COVID-19 has changed the way we work — every single one of us all around the world. No one could have predicted the pandemic’s effect on how we work.
Just as 2020 was unlike anything we’ve seen, so will be 2021 when it comes to work and productivity.
Here are my five productivity trend predictions for 2021!
I love sending paper cards. It’s a simple way to brighten someone’s day. In fact, when my Aunt Dee was alive she would send them and remind us all that we were loved.
But I realize that a lot of people will probably make the switch to digital this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This year, so many people are staying with family for extended periods or not where they usually are to stay safe from COVID-19.
I actually really like virtual cards too and when I was planning my virtual 40th birthday party this summer, I had a blast making the invitations!

One of my favorite productivity hacks is using dictation apps. Dictating is an underrated tool for getting more done. It’s really helped me curb procrastination by making it easy for me to quickly send out text messages and emails. Video can also be a powerful productivity tool but there’s something to be said for straight up audio as well.
