Ann Marie, you’re the best online English teacher, you speak clearly and slowly I wish in the future speak like you! Your lesson are very useful for me. God bless you ❤️ for share your knowledge with us!
Have been working remotely for the past 3 months, one thing I found that it’s harder to resolve conflicts when u r not physically in the same location with your coworkers and harder to do team building. And I am sure everyone experiences self isolation from time to time.
I've been working from home for almost 2 years, and I'm pretty good at cutting myself off from the world and developing a productive routine. Sometimes I don't have strong bandwidth to minimize my context switching, so I adjust to keep focused and handle different matters simulaneously.
Hi Annemarie, it is a great lesson thank you, I appreciate your help. As the nature of my profession was not allowed me to work from home. But my husband is working from home for almost 3 months now and he is crazy busy all day long. He is so much busy that even he can't break up his day like everything is happening at the same time, he works on two monitors and replying to many emails and attending meetings and trying hard to be productive. So for the whole day, he has to completely shut out the world, no time to unwind himself even sometimes he couldn't steal 15 minutes to have lunch. I think it can't go on like this too long as he has not enough time for brainwork and he is so exhausted.
HI Sumera, thank you for sharing your experience and great job using language from the lesson like shut out the world, no time to unwind, and steal a few minutes of time. I'm sorry to hear it's been a struggle for your husband though. It sounds very stressful and I hope he'll find opportunities to step back from his work so he doesn't feel so exhausted.
Great lesson ... I was really needing this lesson , or at least hear . After that home office I forget myself and also practice my English. You are wonderful.
Speak Confident English i am still at home . I live in Brazil and schools and university are still closed . Just now i am trying to organize my life for that new routine. Continue with your work in that canal i am so thankful for that 😘
Thank you Annemarie for such useful lesson! Not only because of English expressions but also for the tips how to structure our time, our working hours. I need it now very much. For I have difficulties with maintaining a good balance between profesional and personal life. I'm working remotely, for me it means that very near my kitchen! It's a big temptation to have another sandwich... And other distractions... So I have to block out the best morning hours to stay focused on my work.
Working from home, no office drama, no noisy cubicles, no office gossips, no hearing others talking on speaker phone, less sightings of office politics (out of sight, out of mind), can focus on getting work completed and be productive. Then "go home" happy feeling accomplished for a work day.
I'm working remotely currently. I enjoy being on a virtual team.I find that the biggest benefit of doing a job remotely is saving time and money. Until now I've managed to break up my day and create time to unwind. Sometimes I find it challenging to shut out the world. I haven't felt self-isolated as I live with my family. I prefer doing a job remotely :)
Speak Confident English find a space to be my new place to work. Is important to have all very organized, thanks for your advices 😊 everyone who is working at home should take a look to this video.
Personally, it is almost impossible to work from home and it is also very challenging for me to do that since I was always distracted by outside. I prefer working in a physical environment and talking with my coworkers at their convenience, which makes me more natural to balance between professional and personal life. Of course, I really do not like to be isolated since it lacks opportunities to communicate with or make some friends.
Thanks for your video! Many new and useful words. I am not doing teleworking, I go to the office 3 times per week. But I would like to work remotely and have more time for myself.
I admire the quality of the contents in your videos and how you present them. Many thanks. But I would be more grateful if you had a podcast channel too. Because I like doing listening practices while walking. Now I am downloading this video to my mobile as audio-only to practice later.
Hello Annemarie thanks for the great lesson and all your effort, I really appreciated it. Unfortunately I am not WFH but nowadays everything is with Zoom to engage with others. Mean while I am studying at home or just attending webinar at zoom or just at youtube so I block out time on my day to be there. Also sometimes I need to unwind from "my projects" to do something else at home and also dedicate time to do my walks during the week. Have a fantastic week, take care and stay healthy
Hey Annemarie. Love your videos. I often use them in my lessons. In addition to asking my ss to write their own sentences with their favorite words/phrases, I prepare a set of gap-fill questions for discussion. What are the pros and cons of ______________? Do you know anyone who is a digital __________? How can you avoid feeling __________ out at work? Would you rather _________ or Skype for our next meeting? Do you have the _________ to take on new tasks at work? Do you find it easy to _________ out the world when working online? How important is it for you to create time to _________ from work? What times do you _________ out on your calendar to do personal things? How do you __________ up your day now that you’re doing your job remotely? How easy is it for you to _________ a few minutes of your work routine to do personal stuff? Have you been able to minimize __________ switching now that you’re working from home?
