Due to the pandemic, more people are working from home than ever before. According to Stanford.edu, from June 2020, about 42% of the US workforce is now working from home. With many schools being completely virtual now, being able to work from home is a privilege for some while may be difficult on mental health and relationships for others.
Many people are suffering from "Zoom Fatigue" due to the constant virtual meetings for not only themselves but their children as well. In order to cope with this, it is important to stay organized and to find a life balance. An article from USA Today from May 2020 says that "having an outline of your responsibilities will guide your actions through the day and leave you with a sense of accomplishment when you are ready to 'clock out.'"
When being cooped up in one place for a long period of time, it is important to have mindfulness too. Be aware of not just your feelings, but check in with your other housemates to make sure everyone is doing ok.
