The unprecedented Covid-19 crisis is profoundly reshaping the organisation of work. Everyone reacts differently depending on their personality and their current state of mind, moving from denial to anger, from fear to depression… The major uncertainties linked to bringing this literally “extraordinary” situation under control and to managing the post-crisis period are disrupting how we all function.

With all the digital tools at our disposal, we risk overload due to the exponential increase in demands…

So, to avoid falling into this infernal trap, let us take advantage of this very particular period to rethink our relationship with time.

Distinguish the urgent from the important, take a step back from our working practices, make the best possible use of Zoom, BigBlueButton, Skype, WhatsApp and other tools… all objectives to set for yourself to find your own rhythm when working remotely!
