What a time to be alive?! I think we’ve all said versions of that statement pretty much every single day. I can’t quite believe what this year has been for all of us; so much devastation, so much abnormality, so much sadness, so much unknown. Yet, despite all of this, there have been some amazing positives that have come out of this and I wanted to touch on those today because, hell, I need to remind myself of these things every now and again.
The Busy Culture
We all fall into this trap and I remember listening to a podcast on this a while back but in normal life, our standard answer to ‘how are you’ seems to be a version of “Sooooooo busy”. Yawn.
I love how this time has forced us to take a step back, slow down and make times for the things we normally ‘too busy’ to focus on. I really hope to hold onto this going forward.
Creating coffee moments in our home
This is such a key one, and something I absolutely would not have explored had we not been confined to our home for 120 days (and counting). As you all know, I live for my takeaway coffee and always have. Aside from the much-needed coffee kick, I also just love the time-out and the little ritual of it all.
I have really loved taking the little time-out in the comfort of my own home. Making a delicious cup of coffee and doing something non-work/admin related whilst enjoying it.
We got the Philips Latte to Go machine in the early days of Level 5 and it has been such an absolute game-changer. The machine is a bean to cup (crucial, in my opinion) and is really easy to work. It makes five different coffee variants. It’s also really beautiful looking and not bulky at all, which was an important factor given our kitchen isn’t huge and the machine needed to be permanently displayed.
Another big win about this…
