Many of my friends are going back to their offices this week. Shiny, sparkly, disinfected offices. During this lockdown, the conversations about family responsibilities, working from home while homeschooling, and women ‘carrying the mental load’ have been an overwhelming reminder that sometimes, we are our own worst enemies when it comes to being ‘busy’. The office return is a big step in the post-covid return to ‘normality’. And it’s an opportunity. Let’s not fall back into the same routines, of trying to make everything perfect and getting it all done in one day. Nothing is perfect and never will be. Move something off the list, and add self care as an important thing to do every single day. And call on your support network, friends ready to help if it all becomes too much. - Jacqui, queen of the accidental essay. 😊🏡❤️
