The new legislation that’s just come out in Ontario, giving workers the right to disconnect from the workplace on evenings and weekends is very interesting. It remains to be seen whether it will have any real impact on the lives of Ontario workers.
Having said that, the legislation sheds light on the important issue of work-life balance. It is essential that we have time for other things besides work. The new work-from-home trend since Covid, has made it easier to blur the line between work-time and personal time, so we need to be that much more vigilant these days.
The more we work, the more we feel we should work, and it can become somewhat addictive. We need to consciously disconnect from our work and put our attention on the other things that give our lives meaning, such as our relationships and our pastimes.
