Yes, we’re home pretty much most of the time now – but work from home has shown us that cutting back on commuting doesn’t contribute as much time as we wished it would. Still, we struggle to finish all our work on time, do house chores and support the kids’ home-based learning needs, leaving barely any time in the evening or even the weekends to kick back and relax.
