What drives you to do your best at work? At OpenBlend, we think that work/life balance is an outdated idea. It really takes a blend of elements from our professional and personal lives for us to feel fulfilled.
Today, as many of us adjust to working remotely, our personal performance objectives may change, or they might become clearer than ever. Either way, understanding what motivates us – and addressing how we can prioritise those things – is vital for us to thrive from home.
A good starting point is to discover your own personal blend. What elements do you need at home and at work to feel fulfilled, happy and productive – and how far off are you from achieving them? Use our blend insight tool to find your perfect blend
“It means having awareness around my own wellbeing and what is contributing to my mindset, both positively and negatively. It’s important for me to take care of myself first, to ensure I can stay on top of everything else."
“If I’m feeling in a negative headspace, it impacts my motivation and productivity levels at work, as well as many aspects of my personal life, so it’s vital for me to keep working on it.”
“It’s actually improved because I’m making such a conscious effort to stay aware of my mindset – and to be easy on myself!”
“I definitely wouldn’t be able to get any work done at home without motivation and productivity! Luckily I learnt that very quickly when I started working from home two days a week last year, but five days a week is a whole new ballgame!”
