An Update from Robert — Allstate NI

I am finding that the ATC and working from home have been the perfect marriage. In my pre-pandemic office-based work, my main activities throughout the morning/day was commute to work, maybe walk to the shops or around the local roads and commute home from work. WFH provides me the ability to log on to my computer as early as I want to, which in turn allows me to complete tasks as early as I want to, which gives me time throughout the day should I need to pop to the shops or go for a short walk just to clear any cobwebs. Also a great opportunity to get in a bit of exercise. I know that if I return to office-based work, my day will not be the same as pre-pandemic, in that I will be looking for ways to improve my exercising regime, especially walking. At the time of writing this, it is 5.05 am. The plan for today is to work on some work-stuff now up until 7.00 am, then take a walk through the quiet streets to the shops. I love doing this and listening to the radios, TV's, alarm clocks going off and lights coming on as the place wakes up. I could still do this at 7.00 am any day anyway, but its nice to know that when I get home my work has already been started and I can enjoy my coffee and bun and watch the news and be that little bit more relaxed! Also, I could just make my journeys by car, but I've come to understand more about the things I'm missing out on - the simple things - which don't cost anything but are real valuable. And where's the challenge in taking the easier/quicker option?