Very exited video! I like it! When quarantine started our university shutdown and our team from my work also started work remotely. To do a job remotely is ideal way to be protected from virus, but for me it's have some negative sides. At first I want to tell you about my problem with blocking out time on my schedule. I always loose my concentration and cant deep focus on work. My relatives or my cat distraction me. The second reason why I am feeling myself disappointed is feeling that I always at work. I can't create time to unwind and I usually have blurred lines between professional and personal life. After one month such life I am burnt out and feel self-isolated. I am missing my friends, colleagues, my boyfriend. But I believe that it's protect my health from COVID-19
Hi Tanya, thank you so much for sharing your experience. It certainly is hard to adjust working at home and finding opportunities to unwind. I hope you'll be able to find some successful strategies to do so. Excellent job using language from the lesson such as to block out time, deep focus work, unwind, blurred lines, burnt out and self-isolated!!
Great tips and I love the way you grouped this topic as a lesson: it is so updated to the times we are living now! I guess it happens to all of us working from home: blurred lines between professional and personal life and trying to minimize context switching to stay on track. These are not easy tasks at all, and your lesson was not only about thriving in English, but also about thriving when WFH. Thanks!
I couldn’t have describe better. I liked when you said “advantages and consequences” instead of “pros and cons” or “advantages and drawbacks” . Best wishes
Thank you for your lesson! I really appreciate the vocabulary you share. Thank you not only for language skills but also for great speciefic knowledhe of the issie you are talking about. I work remotely now due to virus. This lesson will help.
I’m working remotely right now and it’s a real challenge because I often feel cut off from the world and it’s also difficult to break up my daily tasks.
You are an amazing teacher. Thank you very much. I am a Malaysian. I am thankful that I have an opportunity to learn English during this working from home period. My next step is to train myself to be a confident presenter as I will always feel anxious when people asking me questions during the meeting and also presentation. Do you have tips to provide me?
Hi Anne-marrie, first of all thank you for all your valuable lessons. I'd like to see a video on 'How to introduce your boss or team members in a zoom meeting' or in general meeting etiquette. Keep doing good work 🌟 Thanking in anticipation. :) Love from India.
Very usefull lesson. Thank you. Even I don't work remotly I have many friends who feel closed off the world. This system works pretty good for companies' cost but it isn't good for relationship between workmates:( Hope People could easy find blurred lines between professional nad personal life...
Good Morning! I don't work at home but i take english classes on (or at?) Google meet or Skype and often the connection is unstable. hugs from Brazil!!!
Thank you for this lessen, but My experience is so diffecult in working remotly, the main distraction i have is what causes by My kids, so now i m looking for an office To do My work effeciently. Any suggestion please. Thanks in advance.
If I got a chance to work at home I would do choose virtually online work at home because we don't need to go every whatever place or office I can do works online at home we would do work remotely Away from home sometimes we can be frustrated in traffic if you would have a car so I recommend to work at home and the second thing we can spend a little bit of time with our family member because we can save the traveling our home to our office time those saved time we spend our family
Hi from Iraq , it the moment I am sitting with my friend in the village and follow your video , my friends tell me that tell her hello from Iraq and many thanks
I have been working remotely for the past 7+ months.. Had burred line between personal and professional life.. Even though i had block out time for a meeting, i couldn't shut the world out since I have a toddler in my home.. I always tried to steal some time to unwind me, but that was less likely to happen.. as a result, i fee burnt out often.. Now, that am switching over to a new company, am expecting myself to have the enough bandwidth to stay focused and to have a good work-life balance.. Btw, thanks for your videos, its all really helpful.. Thumbsup👍
I have two kids and it is very difficult for me to steal a few minutes time to work or create time to unwind. So if I want to have everything done ( work, cleaning, cooking a so on) I need to break up my day and minimize context switching.
