2020 is coming to an end, and we decided to look back at the year in gratitude. There surely are some great things that the year taught us. But as they say, it\u2019s the little things that matter.<\/p>\n
So, here are some little but important realities we learned this year.<\/p>\n
Read and relate, folks!<\/><\/p>\n
Remember the time when we worked from the office? Waking up early, getting dressed, reaching the office, and working for 9 hours straight. Seems like a dream now. ?<\/p>\n
Anyway, now that we\u2019re all working from home, haven\u2019t we discovered our multi-tasker selves? Sometimes I find myself making an omelet, or doing the dishes, or organizing my wardrobe during work hours. Do you too?<\/p>\n
There. We\u2019ve said it! It\u2019s an undeniable fact that all of us saw our friends and family trying their hand at cooking. Don\u2019t tell us you never made or tried making Dalgona coffee or baking a cake during the lockdown. The bottom line is, we can do just about anything if we really want to.<\/p>\n
Haven\u2019t we all learned this lesson? It was a nightmare of a time when shopping malls were closed, and online shopping businesses did not deliver. But we slowly and surely coped with reality, didn\u2019t we? Many of our favorite shopping hubs are still shut, but we\u2019re doing absolutely fine without them. Yes, we are. Don\u2019t try to tell yourself otherwise. ?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not apparent, but we definitely have been acting on this proverb. Do you realize you\u2019ve been sharing the new work(from home)-space with your siblings? We\u2019ve built a mini co-working\/learning space at home, haven\u2019t we? <\/p>\n
Some of us also share our Netflix passwords with our friends these days\u2026 and I think that\u2019s really great! We can\u2019t go to the movies but we can still watch them together.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t go to the office\u201d, they instructed. \u201cThat\u2019s okay, we\u2019ll work from home\u201d, we replied. They said maintain social distancing, so we video-called each other. They said going out for lunch is dangerous, so we ordered in. They said don\u2019t go to the gym, so we worked out at home.<\/p>\n
They said, don\u2019t this\u2026 don\u2019t that…<\/p>\n
So many don\u2019ts and challenges. Like the resilient people we are, we have coped with all of them. Pat yourself on the back, everyone! ?<\/p>\n
Now, this one\u2019s a little serious. We\u2019re all lazy when it comes to washing our hands and face. Who wants to make this futile effort, right? But thank you, 2020! You showed us how much the little things matter. It\u2019s indisputable that small steps towards hygiene can save us from great troubles. <\/p>\n
