This week marked exactly one year since working from home became the new normal. I went from travelling back and forth to London a couple of days a week and spending the rest of my time working from a local office to rarely travelling further than across my landing to my study.

I decided to export my Outlook calendar into CSV format to see just how I’ve spent the past year. Highlights, if you can call them that, are:

• 219 Days working from home (all day event named WFH)
• That’s 1,642.5 hours sat at my desk if we take the contracted 7.5 hours as the working day
• I’ve had 1105 Microsoft Teams meeting invites in that period and 45 Zoom calls
• In total the Teams meetings in my calendar ran for 904 hours and 35 minutes, or 37.7 days
• I had 274 meetings named Catch Up, that’s a lot of catching up
• 5 days were spent at office locations, 4 Days in the Reading Office and 1 Day on client site in 102 Petty France
• 27 Days Annual Leave
• 8 Bank Holidays

No real point to make other than I probably spend way too much time on Teams calls I don’t really need to be on…
