World has witnessed the impact of Covid-19 on all facets of life, in all countries and in all industries. No one is certain about how much and how long the impact of the pandemic will last on people’s personal and professional lives globally and as a consequence we are forced be spend most of our time within the confines of our homes. We have cribbed about work-life balance all our lives, and now we have all the time in the world to spend with our families and children. But do we really? Time has always been a precious commodity, but now each day seems endless. The confusion and dichotomy of our roles hits us hard. We procrastinate and wrestle all day as we multi-task between housework and office work. The disruptions and distractions of household works, even while we tend to our children and the elderly takes its toll, but yet affords us no excuse for being late for meetings, deadlines, or conversely, not being available to prepare and share a mid-day meal with the family. It has indeed become a Herculean task to manage the precarious balance between work and personal responsibilities of life without domestic helpers and teachers, and the heaviness of this endless confinement at home.
