A Simple Work From Home Day in The Life Scaling Spacegoods to £50m - Goblin Mode - Doc Ep 95

Yo. This is a pretty typical work from home day, day in the life with some details. Don't know how much detail I'm going to go into, but it's pretty grotty. This is not normal. I don't normally eat breakfast. I normally have my hydration, my rainbow dust and something else going on there. Big nootropic blend. But it's not very glamorous. I'm not in the office today. I'm dialed in for the final week in this Airbnb. I've been living in in southwest London, which has not been the ideal setup, but I've made it work. So this is like the fucking throne that I'm at probably three days a week. Well, five days a week. And then I'm in the office for two days a week recently to make up seven days. Because I probably do work pretty much every day to some extent. Yeah. So I'm just gonna show some BTs of what goes on. It's probably not much to watch, to be honest. Might do some time lapse, some other stuff, but it's like a realistic day in the life. Not even a day in the life, just a work. A work day in the life. And yeah, fuck it, I might share too much, might not share enough. It's probably super boring, but might be relatable. So this is my day. Boom. So, yeah, I look absolutely horrible in this video. Was about two days out from a haircut. But this is probably way less glamorous than people think. Not that people thought it was glamorous, but particularly this Airbnb. Like, it's fucking shit compared to where I used to live. Moving out like a week hasn't been ideal, but does the job. And this is like the spare bedroom. I just lock in here when I'm doing a deep day of calls, which is pretty much this day. Patagonia T shirts seen far better days. And yeah, it's not very big. Not a great view, but big one on the Herman Miller chair. That is a super great investment. The Apple Studio display as well. I think anyone that's working a lot on like, design stuff definitely worth investing in one of those. And yeah, I probably get through like two rainbow dust every morning. Didn't really show much of that on here. In fact, I actually shared fuck all in this time lapse stuff, so bear with me. But what was I doing here? That is the wide angle lens. And yeah, I'll start talking. So I got a very busy calendar today, as every day, far too many calls. Often I just block out Time.

I.

Put things in my calendar just as a reminder to get them done. Time blocking, etc. So it's not all actual calls, but I have to do a reference call now. I have two people to call about someone where we've offered a job to subject references. And it always feels like you're kind of going through the motions. But I think it's actually a super important part hiring. The problem with references though is you tend to get given they give you the references which they've already briefed and they're always going to be super positive. So you either need to try and get like honest feedback from them that isn't necessarily always just positive, but then you also want to do like a stealth reference ideally. Hey Lindsay, can you hear me? Can you hear me all right?

Yeah, Good, thank you. I'm just in a coffee shop on Oneswear Common. The signal's a bit sketchy so let me know if it drops.

Yeah, no worries. Appreciate you taking the time. Just basically like a five minute conversation. Yeah. Potentially looking at hiring deer. And I always just like to speak to a few references. Fuck me. Hair is looking a bit dodge. That was. This is proper. But I was just saying before my camera ran out of storage. This is a very much trenches environment right now. Working from home either all day or for this morning. Whether I go in the office, I was debatable. Need a haircut. This tends to be how I just get out of bed and fucking roll when I've got a lot to do. Yeah, that was a reference call. I've got a few more calls now. Whether I show everything I'm doing today or not is debatable. Might just be more like a high level day in the life. It's not the right term because it's just work, but high level like work day at home in the life. And I'll show you some bits. Hopefully it's remotely interesting. Probably not, but relatable at least. Yeah. Then I have more calls. Try and keep calls to before like 2pm usually. But I then jumped on a reference call as you saw, which isn't that typical. But then I had an interview with a videographer potentially gonna hire for general stuff across YouTube brand, which is this guy here often put my hat on when I'm looking like shit. So that's a bit of a giveaway. Don't know what's on the table. Hopefully nothing dodgy given I'm putting it on YouTube. But yeah, I probably spend way too much time sat at the screen during the day. This is my lunchtime routine and little evening lock in. I was invited to Ibiza this week and I didn't go. So I'm playing Ibiza s music while been locked in. I didn't go because got responsibilities I guess Nah. Well I guess yeah, I just didn't go because a lot of people are off this week. We have a lot going on. We've got new hires joining and a lot of stuff that needs finishing. Sometimes you've got to sacrifice some prizes. I mean obviously the beauty of this I could go but I also didn't really want to send it. I'm kind of trying to focus on health and a bit more currently because had a few very busy relatively heavy months. Somebody going out and stuff with business stuff mainly and I have too many things I need to be here physically for this week. So do go to Bali in nine days. I'll be working out there for a while. I go every year but yeah that's kind of my I might actually have like a week off this year where I do nothing but I'll chat more on that another time. But yeah, not in Ibiza. Gonna lock in. Listen to Ibiza S music instead. If you're hustling, you're not the only one. Instagram can look like a very.

Get.

A lot FOMO on Instagram this time of year when you're dialed in trying to build something and people look like they're all either exit retired or just having fun. Obviously I have a lot of fun as well on other stuff but even when it's not your turn and you're in the trenches and other people aren't, it can be pretty demotivating. But I think the hack for that is just don't look at social media. Remember that there'll always be another trip to Ibiza and hopefully for me there'll be a post exit trip to Ibiza in a few years time where we'll be having a lot more fun anyway so not they have to sacrifice all the time but right now that's my justification, that's my cope. So yeah, let me cook. Yeah, cool. So if you enjoyed this video which is a pretty raw one, I want to see more of this. Subscribe to the Pod down below.
