Time to train up the mini developers and keep them occupied with a fun yet educational activity. Take a look at Scratch, a free online site that teaches programming to kids. Get them to create their very own game with drag and drop blocks.

If you are working from home you may find it difficult to self motivate and get things done. There are lots of apps that you can use that allows you to manage your workload. ⁠ ⁠ Our Social Media Manager uses Todoist to not only keep track on all of her tasks for a week but also to allocate them to each day and create recurring tasks so you can tick them off when complete and allow them to reappear on the correct day. Ticking off tasks as you do them helps you feel productive ...which is really important when working from home. ⁠ ⁠ Do you use an app to keep track of your daily tasks?⁠ ⁠ #WorkingFromHome #WFH #Todoist #34SP

By now you’ve undoubtedly seen a lot of updates from a variety of companies regarding their plans and policies surrounding the trending outbreak of the novel coronavirus. We wanted to very briefly share our own.
Thankfully the nature of our work makes us better placed that most to adapt to the challenging situation. Starting today we’ve formally activated our plan to allow all staff to work remotely for an indefinite period. Indeed we already allow staff to work remote once per week as a small perk, so the transition is relatively simple for us as a company. Our office also remains open to those staff who might need a place to work and/or live very close.
