I think that instead of time management
00:00:02
I often even like to broaden it out to
00:00:04
self-management right and when you have
00:00:07
structure which we had a lot of in terms
00:00:10
of going to work you have your commute
00:00:12
you get to work you have an office you
00:00:13
have a routine and then when the
00:00:15
pandemic just sort of changed that for
00:00:17
so many people where you have to find a
00:00:19
new structure at home you have different
00:00:21
distractions you have some less
00:00:23
distractions because you don't have
00:00:24
colleagues but you might have kids you
00:00:26
might have a lot of other devices at
00:00:28
your house that you may not have had
00:00:30
access to at work it was relearning how
00:00:33
to find routines and structure and
00:00:35
manage your time at a home office
00:00:38
especially if you weren't used to that
00:00:39
especially if you didn't work at home
00:00:41
before the pandemic so I think it really
00:00:44
radically shifted how people figured out
00:00:46
how to be disciplined how to do their
00:00:48
work and how to allocate their time in a
00:00:51
different space in a different way once
00:00:54
we shifted a lot to remote
00:00:58
work
