Now that lockdown and restrictions are over (at least for now), what, if anything would you like to retain/keep from the last 2 years?. I know there is a lot we hope we will never see or have to do again, but was it all bad?
For me,
So what else have people liked, benefited from, over the last 2 years?
For me,
- hybrid working/working from home is brilliant, it reduces my commute costs, I'm more productive as the time I spent commuting is time I can spend working. It's also more beneficial in terms of the environment and traffic. I know it's not for everyone but it suits my particular job, and I love it
- It's been a great excuse not to connect with people I don't really want to connect with (I'm isolating !) so I don't have to go to weddings and other things out of a sense of duty. It's allowed me to focus on those who are really important to me
- Because I've spent more time at home, I've read more, listened to things I would not have listened to and watched things I would never have watched before.
- I think we've discovered from a holiday perspective that we don't always need to be jumping on a plane to go places, Ireland is actually pretty good (if expensive) for a holiday.
- Personally, I've found the communications from the schools is so much better since they discovered Teams etc. Maybe we've been lucky with our schools in that respect but it's been good for us.
