Looking Back at 2020: The Year We Worked in Our Pyjamas
In a pre covid world, a typical day in our life consisted of waking up in the morning, grabbing breakfast, getting ready for the office, get groceries in the evening, or hang out with your friends over dinner, and get back home. Getting ready was a challenging part of our daily lives. Choose clothes, shoes, matching accessories - this alone took almost an hour every day! However, in the new normal era, we are working from home in our comfortable home clothes while Looking Back at 2020: The Year We Worked in Our Pyjamas
But in the last 8 months, our life changed drastically. We no longer get up in the morning to rush to the office. We don't have to lose our sleep over what to wear the next day. Work from home took over our lives.
Initially, almost everyone had a hard time adjusting to the concept. After all, we love the outside world a little too much to spend all our time indoors.
3 months into the lockdown we got accustomed to tapping away on the laptop in our pyjamas on our bed. It sounds like a dream, right? Getting to reply to emails, attending work calls in your home attire. Throughout this lockdown period, we remained loyal to our pyjamas.
