    I'm glad you're well, Jake. I really liked your quote at the end about this being a pandemic and we aren't just working from home. That really hit home with me too. Cheers

    Making scrambled eggs in a good non-stick frying pan is the best way to go by far. very easy to clean.
    If you want a tip to get them perfect, use a flat-ended wooden spatula or something and just continuously scrape from the outside of the pan into the centre and keep doing that the whole way around the pan until the eggs are cooked to your preference.

  • @redh9567
    @redh9567 Před 4 lety +1

    Finally a quarantine vlog that is something real and 100% relatable. Very practical and informative all the while entertaining. Quality content as always. Kudos on the work that Jake puts into his vlogs.

    love your video's Jake, you're totally right about keeping some structure to the Day. Your cookery video's are classic , keep them coming :)

  • @coreys9584
    @coreys9584 Před 4 lety

    For sure setting and (as much as possible) sticking to a daily routine has helping me, too! I’ve also been using walks outside as dividers between work/personal time. Never really liked baths before, but some nights will use a long hot bath to wind down before sleeping. I find myself using Amazon Alexa more than before...home automation, weather, music, etc.

  • @radhasircar7559
    @radhasircar7559 Před 4 lety +1

    New to the channel and loving it. Please do more cooking videos. Your charming personality and enthusiasm for life make every episode, a must watch!

  • @stephfh
    @stephfh Před 4 lety +27

    Uh, Jake you've got to... uh... *scramble* those eggs in order to get scrambled eggs. 😂
    Being in my 8th WFH week I can feel this. At first it's no difference at all (as I'm also a software engineer who's had WFH days before), but as weeks go on work and private are getting fuzzier. I've moved my usual morning run into the afternoon now as a sort of “break“ between work and private. :D
    You're not the only one using their ikea shelf as a makeshift standing desk, best thing ever to avoid sitting all day. 👌

    The last time I watched your videos, I think you were looking for a job. Glad this is working out for you (even in these times). Not even sure how I found your channel before. But I must say it’s worth it. Refreshing, like seeing a friend. Edit: On that note, stay safe!

    I'm simultaneously glad to see another video from Jake, and jealous of how 'clean' his desk (and room) looks.
    "My work from home setup is not the minimal style that people go for ..."
    Jake (or his colleague with the perfectly made bed) would be a prime candidate to star in the ad Apple is currently running on creativity - where everyone is on webcam and just happens to have an immaculate and photogenic room in the background - no matter how much, or how little there is in the room.

  • @inwils
    @inwils Před 4 lety

    Thanks for a great video - nice to have you back! - I do my daily walk then when I return its work time. Now that I can do two walks a day, I'm going to 'walk home' as well. Also, have two chromes set up -work and non-work. Stay safe everyone!

    I think is a little scary how similar this is to my current situation... being trapped in a bad sleeping schedule and eating at my desk with CZcams videos included. Thanks for sharing, makes me feel less lonely!

  • @penny1662
    @penny1662 Před 4 lety

    Great that you are standing up and finding a way to do so; everyone should try to do this everyday to prevent any back injuries. One tip is to tuck your butt under your body more, you have a bit of a sway when you stand, and try to avoid standing too much on one leg than the other, this can cause unevenness. Great video as always!

  • @MsLivinglegend19

  • @cjay2
    @cjay2 Před 4 lety

    Jake, you were close in making the scrambled eggs - tip: You scramble them in the pan with a fork as they are cooking. Start as soon as you pour the mixture into the hot pan, and continue for a bit, til they are scrambled and done. Add a sprinkle of black pepper and salt mid-way, then eat em.
    Another tip: Get up at 8am, shower, eat brekky, and then review what you did 'at work' the day before, until the vidcon time arrives. When you're done with work, you'll know you awoke at a decent hour, had breakfast, did your work, and you're free for the rest of the day. Love from Italia, Ciao!

    I also work from home, which tbh kind of sucks. I'm relieved that I don't have to worry about loosing my job, but at the same time it seems as if I moved from living at home to living at work.
    It doesn't even feel like my own home anymore, it's just the place where I sleep and wake up to then work some more.

  • @vinvin1715
    @vinvin1715 Před 4 lety +7

    Easy to make scrambled eggs in the frying pan. just keep the spatula moving in the pan through the egg and you will end up with scrambled egg instead of an omelette. Forgot to mention don't cook on a very high heat just medium.

    • @DavideMazzetti
      @DavideMazzetti Před 4 lety

      And don't overcook them. They should be soft and creamy, not tough and bouncy.

    Try one of those alarm clocks with the natural light that wakes you up gradually, like a dawn. Works really well and you feel fresh. You could also try a pomodoro app and a target of x number of pomodoro sessions during the day. Should you not be standing up for your stand-up ?? 🤣
