Research exploring parental burnout has come into sharper focus during the COVID-19 pandemic as parents struggle with remote work in combination with virtual school learning for their kids, all while trying to keep everyone healthy. Dr. Barry Schwartz, a psychology professor at UC Berkeley has found that people who look for good enough (a group of people he calls "satisficers") are often more content with their choices compared to those who always aim for the best. His recommendation during the pandemic is to look for options that will produce good enough outcomes under the widest set of future states of the world. For parents, he recommends asking this question: "What can I do to make my child's life satisfying enough no matter what the future holds?"
