It really is an interesting time to be alive. In the past week, the UK has gone into near enough a full-baked lockdown. You have the sensible; who are practising social distancing and adhering to guidelines, and then the not so sensible; who are forming enormous queues outside supermarkets and turning feral hoarding supplies.

With it looking like the case of lockdown for at least three weeks, it is important to stay productive and keep engaged despite the uncertain and anxiety fueling times. Some of you will be working from home, working more or less the same as you would if you were in the office. But some, unfortunately, will not be able to work and will be sat at home twiddling their thumbs going crazy.

In the midst of the craziness, I have come across some useful insights to keep yourself productive during the pandemic. I have been exploring some of these already over the weekend, and am excited to dive into others over the next coming weeks.

It is important to stay motivated and happy during these difficult times, and not be swallowed up by the constant fear that the news and media emit. Stick to the guidelines – stay home, stay happy and stay healthy.
