The results
Mostly A: The organised one
Your schedule is planned down to the minute, your desk is spotless and your coffee is ready before 8 am. You love planning, anticipating what’s coming and meeting deadlines. Your colleagues know they can count on you.
Mostly B: The multitasker
You easily find the right balance between efficiency and well-deserved little breaks. You work at your own pace without putting unnecessary pressure on yourself.
Mostly C: The zen remote worker
Remote working is your favourite playground. You love the freedom it offers… sometimes a little too much! Deadlines eventually manage to steer you back on track.
Mostly D: The acrobat
Between two meetings, you fold the laundry, empty the dishwasher or run the hoover around. You make the most of remote working to optimise every minute…
And what if you’re a mix of several profiles?
Good news: that’s perfectly normal! Few remote workers fit neatly into a single category. Depending on the day, your workload or your mood, you can switch from one profile to another.
The key is to find a routine that allows you to be productive while maintaining a healthy balance between your professional and personal life.
