We have always longed for more time to spend with our loved ones. Due to the current lock down in Pakistan, our wish has been granted in a way, as we are able to enjoy our family’s affection for several weeks, or probably months. With a work-from-home routine, many professionals are having more interaction with their families. So, we must not waste this unique opportunity to engage in healthy activities and inspire our whole household to join in some exciting and memorable moments together. Even the elderly can have great fun with the young children, whose schools have also been shut down. We must improve our health & fitness, while reflecting on our lives with a positive mindset for better wellbeing.

Organisations large and small, in the public and private sectors, have expressed deep concerns about the impact of Covid-19 on their people, productivity and cashflow, according to ACCA’s new global research among 10,000 finance professionals, including an expert panel of 353 in Pakistan.

With the current situation, more than half of the world’s population is under lockdown, giving rise to unprecedented work-from-home scenarios. Now, working from home may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Some say it makes them lazy, while others feel too cosy at home. Is your home network going to be stable enough or can you stay safe from straying away to the first distraction you see?
