What comes next — will you go back to the office?

After lockdown, will you go back to the office, or start working remotely?

Last week I wrote about working from three time frames through the current environment:

• What Comes Now
• What Comes Next
• What Comes in the Future

For many of us, we have been in lockdown anything from 3–6 weeks, with anything from 2–6+ weeks to go before limited changes are made by various governments around the world.

My question today is: “will you go back to the office?”

I’ve got two thoughts on why this is not an automatic “yes”, and a “flip the paradigm” idea to support you in considering this.

Remote vs “Working from Home”

My first thought is to “flip the paradigm”.

We’ve heard so many people say they are “working from home”, yet this contains within it an unconscious thought that their reality is that work is something you normally don’t do at home, instead you go to an office or other place of work.
