The mother of three sons Zlata Dorofeeva will share with us her impressions of returning to work after a long-term decree. According to Zlata, for 7 years of the decree, she has lost the habit of sitting in one place.

“I was spinning on a chair, striking bizarre poses, walking, jumping, and waving my arms.” “I’m glad I have a separate office; otherwise, my employees would think I was crazy,” Zlata laughs. ” Another discovery for me was the ability to read uninterrupted. After all, I spend the majority of my time at home reading fairy tales and nursery rhymes. And I simply didn’t have the energy or time to devote to my books.” “It turns out that I had a mental breakdown.”

After all, at home, I mostly made shopping lists and planned the week’s menu.” “I was surprised to notice that I easily switch from one question to another during the workday.” Then I return to the first one, remembering all of its nuances. I can even talk on the phone while drafting the text of my conference speech.” And, according to Zlata, the decree taught her to clearly identify the main tasks, avoid distractions, and always be “in good shape.”
