You’re no longer making a forceful effort to peel yourself away from your computer to eat lunch; now that you’re working at home, you’ve lost all the delightful opportunities for distraction that the office granted you.
If the pandemic has required you to adjust to a work-from-home schedule, it’s probable that your work-life balance has indeed become more elusive. According to a recent study of 3.1 million people in 16 cities around the world, conducted by Harvard Business School and New York University, the average person is laboring away an additional 48.5 minutes each day.
Obviously, these statistics won’t resonate with everyone: Unemployment levels are approaching what they were during the Great Depression, and many workers have not been afforded the privilege to work from home as the coronavirus continues to ravage parts of the country.
