The mood is getting a little less intense, the jump-scares are becoming less frequent and more characters are emerging from the shadows.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As restrictions lift, we're starting to realise we've become very used to a different way of life and, in particular, a different way of doing our jobs. While some would argue that creatives truly thrive when confronted by limitations &#8211;<\/span><a title=\"GoodReads - David Ogilvy Quote\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/quotes\/25181.David_Ogilvy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Ogilvy is often quoted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as saying \u2018give me the freedom of a tight brief' &#8211; many marketing professionals have found it an incredibly restrictive time and have adapted accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we charge headlong into the sequel, let's take a moment to examine some of the behaviours, attitudes, skills and habits we've (often unintentionally) adopted over the last 18 months or so. It'll give us the chance to make a call on the things we should pack for the road ahead, and the things we should probably leave in the dust.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Pack it: Creativity<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In marketing (and especially in agencies) we often labour under the illusion that creativity is owned by \u201ccreatives\u201d, we've even got a department with that name on it. I think it's really limiting to define creativity in a marketing sense as just words &amp; and pictures arranged in media space.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lockdown allowed us the space to look for creativity in new ways. Some of us were forced to think creatively about our jobs, about our roles, about our businesses. On a personal level, you might have learned to do something new or learned that you weren't as into something as you previously thought.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either way, the pandemic brought a whole bunch of unforeseen problems. And creativity is, essentially, problem-solving. If you've come out the other side of all this with a new approach, way of thinking, work skill or even hobby \u2013 you've been creative. I'm hoping that this broader definition of creativity sticks. That we've loosened the reins a little on who is allowed to think creatively.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If creativity is a new habit that you've picked up, I reckon you should pack it and take it with you on the next leg of your journey.<\/span><b>&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Leave it: Preconceptions<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I used to think Jacquie Lambie was something of a political joke, but watching her<\/span><a title=\"SBS Article - How Go Back Live has changed Jacqui Lambie, Spida Everitt and Steve\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sbs.com.au\/topics\/voices\/culture\/article\/2018\/10\/04\/how-go-back-live-has-changed-jacqui-lambie-spida-everitt-and-steve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">change her mind in public<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has persuaded me to do the same. I'm still opposed to a lot of the things she has shown support for, but she's one of the very few people in Australian politics who has shown a willingness to change their minds when presented with new information.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering we're living in an age of accelerated change, where we need to be able to come to terms with a constant stream of new information, that's a skill worth cultivating. And the key is to slow down a little.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u2018hot take' is not as useful as the considered response. One of my favourite reads is called<\/span><a title=\"Slow Journalism Homepage\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slow-journalism.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Delayed Gratification',<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which practices the art of Slow Journalism. They take three months to analyse the news from the preceding three months. They also do infographics better than almost anyone on the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, your preconceptions, your long-held beliefs, your prejudices, your \u2018die in a ditch positions'? Chuck \u2018em. You'll travel lighter.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Pack it: Planning<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For all the talk of \u2018freedom day' we've discovered that life after lockdown is not quite that spontaneous. Booking a table instead of just turning up to the restaurant. Leaving a deposit instead of a handshake. Checking all your calendars before agreeing to catch up.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those of us who've <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">embraced<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> remote work, rather than just suffering through it, we've discovered that planning is the secret sauce that makes it possible to genuinely collaborate, get across timezones and work around different life commitments. We also discovered a lot of \u2018this zoom could have been an email' moments.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The big learning for the future of work is that this stuff \u2018doesn't just happen'.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the macro level, you need policies and culture, technology and communication. On the micro-level: agendas, meeting moderation, pre-reading, handovers and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like a tight brief can inspire creativity, a bit of planning and discipline is the key to productivity \u2013 which is a fancy word for \u2018getting stuff done'.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It'll be tempting to get back in the office, face to face, and revel in the social contact, the banter, the informal connections we've missed. But when you marry the discipline of remote with the energy of live, that's when<\/span><a title=\"Harvard Business Review - 12 Questions About Hybrid Work, Answered\" href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2021\/09\/12-questions-about-hybrid-work-answered\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hybrid work<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will really start to hum.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So pack your planning skills. Your colleagues and clients will thank you for it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Leave it: Disconnection<\/b><b>&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pandemic forced all of us to be a little more hermit. We got into the habit of being disconnected from people, from relationships and from interaction. But on a deeper level, we also became disconnected from consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We laugh at people<\/span><a title=\"BBC Article - Coronavirus panic: Why are people stockpiling toilet paper?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-australia-51731422\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">panic buying toilet paper<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> until we realise there's no toilet paper so we start stockpiling toilet paper. We hunt for bargains online and complain about all the vacant shopfronts in our neighbourhood. Like the bumper sticker says: you're not sitting in traffic, you are traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is symptomatic of the bigger picture: Health. Climate. Housing. The Economy. Supply Chains. The sooner we realise that our actions connect us to each other the sooner we'll stop acting like complete dicks \u2013 even if we don't mean to.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you've got into the habit of using lockdown as a cover for staying disconnected, let's try to leave that one at the gate. Ultimately, we're all on the same journey.<\/span><b>&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Pack it: Inclusion<\/b><b>&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We talk about<\/span><a title=\"HealthLine Article - Zoom Fatigue\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/zoom-fatigue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoom fatigue<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the desire to get back to Face 2 Face, but the forced pivot to online collaboration has also allowed more people to have a seat at the table.

It's worth reflecting on how you're working now and what it means for your role and your career.
