Lockdown 3.0 | How to master work-life balance from home

The term ‘lockdown’ became a mainstay of the public lexicon when, in early 2020, the UK Government confirmed that the entire nation would be required to follow strict rules on contact outside of their households, work remotely wherever possible and stay away from all non-essential shopping locations.

And over the ensuing 12 months, usage of the term only increased as areas of the country were raised out of strict rules and plunged back into them when the second wave of the virus hit far later in the year.

It was a struggle even for the most iron-willed within the population, yet when in early 2021, Boris Johnson confirmed that spiralling cases and deaths warranted yet another national lockdown, the fatigue from navigating the previous year coupled with the already inhospitable and solitary winter months have taken their toll.

A key concern for many is that, after almost a year of remote working, and with schools closed and strict rules now in place, the balance between working life and home life is almost non-existent.
