I like the idea of going for a big run too! I’ve been trying to get more exercise in throughout the day but have been finding it’s either blindingly hot or freezingly cold or drippingly wet recently. Or perhaps I’m just lacking moral fibre?

I’ve spent a large part of the last 6 months working from home for the first time in my life and while I do sometimes miss the buzz and banter of the office environment, I’ve managed to bypass the politics and pointlessness of everyday office routines, save money on commuting and generally become a lot more engrossed in my work..producing better and more consistent results..which I couldn’t do to the same level when I was working under tight deadlines in an office.

I get up at 7am and plan my to-do list
Work solidly until 930am
Call my boss or client for an update
Have breakfast
Go for a big run around 12am everyday or make some music
Have lunch
Then work through until 7 or 8pm sometimes without rushing like you would in an office
Or sometimes go out for a few hours in the afternoon, get home for 6pm and work in the evening

When I do need to travel into town to meet my team or a client I always make sure I cycle and save money as well..

I could never work from home long term and now have a job which is a 50/50 split and keeps me on the move, but it is a great for while..
