Day in the Life of a Minute Writer at Virteffic

I start each day with my little alarm clock letting me know he’s had enough sleep and is ready for the day. This ranges from very early to very late, and I love being able to take advantage of the lie-ins when they come instead of having to drag myself and a sleepy baby out of bed before we’re ready.
We’ll have breakfast with dad and wave him off to work out the window before doing a couple of chores and getting ready to go out. We’ll usually go to a toddler group or meet up with friends to try and tire him out for a big lunchtime nap.
Nap time is my time to work, and I’ll log on to draft some minutes or complete another task. The flexibility that Virteffic offers is brilliant – if nap time is only 30 minutes then I know I can make up my hours later, and if he has a mammoth 3-hour nap, then I get a really productive stretch of work done and relax more that evening.
After a nap and some lunch, we’re ready to go out again. We usually go to the beach or allotment to meet dad after he finishes work. This gives us a good few hours of family time each day, and sometimes we’ll bring a picnic dinner with us to stretch it out even longer. A couple of times a week, baby and dad go out for a boys’ adventure, leaving me with the flat to myself to get another few hours of work done, or if they want to stay in, I’ll take advantage of Virteffic’s office space to go and sit somewhere quiet.
The Joy of Flexibility and Career Growth
Once baby’s in bed, I open my laptop to do a few more hours of work, or if I’ve had a long day I’ll take the night off, knowing that I can make up my hours another day as long as I meet my deadlines.
I love that Virteffic is able to offer me so much flexibility to enjoy this stage in my baby’s life. He’s at a wonderful age where he’s learning to make sense of the world, and I’m so glad I get to experience that with him, while also having the opportunity to use my ‘work brain’ and advance my career. Working for Virteffic has also been brilliant for my personal wellbeing, giving me the chance to get outside every day and ignore the clock, rather than spending my working week in an air-conditioned office where even free time needs to be rushed to fit in with office hours.
The fact that the whole team works remotely and flexibly means that the system works well, and seeing other team members online meeting their deadlines at the same random hours means it doesn’t feel lonely. There’s a real culture of understanding that everyone’s human and everyone’s doing their best. As a new mum, things vary so much day-to-day and it’s brilliant having the freedom to ask for help when I’ve taken on too much, knowing I’ll be able to take on more another week.
