You need not be alone

When working from home

But you need to get out of your bed

Stick to your routine

There’s time later to dream

Carry on being productive instead.

You can still meet online

Just agree a good time

You can still talk about the same things

Try to find a quiet place

To make your workspace

Homeworking opportunity brings

Take a virtual tea break

Share that e-cake

Create a video hang out

We are social creatures after all

So make that FaceTime call

There’s plenty to talk about

The meeting’s on-line

That’s the only difference this time

Still have agendas and get someone to take notes

Always remember if you can

Two agree an action plan

And perhaps finish with motivational quotes

‘Cos it is time like these

When sailing stormy seas

We need to keep our spirits strong

We can still have fun

Whilst getting work done

Being “roughly right but not totally wrong”

Have outcomes in mind

And then you will find

You will achieve what you need to get done

Celebrate what you achieve

Not what you leave

There will always be things left undone

But stay safe and well

‘Cos only time will tell

How long we will have to work this way

But always keep in mind

To love and be kind

And we will grow stronger day by day.
