Our new working-from-home way of life has led to an army of early birds changing their hours to juggle busy days and family life Dawn is breaking the birds are bursting into song and the world is free from the distractions of children, husband or emails.
I’m up, I’m at it, and I’m absolutely exhausted. I am one of the swelling ranks of ‘five to nine-ers’, getting up before 6am to get in some quality work time before breakfast.
As a freelance writer with two children and rarely enough hours in the day, I’ve done it on and off for years. Now, in the time of lockdown and its colliding of work and family life, these extra hours are essential.
