The pandemic has changed the way we live, work and study permanently. While working from home was initially difficult, it allowed for a better work-life balance as people could spend more time with family. Remote work also helped employers understand its benefits. Studying now involves virtual classes from home in pajamas, and group work takes place over video calls instead of in-person meetings, saving time spent commuting. Going forward, we should embrace the advantages of remote work and study introduced by the pandemic to improve our work-life balance.

The way we live, work and study will never be the same
after the pandemic
Over the past few years, only one way of working and studying seemed possible. Unavoidable steps of a day were getting up, having unhealthy amounts of coffee, rushing to your work or study place, and coming back home exhausted. Many felt that longing for the weekend to finally get some time for yourself was not a fair way of living.
Eventually, since 2020, the pandemic brought, with all the
drawbacks that it carried, some benefits that changed our lives.
At first, with only considered essential workers allowed to go
out, a great number of people could no longer make use of their workplaces. Countless had to learn how to work from home and initially panicked. Nonetheless, before long, actual advantages arose from that. People could, for example, strike a balance between family time and working hours successfully for the first time in a long while. The so-called “home office” phenomenon also made employers everywhere begin to understand that a better work-life balance helps making remote labour really work.
Additionally, changes were significant in our manner of
studying. Attending classes now means sitting in front of any screen in pajamas and doing group assignments has evolved into arranging virtual zoom meetings. And even though we are not able to gather in a house and we might miss face-to-face encounters, we do not either have to wait for the bus or waste time travelling.
Personally, I consider we should take every advantage brought by this exceptional situation and try to make the best out of it. Because for better or worse, pandemic has already changed our lives, and the world as we knew it will not ever be the same.
