Spending time with my children. Work from home enabled that (as did liberal leave policies from work because of the pandemic). However, WFH also made my work much less effective and took away a lot of the joy from my job. I normally do about half desk work and half lab work plus lots of interacting with colleagues which has become less effective with WFH. And I have no dedicated office space at home, so WFH office work was also a challenge compared to my dedicated office at work (and my commute was only like 15 minutes and doesn’t have traffic to speak of, so it isn’t stressful). But I will cherish spending more time with my children. It was a special time and a special age for them, too, where being stuck at home was less of a problem than it would’ve been if they were older.
