne3645 4 місяці тому

    This is quite interesting. I'm actually just recovering from surgery and despite being told to take 2 weeks off from work, I've worked from my bed the entire time with the logic that "it's a physical wound and I'm still in bed so what's the difference?". Now I'm starting to think I should take some time off to recover 😅

    • @jdknightingale
      @jdknightingale 4 місяці тому

      That is a bit of a dilemma. I should preface what I am about to write with, I am not a doctor, so definitely prioritise what your doctor has suggested. In the main article I reference it quotes a study that suggests that non-contagious and not over debilitating illnesses/injuries are ok to work with. See the exert: 'When illness is neither overly debilitating nor contagious, there is some evidence that the benefits of going to work for employees might outweigh the costs. This view is supported by a study of over 2000 individuals affected by chronic occupational musculoskeletal disorders conducted by Howard and colleagues (2009). Employees who were designated ‘presentees’ were more likely to complete a functional restorative treatment programme and return to work full-time than those who took more sick leave. Working while sick might also be seen as an example of organisational citizenship behaviour and a sign of commitment and loyalty to the organisation.' Obviously it totally depends on what your surgery was, and how drained you feel. My advice would be, if you are allowed to have 2 weeks fully off, and you won't go mad with the time off, it will likely help! Hope this helps and you recover quickly!

    Interesting you feel your productivity has increased. I'm pretty flexible (too flexible, really!) with my PhD, so maybe I should experiment with an unofficial four day week.

    • @jdknightingale
      @jdknightingale 5 місяців тому

      It depends on the working pattern of the uni. Do they expect you to be available on every working day? If not, defo give it a go as it condenses your working time and so you kind of have to concentrate better and be more efficient with your time. Plus a day off is good for you!💪

    Super helpful video! I'm not a project manager myself, but I have great appreciation for the value that they add. The first time I was part of a project that was being run by a PMP, it was game changing. It seemed so simple. They would identify a task (or "action item" for additional gravitas) and a target date, and then came the kicker. They'd ask, "Who is going to take that one?" while glancing around at all of us. That first time, the sound of crickets was deafening. (Yes, I was one of the crickets.) Fortunately, they didn't give up on us (nor did our managers) and stuff started getting done. Wow that was quite the ramble. Thanks for making that video and much success to you!

    Good tips, but remember the context of the PM: he/she is not a 'meeting attender' or minute secretary but a manager. PMs, like general managers clarify the mission, provide resources and equip the team. They 'protect' production, check that all contributors are in effective relationships with their suppliers, customers and other team members, keep them abreast of strategic matters and work with them to tease out issues that are impeding their work. They work on team climate so that all can work effectively, and advocate for the team/project in resource, time, priority and other contests. They act as the communication hub, and let communication flow freely, they help to crystalize problems meaningfully to enable their study and solution, then they support the solution. They facilitate all parties understanding and making reliable promises and ensuring the promises are soundly made. They keep in touch with relevant stakeholders and monitor the dynamics of stakeholder salience. The keep the project sponsor/client aware of project realities, manage expectations and highlight the risks to schedule (delivery), value (performance) and budget. They manage the tempo of the project and the cadence of work definition, productive activity, deliverable acceptance and integration. They keep the client up to date, and ensure the project remains a value producer for the client.
