Only the first quarter of 2020, we're already experiencing an unprecedented circumstance.
The ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease is
affecting our families, businesses, communities and most importantly our lifestyle.
It's been two days since our PM announced the two-week isolation
but working at a utility company, we're the essential industry, hence we have to work.
Some of the non-essential departments need to wfh already but not mine.
My department hasn't officially announced that I can work from home (wfh),
yet when I asked to wfh from my boss.
The past few days, we've been having back-to-back meetings,
we're working on an exciting project,
I have no complaint about coming to the office and attend the meeting.
But last night, I just didn't feel well.
I started to develop sore throat, I kept sneezing, I have flu
and my body started to get warmer.
I'm pretty sure I didn't keep in contact with any primary suspects of COVID-19
but you never know - it could be the money, the elevator, the door, anything.
So, I asked permission from my boss, to work from home
and it's a good thing that we already had most of the things sorted out
from the meetings and my job can be done at home,
and she agreed.
The next thing I know,
everyone is allowed to wfh starting from tomorrow.
Most of my colleagues left the office by lunch today,
and continued working from home.
Am I productive?
Well, I try to be.
The best part was, I delivered.
I sent out an email to my boss, the work that I had to submit at 4:57pm.
I guess that indicated I was being productive.
How I did it, and hopefully to continue doing so?
1. Wake up at the exact time I woke up when I had to work at the office
2. Have a things-to-do list
3. Have a detailed plan on what to do and when to do it ( activities every hour)
4. Only have a nap/have lunch for an hour (just like what I did at the office)
5. Make sure to submit what's due before the normal working hour ends
6. Stop doing work outside of working hour, just so I will get used to the routine
7. Remember to give myself a break in between, do not want to tire myself
8. Do all the chores after/before working hours only
ps, I take Blackmores Vitamin C and Multivitamins as supplement because I think
I need that for my weak antibody. I hope I will recover soon, please make dua for me :)
Other than that, here are a few reminders on COVID-19 to get us going.
I hope you'll find these beneficial :)
