Why you shouldn't work when sick
🤒 I got pretty sick a few weeks ago, and for whatever reason, I kept on working!
I did have one day off, as I couldn't get out of bed, but the other days I powered through.
The result?
I took far longer to recover, and the work I did do was much worse than my usual work!
In this video I take you through some brief thoughts on why we work when we're ill.
I will look in a bit more depth at a few questions:
Why should we take time off when we are ill?
Should we take time off even if we work from home?
I hope you find it helpful- let me know if you have any questions in the comments.
