Some thoughts on working from home

It’s an oft-repeated comment, but we really are having to learn to live our lives in ways that are as novel as Covid-19 itself.

Our Best Practices When Working from Home

In the wake of all the changes and uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, ClearPeople are working hard to keep our spirits up and our business running as smoothly as possible given the circumstances.

Discussing the future of Microsoft Teams, Office 365 and Yammer

How many five minutes can you find?

I'm finding myself thinking a lot about 5 minute blocks. I see these blocks of time all around me - my day is made up of them.

Often they annoy me because I could have done more in those 5 minutes. I am mainly aware of this during my working day. Outside of work I don’t mind so much.
