There’s no denying the last 12-18 months has been a challenging and turbulent time for most people. Whether that’s changes with work, having to set up an office at home and inform the kiddies they no longer have a toy room (shame on me) or the impact all this change has had on our mental health and well-being, one thing’s for sure…we all need a break!
So as I sit at my desk, in my home office I created last year when the world turned upside down and everything changed, I find myself planning my working days over the course of the school summer holidays. Something that feels quite strange, that for once, I have the freedom to take time off and very efficiently schedule my work around the joyous 6 weeks school holidays. Something only my new line of consulting work can offer me.
It feels very uplifting and liberating to be in this position, to know I can find a great, not perfect, but great work life balance and be there for my kiddies and be there for my lovely clients too.
Anyway, after experiencing however many lockdowns, home schooling and various periods of self isolation disruption when school bubbles burst, the 6 weeks holiday will be a breeze from now on!
