Mid March 2020. They said the work place will might be closed for few days. Due to a certain well known pandemic called , Covid (it was called Covid-19 post that).

Overnight, we all started working from home. Having to balance 24/7 look after the 8 years old, home schooling and sharing Wi-fi among between a family of 3, all of these was lot overwhelming to take at one shot.

1 year in, I am feeling much comfortable working from home and started forgetting the usual pre-pandemic routine life.

Below are some of the lessons I have learned during last year or so -

1. Plan your next week’s lunch on weekend before and batch cook the foods to have your weekday lunch’s ready (It all about preparation during the weekend).
2. Do your weekday laundry (semi formal dress to wear during Team’s video call) at one shot during weekends.
3. Home office is not optional, it’s becoming mandatory.
4. Don’t login before your usual office time. I used to reach office at 8:20, so during WFH days, I login around 8:15, but not early.
