Every June, the relentless summer sun chases away my creative spark, leaving nothing but a lukewarm, unproductive haze. But this year, I’m not letting the temperature dictate my output.
The worst heatwave in Western Europe has shown me that planning and adaptability are key. Embracing flexible working hours, cooling down my workspace, and staying hydrated have made all the difference. Projects now come in smaller chunks, with frequent breaks to catch a chill — and surprisingly, these minor adjustments are more effective than fighting against the heat.
As Tom May wisely notes, adapting our work schedules for increased periods of extreme heat is no longer an option. It’s part of the job description now. So, if today feels sluggish, tomorrow will be a fresh start. And when all else fails, investing in a discreet fan like Shark's TurboBlade can make a world of difference.
