"I have to refill the kettle a lot and there are still not enough hours in the day. But the positives are that I still feel connected to the team. Living alone means I really value time on calls with the team and seeing their faces (I do that TV presenter thing where I wave at everyone, cringe). There's no commute anymore and we get to share more dog pics!"
"Good communication is key, even more so at home. As there's so much distance between people, you can't just shout across the room. Keeping everyone up to date about what's happening in the company and our general daily lives really helps to keep motivation high. It means everyone is in the know about client goings-on which is needed when working on large projects."
Bolt's entire team shifted to working from home and experienced challenges adapting routines and maintaining connections. Team members reported practical issues like pet interruptions, frequent kettle refills, lost commute time, and a shortage of working hours. Strong, proactive communication became essential to keep everyone updated on company activities, client work, and general daily life, sustaining motivation. Living alone increased the value of video calls and visible faces to preserve social connection and team cohesion. Flexibility allowed occasional household tasks during the day and emphasized treating workdays seriously while accommodating small personal breaks. Deliberate communication, flexibility, and intentional social contact helped maintain productivity and morale while working remotely.
