Post-lockdown reflections — working from anywhere

Peter du ToitI'm the founder of FutureWork IQ where I spend my time assisting businesses to improve their climate literacy so as to understand the projected impacts from the expanding climate crisis and how to adapt their workplaces in the face of these impacts.

“What we’ve proven is that you can work from anywhere, for any company. So what you’ll see is a separation between where I choose to live and where I choose to work.” —Anna Curzon

Since technology has liberated work from the four walls of a physical office, we now have so much freedom! If you long to live in the country away from a congested city you can! Being location independent means de-urbanization is now a reality!

This is a move we made two years ago. We moved out of a congested city into a peaceful, close to nature, coastal town, where our quality of life is so much better! No bad air quality, no traffic, friendly people and a slower pace.

All thanks to a digital workplace or as I like to call it an “office in the cloud.”

People used to say “I wish I could live there, but I have to be here for work.”

No more! What a time to be alive.
