Whether you are going to work or working from home, the Covid-19 pandemic has probably changed the way you work. Fear and anxiety about this new disease and other strong emotions can be overwhelming. To add to that, workplace stress and anxiety can lead to burnout.

Apart from readjusting to work post the pandemic, travel time, juggling with tasks in our personal lives as well as completing professional tasks, could get overwhelming.
