Life in lockdown: A time to reflect
Life in lockdown: A time to reflect
Posted By admin |15 Jul 2020
At the start of the year when the 2020 Manchester board met for our planning day, no one could have predicted exactly what the upcoming months would bring. Which is why halfway through one very strange year, our board of directors decided to get together to reflect on this challenging time and what 2020 has taught us so far. What we’ve missed During lockdown many events, celebrations and plans have had to be cancelled and sorely missed. Some key things our team have missed are:
- Friends and family
- Changes in our environment
- Our work teams and offices
- Fresh coffee
- Restaurants
- Home hair cuts
- Meeting in parks and car parks (just to see friends and family from 2m apart)
- Watching Netflix *more on this below
- Reading
- Home workouts
- Baking banana bread
- Volunteering
- Painting
- Contagion (scary how similar the movie is to real life)
- Selling Sunset
- Schitt's Creek
- Below Deck
- Little Fires Everywhere
- It’s important to get things off your chest and talk to those around us
- Be kinder to yourself
- Take time to learn new skills
- Don’t wait around, as you might miss the boat.
- Carrying on with the ‘new normal’
- Adapting to change
- Continuing with events
- Communicating
