Melle & Jeroen 3 – How do I stay motivated as an intern?

It feels like there is some contradiction because I work from home on an intern project. You just must trust me doing my work. And really, I don’t want to betray this trust.

Normally when you go to work the time there is considered working time. But I’m also at home when I’m not working. I realize that I tend to only count the time that I’m productive. I try to remind myself that taking a break and drinking tea can also be part of work. One day you probably are more productive than another. 

It helps that you have given me various tasks and the freedom to complete them myself. If one thing doesn’t work today, I can pick up another. 

Now that everyone is online, it’s easy to get someone to meet up with you. Being alone with many, makes it a little together again and that motivates.

Maybe my internship in lockdown is more like working life than I initially thought. I wonder what has actually changed in your work as a result of working from home.
