Transitioning Back to Office Life: Tips and Snack Suggestions

Have you recently made the transition back to the office? Perhaps you’ve been working from home, enjoyed an extended holiday, or landed a new role โ€” regardless of the circumstances, readjusting to the traditional office environment can be a tad challenging. From the daily commute to team meetings, there’s a lot to factor in. On the bright side, it presents an opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and forge new friendships at work โ€” and let’s not forget about selecting the ultimate snack to share and bond over.

With this in mind, we’ve compiled five strategies to help you navigate your office days with ease, all while nurturing those relationships that make work so enjoyable.

Firstly, preparation is key! Rise and shine early to give yourself ample time to prepare for the day and accommodate for your commute. If it’s been a while since you’ve had to deal with public transit or peak-hour traffic, it might be wise to check for any disruptions or roadworks before you leave home. This is especially pertinent if you’ve become accustomed to rolling out of bed minutes before a Zoom call in your comfiest loungewear. (We’ve all been there, haven’t we?)

When it comes to powering through your workday, having a stash of delicious snacks within reach is essential. The right office snack can lift your mood, boost your productivity and help you endure the daily grind. Why not keep it simple with microwave popcorn? A crowd-pleaser, this perfectly popped and satisfying snack is the perfect pick-me-up for brainstorming sessions with colleagues. With its light and fluffy texture, microwave popcorn is high in fibre, gluten-free, non-GMO, and free from artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives. Plus, there’s a variety of flavours to choose from, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

Transitioning back to a more professional setting means it’s time to swap out your work-from-home attire for some fresh office threads. Choose a new outfit that you love for your return-to-office days. If you’re excited to wear it, it should help spark your enthusiasm about heading back into the office. This could also be a fantastic opportunity to make a lasting impression and bolster your self-confidence.

Your workload upon returning to the office might seem a bit daunting, and that’s completely normal. Plus, there’s always colleagues who want to catch up or discuss the latest project. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Remember to take regular short breaks to stretch and relax โ€” it’s crucial for both physical and mental well-being. Stepping away from your desk for a walk, or to grab a bite or a drink with a colleague is also a great way to recharge. Why not enhance your break with ready-to-eat popcorn? It’s the perfect choice for a midday stroll, an impromptu lunch gathering, or even for your commute home.

Building relationships with your colleagues can make the workday much more enjoyable. And what better way to initiate conversations with your team than by sharing snacks? When hunger strikes, turn snack time into a shared experience with microwave popcorn. The sound of popping kernels and the enticing aroma of hot popcorn drifting through the office can bring people together, sparking conversations and creating shared moments of joy and relaxation.

Elevate the fun by sampling different popcorn flavours with your colleagues on different days, and have multiple bowls out for snacking simultaneously. This way, you can learn more about your co-workers, discover their favourite flavours and share your own. Itโ€™s not just about savouring popcorn; itโ€™s about connecting and fostering relationships. Sharing snacks is a simple yet effective way to create shared moments and strengthen connections in the workplace.

In conclusion, adjusting back to office life can be smooth sailing with some preparation, the right snacks, and a positive mindset. So, why not make your return to the office a little more enjoyable with the perfect office snack – popcorn!

So happy with my new sit/stand desk. The price was very competitive and the quality is excellent. It's very unusual these days to have the level of human to human customer service Guy offered, from the time of ordering all the way to installation. Guy delivered my desk on time, put it together, set up my computer and tidied away the cables. Such a nice person, and a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend.

My brother in lawโ€™s glowing recommendation of the ergomotion sit- stand desk that he has been using for a few years now, and specially the service that Guy delivers, piqued my interest. And now I am convert!

From the moment I first interacted with Guy to the day my standing desk arrived, Iโ€™ve been nothing short of impressed. The booking process was incredibly smooth and hassle-free - Guy made everything so simple and straightforward. His customer service was top-notch, with clear communication and genuine helpfulness made the overall process even more amazing. I appreciate how patiently he answered my questions and explained the care instructions for the wooden top.

For the product itself! The standing desk is a game-changer - the attention to detail, premium material used, beautiful design, smooth adjustment all transformed my home office. The craftsmanship is top-notch. What really sets this experience apart is how much I genuinely enjoy using the desk every single day. Would highly recommend!! Thank you ๐Ÿ™

Bought a standing desk after looking around at options. Solid wood and Linak frame so all around good quality. Assembly was simple with an electric screwdriver. Guy was very helpful and responsive.

Guy (the owner) delivered the desk and set it up quickly. He then gave me a lesson on how to use it and how to get the most out of it. Arrived on time and was absolutely lovely to deal with throughout the whole process. Highly recommend.

I bought an adjustable desk from Guy a couple of years ago, got great service and good price. Recently we had a tiny issue which could not be fixed over the phone. Guy was more than happy to come out and look at it 2 days later. All fixed! I really appreciated his patience with me and accommodating us so quickly. Great old fashioned service and piece of mind. I love it. I know where to get my second desk when needed. Thank you Guy. Jo Manning

Great service and really quick shipping. It is great to know that you are getting quality parts from a Scandinavian manufacturer with your standing desk purchase rather than the cheap knock off stuff you get from other major brands. Reasonably priced for the quality too!
