Is there anything else you would like to tell us?
– I feel closer then ever to have achieved the balance between work and life I always wanted. The absence of physical meetings makes things harder sometimes but in my case it comes with a great sense of freedom than also translates in more productivity and better life balance. I have never been so productive working from my bed! I look forward for more physical interactions soon but I truly hope some things we’ve now implemented and work will stay forever.
