Finding Balance in the Pandemic

Before the pandemic working from home was a luxury and was not as common place. Employers were often hesitant to have their employees work from home for any extended time since they were concerned with productivity being lost.  But recent evidence suggests the opposite is true — working from home effectively means working more. In the UK, many employees are reportedly putting in an extra two hours a day. It’s even longer in the U.S.

Our survey also indicates that feeling fortunate to still be in work, the collapse of work-life boundaries, and the fear of being under surveillance from employers, have all led to people working harder for longer.

Those juggling work and caring responsibilities are often struggling the most. A recent U.K. poll showed 71% of working mothers who requested furlough to look after their children were refused.

There was a 9 month period where all 3 of our kids were home since we elected for the kids to be virtual and lets just say I felt that I needed to work extra since there were times that I had to take more breaks than unusual since my kids were home and they wanted lunch or a snack or wanted to talk etc.

I don’t know about you but sometimes it takes a while to get momentum and the starting and stopping of having to take breaks or hearing screaming in the other room often meant that I had to work well into the night to get some traction

I find little ways to make time for myself and it starts in the morning.  Every other day (or maybe two days I put on makeup and do my hair).

You curly hair girls may understand the morning struggle is REAL. Should I bother? I can just put on a filter and do my Zoom call right?

I decided to go for it but be smart with my time and since it has been a moment since I washed my hair I used AS I Am Leave-in Conditioner then I de-tangle my hair with a de tangling brush. I styled my hair using the LOC method with this spray bottle and styling with ECO Styler

Don’t forget those edges and edgebooster is LIFE!

I put on my NARS lip liner  that is a perfect prep for my Kat Von D everlasting lipstick and I am ready for my 1:1 with my boss.
