Procrastination is the result of delaying or postponing a task, or set of tasks, and can manifest in many ways. While procrastination is often confused with laziness, the two are very different. “Lazy” is one of many unhelpful labels we can be quick to use when we’re not feeling motivated to take action.
This week, we welcome guest contributor Laura Garber, founder of Craftresumes, who shares with us 4 key steps you can take to stop procrastination from having a negative impact on your career.
So much has changed in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. It’s these changes - both on a personal, and a professional level - that we’re looking into this week.
As a small business, Calmer has also been experiencing changes. Working as a remote team, our digital communications have continued, however with more leniency around call times, and who’s in on our call (family members make the occasional appearance!)

Are you working from home at the moment? As we follow guidance to reduce the spread of coronavirus, many of us are finding ourselves working from home for potentially the first time. This shift in routine can be a difficult transition, even for people who may have already spent a portion of their time working from home each week.
If you are a manager of a team, or a professional whose working hours are continuing as normal, only this time from your home office, this guide is for you. Follow these useful tips to ensure the best health and safety measures are taken while working remotely.
With a surge of awareness around mental health, we’ve also seen a resurgence of natural mood boosters. Strategies like mindfulness, a healthy diet, quality sleep, consumption of herbal drinks over sugary ones, and yoga practice are widely accepted as successful practices for better mental health.
In this post, we detail the top eight natural food and beverage mood-boosters to stock as office snacks, or in your kitchen cabinets, for an everyday routine to encourage positive mental health.
With the way we work changing dramatically in the last decade, there has been a rise in demand for flexible working. Some employers are already seeing the benefits of this change, and employees too.
In fact, according to the CIPD, 87% of the UK workforce would like to work more flexibly, and there is a strong demand for flexible working from men and women and across all age ranges.
Here, we explore the benefits of flexible working, how it changes existing working structures, and the positive impact on mental health involved in a more flexible working day.
