المحتوى

Even pre-Covid, work was changing. More of us are working in ways that are less structured - but with no upper limit to how much we can do. The pressure of those things can make it hard to relax, hard to work efficiently and hard to keep up.The best solutions are often the most simple… and that’s what we’re going to explore in Coming Up For AIR. We look at when to work, how long to work and how long to work on in each ‘block’ of diary time.It’s not rocket science but it is based on the research of how we work best when we’ve got too much work and a bit of agency about how we do things.
