Back in the Game: Embracing the Return to Work After Time Away?

Bright day with palm tree.

Hi Brian back again. It has been a long time since I was on here, a lot of water under the bridge. After the COVID-19 experience, we are in a credit squeeze/inflation period. Like most people, our finances are a bit up in the air.

What’s been happening?

Earlier redundancy has had its impact on savings. Starting a handyman business was a quick fix for getting some cash to help out, but as my wife likes to keep saying ‘You are not getting any younger’. So I have decided to take on easier pursuits.

Usual ‘Return To Work’

Is the idea of returning to the workforce with a conventional so-called ‘permanent job’, which has the following advice:

If you are starting to think about returning to work, here are some first steps you can take: set yourself up well – make time to prepare for your return, create a plan, and think about your options for childcare and eldercare build your support – talk to friends and family, and seek out others who are also on the return to work journey.

My return to work is somewhat different in a way.

“Return To Work”

Back To Work, is probably a loose description for getting back into blogging/online stuff. But here we go, looking forward to an exciting 2024 after all we have had in the last year or so.

Here are the headlines

  • Set aside a permanent work area
  • Make sure you are not interrupted (which may mean working in the evening/night).
  • Have a filing system (even if it is just a cardboard box/directory on the computer).
  • Get yourself organised a desk diary is good for keeping notes of what are doing/need to do.
  • There are a multitude of computer apps that can/may help, but be aware that they can use up a lot of time trying to figure out how to use them.
  • Try and have a process for each task, that breaks the task down into a series of steps – this will help with tasks that need to be repeated – like writing a blog post.
  • Look on the internet for possible help
