  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation Work from Home
    It takes the average worker in the United States 26 minutes to travel to work. One way to fix long commutes would be to make cities more affordable. An even simpler option: promote the use of telework. How have you used technology to replace in-person meetings or work this year?

    A majority, if not all, of my meetings in a day are typically through Teams and a conference room is not even an option. Most of these are still attended at my desk in the office as required by the company policy to only work from home two days a week. But for the two days allowed to work from home, Teams is an excellent resource to substitute in-person meetings.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Health Exercise Daily
    How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?
