Coordinating Schedules with Remote Work Spouses

Christina Granahan, an enneagram-informed coach, notes that remote work can lead to disruptions in routine and resentment when family members assume the at-home worker has more time or flexibility to handle household tasks. To mitigate this, she recommends over-communicating with one's partner about needs and scheduling appointments outside of work hours. A couple has implemented a rule to schedule non-work-related activities during their partner's typical work hours, resulting in fewer conflicts and a better understanding of each other's needs.

France Tops EU Depression Rates at 11% Pre-Pandemic

A new analysis of a 2019 health survey across Europe has found that France had the highest pre-pandemic depression rate among European countries at around 11 per cent. The study, conducted by the statistical arm of France's health and social ministries (DREES), used data from over 300,000 people across the European Union, Norway, Iceland, and Serbia. The analysis found that older individuals in southern and eastern European countries, such as Portugal, Romania, and Croatia, had higher depression rates, with over 15 per cent of those aged 70 and older experiencing depression. Older women were also more likely to be depressed than older men, and poor health was a significant factor contributing to depression among this age group. In contrast, younger Europeans in northern and western European countries, such as Denmark, Sweden, and Finland, had higher rates of depression.
