In Italy (almost) everything shut down on Monday March 9th, and everyone is firmly invited to stay home and not get out unless they have a good reason that can proven (work, health, emergencies).
My thinking is this will happen in many other places in the near future (I truly hope I'm proven wrong, but ...).
So I'd like to share here (and invite you to share your experiences) how we are all coping with this new, unexpected, untested, strange situation, both personally and for your business.
I'll begin with what changed in my business in just 4 days since the beginning of the "stay home" decree, and in a later post I'll share what's changed in the daily life here.
I'm a software developer and trainer (both online and on site), and my customers are mostly small businesses. What happened to me is that:
- All courses were postponed / cancelled: both online and on site. I wasn't expecting the online courses to be postponed or cancelled.
- A conference for which I prepared a lot was cancelled;
- Most offices closed, and applied some form of smart working
- My phone stopped ringing, almost completely, with the exception of ...
- ... one of my customers, who are in education, that started planning how to transition some of their services from class to online.
This happened after just 4 days since the beginning of the quarantine.
So who's next?
