Heading back to the daily grind? Here are some tips to transition with ease, and keep some of the best aspects of work-from-home life
A study done this spring revealed that just 20 per cent of Canadians are eager to ditch the work-from-home life and go back to in-office business full-time.In addition to possibly hearing “You’re on mute!” much less in the near future, there are plenty of other things to look forward to as a good number of us head back to our desks – both in the office and at school – in the coming weeks.

If you’re craving the socialization that was lost due to the pandemic, Salter says having close friends on speed dial for a catch-up is a good way to unwind between work and home life. Alternatively, if you want to use your commute to build up your mindfulness, using a meditation app while in transit or “driving mindfully,” as Salter describes it, will help fortify you. “It’s about putting all your attention on the road,” she says.
