Productivity is the goal in any realm of business. It means getting things done as efficiently as possible but getting them done by hook or by crook. One thing that blocks that is travel. It is time-consuming and can be stressful. You’ve got road works, diversions and other drivers to contend with, and the good mood you get into the car with can be a tetchy, negative one by the time you get out at the other end. That can have an adverse effect on our good intentions.
Even within a single city, if we have to be out of the office, productivity takes a nosedive. But there is a way to keep the wheels turning while we’re on our way somewhere, and it comes in the simple but often overlooked form of chauffeur services in London.
This has become even more of a boon in recent years thanks to the development of laptops and tablets, smartphones and, crucially, mobile internet. Within the comfortable confines of a chauffeur-driven vehicle, you can stay in touch with what’s happening back at the ranch. Not only can you know what others are doing in your absence, but you can respond to it, making calls, sending emails, writing letters and working on projects through shared files.
In a big city, with underground travel it is tempting to think everything is just a few miles away, while in reality it isn’t. If we take a hypothetical journey from Ealing Broadway in the west to Barking in the east, approximately 25 miles, it could be around 70 minutes by Tube. That’s well over an hour of wasted time, and while it is theoretically possible to do some work on the way, it’s a public space, so there is no privacy, no feeling of comfort; you can’t stretch out and feel organised about what you’re doing. And that’s not to mention the communication breaks involved in being under the ground.
By car this journey could be less than 40 minutes. By chauffeur-driven car that might be ample time to prepare for a meeting, to check facts and figures, think of a better way of handling a potentially difficult situation or come up with ideas to liven up the proceedings. And it is 40 minutes without the stress of worrying about the actual driving. As much as anyone may enjoy being behind the wheel in their leisure time, it takes up pretty much all our attention, and there is always something unscheduled happening which can interrupt our train of thought.
Chauffeur services in London also come with a certain amount of prestige, and while you may not be overly concerned about your image, it doesn’t hurt to be regarded as professional and successful enough to delegate the noble art of driving to a professional in another field.
Stress-free is the way to go. Nowadays we are constantly bombarded with advice about looking after ourselves, slowing down and not taking on too much. Doing a city journey in a nice car with someone else driving is a great way to do a bit of self-care. Why not build that into your lifestyle and let chauffeur services in London create stress-free London travel?
