How has the pandemic affected your daily routine?

Working from home the last six months has been very tiring for me. Since our office works 24/7 with people going to office in shifts for those of us who work from home its become a bit tiring. I get calls sometimes when its past midnight and am woken up at the early hours of the morning. Of course there are days when there is no work at all but then I utilize those days for finishing the household chores that are piled up. So no more looking forward to weekends. Am waiting for things to get normal so that I can start going to office regularly and relax in the evenings and on weekends

Those who have retired are happy they are getting more time to spend with their families. But for those of us who live alone, it has become very troublesome being locked up in the house all alone for so many months.

I was never fond of going out and eating at restaurants so that has not affected me. Miss going to the office every day though.

So true because of pandemic you may tend to overlook weekends already. But for me, so far I am enjoying each day with my daughter and my plants. I can work in the evening anyways

I have more office work on weekends nowadays than on weekdays. So now I have started relaxing on Tuesday and Wednesdays when the work is comparatively lesser.

The only thing that has changed in our home is my son doing online classes. My daily work hasn't changed at all. But my hobbies did. I have become more obsessed with ornamental plants.

Everywhere studies are online now. How is your son coping up with the online classes? Is he enjoying it? I too have restarted my old hobby of doing crochet.

When going to the office we had fixed working hours and once we left the office for the day we could forget about work till the next morning. That is not the case anymore now.
