Is this the end of the weekend as we know it?

As working from home became even more embedded in 2020, we need to find ways to switch off 

Throughout 2020, as working from home became the norm, we increasingly found ourselves checking in with work in the evenings and at the weekend. If your work-like balance is off kilter, now is the time to sort it out.

Working from home has had many benefits. No commute is good for the soul and the environment, flexible hours have made school drop offs and pick ups — when we have them — less fraught and there’s time to schedule those jobs around the house that need doing. But it’s not the panacea that we thought it would be.

Backs are sore from cobbled together kitchen desks, meetings are interrupted by children and pets, and more and more we find ourselves checking in with work in the evenings and at the weekend.
