It’s hard to think of many positive aspects for a global pandemic, but if I had to find any, the renewed importance of the “life” part of work/life balance would be one. Work is important - a source of fulfillment and independence - but it’s something we should do to live, and not what we live to do. After the Covid-era boom, remote work and events are not going anywhere!
That’s an important part of achieving work/life balance. If you work 9 to 5, but spend two hours on your way to work and back every day, that balance is already gone.

However, there are pitfalls to avoid at all costs. As things stand, women still shoulder most of the responsibilities when it comes to housekeeping and childcare. We’re moving towards more equal footing, but progress is slow; there is a very real risk that remote work and events may become an excuse to expect women to keep shouldering the lion’s share of household duties. If we’re to achieve true equality both at work and at home, male partners need to step up and do their share.

This offers a valuable way to grow and maintain a quality professional network from home, even when time for in-person socializing is limited.
