In the video series, WFH Diaries, he mentions how planning the calendar has formed an important part of his daily routine along with taking little breaks from home for himself.

Talking about the changing work patterns, Swamy shares, “Yes we have slightly changed the way we work. Creative teams are supposed to brainstorm together, get into hurdles, and come up with great solutions for clients. All that is happening but virtually”.  

He also believes that managing all of this, one has to be mentally and physically fit. “We as a family are working out together and do a little bit of dancing. The most important part of my daily routine is spending some time with myself and do a little bit of meditation for 15-20 minutes,” he mentions. That helps him to clear his thoughts and plan the day a little better.

"Planning my calendar has also become the most important part of my weekly regime apart from connecting with my colleagues and clients," he dwells further.

"Whether it is tea time having snacks or lunches with my wife, it is kind of helping me deliver better throughout the day because in this current scenario you are spending 14-15 hours a day daily working".
