Description

This week Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from software developer and 'multidisciplinary geek' Ross Wintle. He says:“How the flippin flippity flip do I reduce this baseline of anxiety I have whereby every time one of my children coughs or has a borderline temperature of 37.9 I go into fight-or-flight mode expecting to have to slash my hours in half to do homeschooling again while we obtain/wait for the result of a COVID test?Do people have some kind of "plan" for how to manage this so that it's not permanently stressing them out? How do I go about booking work in when I might have to take anything up to two weeks off at a day's notice?(Context: I have two kids FINALLY both full-time at school. My wife is working pretty much full-time now and can only take limited time off. I'm aware we need to share the burden and her employer should flex as well as mine, but even so, this is a HUGE challenge and my nerves are shredded!)”What would your advice be?
