Working too hard? Busy life?

Wondering how people feel about working hours and their pace of life since the lockdown?

I think it’s changed my view quite a lot, I feel I’m working so hard constantly that I become a headless chicken. Due to the lockdown and everything stopping, I’m debating about if I want to go back to that type of life so quickly...or slow things down a little, as it’s been lovely doing things around the house, playing with the kids, reading again for the first time in years and actually having time to exercise too! Plus I’m actually getting to see my husband as well, whereas normally it’s a tag team around here as he works shifts and we don’t normally see each other much.

Now I’ve written it down it all sounds so crazy, yet I can’t pinpoint where this ‘constantly busy’ period started?

Do you think you will go back to the same way of life? Or has this changed things for you? Interested to hear your thoughts.

Things have definitely changed for me.
I was doing a degree that I have had to put on hold as my son is shielded and I am actually thinking that I don't want to carry on with it in September.
We are also going to home educate our children full time as they are thriving at home. It's so nice to not have to do school drop off and after school clubs etc.
