The corporate opinion on WFH: a timeline

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

A gentle reminder of the word ‘matutolypea’: grumpiness or downheartedness first thing in the morning.

Based on Latin and Greek, literally ‘morning grief’, or ‘sorrow of the dawn’.

[Richard Hewison @RichardHewison]

Average house price today: £285,000
Average salary today: £26,000

Multiple : 11x

House price 1993: £56,500
Salary 1993: £17,800

Multiple : 3.2x

To those saying “oh we survived higher interest rates in the 90s” : YOUR house price was NOT 11 times your salary!

It’s my birthday. I’m 37 and I have some things I’d like to share, in no particular order.

1. No one thinks about you more than you do. That thing from two years ago that keeps you up at night? No one else remembers. Honor the memory and let it go.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

My regular reminder that to have the ‘mubble fubbles’ (16th century) is to experience a bout of melancholy such as the Sunday evening blues, combined with a vague sense of impending doom.

My whole life has been a lie.

The 3 bank holidays this month have effectively been a trial run of a 4 day workweek in the UK.
What are the results?
Incredible national happiness, a surge in demand and economic activity. No negative impact on productivity. A breath of fresh air for creativity, rest and love.

6/ Clear out distractions

Our attention span is very limited, and our interruptions take a big toll on it.

• Put your phone on DND
• Headphones on
• Focus

Have a pen and paper nearby to jot down anything that comes to mind so you can deal with it later.

5/ Block your time

After you decide what is due today, you need to put that on your calendar.

If tasks are floating around in a timeless limbo, they will never get done.

Map out every task on your calendar:

• deep work
• meetings
• errands

If you’re wondering how (or indeed why!) we turned Bake Off into a musical, this is a great peek behind-the-scenes at the process of bringing the show to stage ✍🏼

[Jim McMahon OBE MP @JimfromOldham]

We do already pay to see a GP, attend A&E. it’s called paying our taxes fairly.

I know this is a developing concept for the cabinet, but just because some don’t pay their way, shouldn’t mean working people pay twice. https://t.co/Hx8bi4LyIC

That's it. That's the story.
