Working from Home: A Revelation

The outbreak of coronavirus has impacted millions of lives throughout the world. A lot of people and their lifestyles have experienced many changes, both big and small.

Given that my new workplace is only a room away, I reach the office on time.My consumption of tea/coffee has reduced considerably.I have become better at multi-tasking.I get to choose what to suggest (and, sometimes, cook) for dinner.We have an early lunch and an early dinner. Sometimes, we skip the dinner in favor of a relatively lighter meal.I have begun experimenting with other hobbies, like writing, cooking, sketching. I even sit with my kid to draw and paint—her favorite hobby for this month.We devote some more time to our families; We speak to our parents and relatives more often. We invest extra time with them to ensure that they are safe and sound.
