Questioning how productive you really are while WFH? Wondering how to switch off when your work life is your home life is your work life (and repeat)? Turns out, there are unique challenges women who work from home face, as we head firmly into a working from home revolution.

Today on ARRIVED., I chat to female leadership journalist and author, Harriet Minter, about

– why the language of contemporary women's magazines still assumes outdated tropes of women's work lives – even in 2021 
– how Harriet came to launch the Women in Leadership section in the Guardian newspaper
– how the post-pandemic hybrid work from office / work from home model could actually edge women out of promotions and career advancement
– how to rethink your productivity (and that afternoon nap!)  when working from home 
– why regularly working more than 40 hours/week can lead to disease
– how to set better boundaries around your professional life so that working from home doesn't turn into 'living at work'

Harriet's new book, WFH: How to Build a Career you Love Outside the Office is available now at all fine booksellers.
