    UPDATED: Everything You'll Need to Work from Home

    UPDATED - 25th March 2020: 

    Following the recent government measures surrounding the outbreak of coronavirus, it's likely that the majority of workers are now working from home. With that in mind, we've updated our guide with some further resources to keep you working as effectively as possible despite the circumstances. We've got resources to help you stay productive (and sane!), ways to spend your well-deserved breaks and how to make remote working feel like the new normal.

    Apps to help you stay productive & healthy whilst working from home 

    There's a whole host of apps that can make this new normal feel a bit more positive. Maintaining physical and mental wellbeing is crucial for keeping yourself healthy and productive. 

    For fitness, we love Down Dog - which has made all of its workout and yoga apps and videos free for those practising at home. 

    Taking this time to learn a new skill is also a good way to adopt a positive outlook on the situation. Don't wait until flights are running again: Duolingo gives you the option to learn 20+ languages for free, with great options to keep kids occupied too. Start now, and you'll be fluent by the time you are back to your daily commute. 

    Apple has a list of helpful apps (many of which are also available on Android) to keep you healthy whilst at home, including Houseparty to connect with friends to Calmfor your mental health.
