I'm a few days away from vacation and I started to think that this year is being a strange time, unlike other times of the year. Nothing can fail and I want to keep everything organized because rest is essential, but I have felt that this “holiday” theme has been a great challenge in the uncertain times in which we live today, a fact that I have never felt before.

Digital meetings are multiplying, digital platforms are already chosen and the adherence to this new way of “working together” proved to be impressive. But what impresses me the most is that Portuguese changed their behavior and, in a country where arriving late is the norm, they became the masters of punctuality.
