Some sector pals and I have a (very busy đŸ€Ł) WhatsApp group and it’s been a great support the last few months. Recently I suggested we set up a weekly zoom “water cooler chat”. Casual, drop in if you’re free, no agenda. There were 10 of us this week and it’s such a tonic.
I know we’re all a bit zoomed out but if you have a group of pals in the sector I’d really recommend you try it. With mostly everyone mostly WFH camaraderie and silliness can fall off the agenda. I know we’re all zoomed out but this will fill your bucket rather than deplete it.
I realised that whilst I was having loads of WhatsApp / twitter chat I wasn’t really getting any much in person human time and I missed it. This week I’ve had 2 walks with friends and have my 3rd social zoom of the week tonight. I feel so much better for it 🙌
And I know this isn’t a revelation 😂 but it’s easy to forget to connect personally at a time when we can already feel pretty over-connected. /message ends
