When people were told to stay at home, a lot of them complained, but now that Ukraine eased up the restrictions, many Ukrainian women realized that they loved the quarantine lifestyle, KP.ua reported.
“The happiest two months of my life!”
“In the space of my regular working day I was able to do all the work, as well as make lunch, clean up my home, and spend time with my child,” one woman from Ukraine reported.
It usually takes about an hour for people in large cities to reach the office and the same time to get back home, plus extra half an hour to take the child to day care. If there is no need to leave the house, there is more time to do the tasks.
In an office, a lot of time is spend on meetings or chatting to colleagues. Lunch break in the office lasts 30-60 minutes and it’s totally possible to both make the lunch for the whole family and eat in this time. This is why she loved working remotely.
“Most of all, for the first time in all these years I am now getting enough sleep,” the same lady said. “Possibly, some people are missing their offices and colleagues, but I will remember this quarantine as the happiest two months of my life!”
Another Ukrainian woman said she was working half of the time during the quarantine, getting 50% of the pay, while going to the office every second week. She found it extremely relaxing and feels she isn’t ready to go to work full time, thinking of trying to discuss the same working regime for the next three months.
The best of quarantine lifestyle
The break that people got without asking is similar with a vacation, but instead of 21 days off people had to stay at home for 2 months. It changed their usual rhythms and as we know, psychologists believe that 21 days is enough to form new habits. 2 months of quarantine that Ukrainians got was definitely enough to form new habits and learn to enjoy a more relaxing and quiet lifestyle.
Only 41% of Ukrainians found that quarantine brought significant changes in their lives, a recent online poll discovered. 2 out of 5 people didn’t feel see much difference and 32% of locals reported only minor changes. According to the same poll, 25% of Ukrainians stated their lifestyle had no alterations or “nearly none”.
