Virtual domain: Work wherever

Away from the busy business hustle it’s nice to set some time aside for some independent focus. Although working as part of a team screams its benefits and helps you nurture your work and achieve your goals. It’s equally important to get your head in the game and delegate some time to yourself in order to achieve your own goals.

Bon voyage

It’s amazing what a change of scenery can do. Not only your workstation but also a different culture. If you get the opportunity to travel with your job then you’re a lucky one. If it’s not bound in your contract then it’s worth your while to see what strings you can pull. Embracing a different culture can not only open your mind, but it’s also good to absorb a different culture’s way of work. With travel around Europe so easily accessible, it could be good to take a step back from your Skype meeting and link with your colleagues overseas. The ego-centric buzz of London contrasts greatly with the pedal-powered day you experience in the Nordics or The Netherlands and there’s often a lot you can learn from it. Technology drives our connections and it’s important to digest the fruitful conversation you can have with a colleague face to face. Body language speaks 1000 words and it could be the driving force that allows you to seal a deal.

A Good noise

A noisy office often gets bad press. It can be distracting for individuals, but some of the time a chatty buzz can be the result of meaningful discussion and exciting ideas.  Although it’s hard to sift through those that have productive chats from those that have senseless chatter it can be a refreshing change to see colleagues integrating. Your focus doesn’t have to be limited to time on your own as an individual. it may be necessary that you want to maintain and encourage others’ focus too. If you’ve got a good idea you want to share it could be worth gathering your folks and taking them for coffee to share your thoughts, or even booking a meeting room for the afternoon so you’re away from white noise and distractions. Not only will it shake up your usual day, but colleagues may appreciate the lengths you’ve gone to to get your voice heard.

Times are changing

If there’s one thing we can pride ourselves on it’s our ability to adapt.  The working world is constantly changing and demands are not only physical but virtual too.  With the rise of virtual technology allowing us to communicate, pay and deliver business needs on the go it’s easy to get lost in the technology clouds. Be wary of the powers of the internet by setting time aside with those who may be more savvy than you. Keeping on top of documents that are being passed back and forth via the means of a click of a button is really important. The benefits of being able to complete such transactions from wherever your day takes you are undeniably great but don’t loose sight of quality and control of the virtual domain.
