How Anywhere Workers Manage Isolation

Isolation

We’ve talked about isolation before on this blog, but maybe not enough.

Isolation is one of the big obstacles for anywhere workers. It’s not only a social concern – staying connected to others, but also a productivity concern. Isolation can lead to or influence your motivation. Your surroundings, your structure, and your connections are all important in staying motivated.

So how does an anywhere worker manage isolation to stay creatively productive?

stuff happens for no reason

Warning: your beliefs may be challenged by this post. It’s time for a short but powerful existential conversation. How many of these situations have you or someone close to you experienced in the last 6 months?

make your new year resolution an evolution

Do you make new years resolutions each year? Or do you not believe in them? Either way – you are right!

If you don’t, maybe you will consider this approach as it is not about goals but more about how you exist.

I love this time of year. The week between Christmas and New years. Things are calmer, all of the hustle and bustle of Christmas is over.

I reminds me of the feeling I get when I see an older couple walking arm-in-arm through the park – just taking their daily stroll and enjoying each other’s company and appreciating nature all around them. A calmness comes over me and I get a smile on my face. That is the feeling that makes this time magical. That is where a new year’s resolution gets is power – from the calm, centered place in you! Even if you don’t believe in new year’s resolutions, I suggest that you take time for you and for some self reflection.
