Year in Review pt. I

“Can everyone see my screen?” — Most of us in 2020

2020 was the clearly year of different.

The pandemic upturned life as we knew it. We were forced to adapt on the go. To be fair, you and I are a lot tougher than we give ourselves credit for. Our homes became office spaces and we all turned into DIY IT gurus. (ps. shout out to the IT girls and guys, you’re basically in the essential workers squad now).

In just nine months, everything that could went remote. Social distancing required us to come up with creative ways to stay sane and have fun in spite of being home almost 99% of the year. As of right now, a bulk of us are still living under some form government-imposed restrictions due to Covid19 batch c streams 2 and 3 passing out of camp. *

Collating all the disruptions to our personal lives, work and business (which we somewhat survived), it is important to take time out to review and reflect on how 2020 went. Between the wins and losses, there are a few things we learnt which will be quite useful in navigating 2021.

Next post will look at some of the Ls and Ws in 2020.
