πŸ“¦ Self-Quarantine Care Package πŸ“¦

🚨 here's how to get off your butt and work or discover a new interest 🚨

The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now.

How to stay productive while working from home 🏠

  1. Build a morning routine πŸ”¨
  • Take a shower 🚿, try a good bowl of oatmeal & listen to some music 🎢
  1. Create your workspace (away from your bed)
  • Clear the clutter: both on the table and your virtual desktop.
  1. Afternoon Slump β˜€οΈ
  • The hardest to recover from. Convert that idle time to something productive. Organize your closet instead & make some tea 🍡 !

There are excellent free courses online if you want to build your skills (in computing or otherwise)

While it won't always be rainbows and sunsets, I think John Green puts it best in his Youtube video. Here's a summary of what he says:

  1. Social distancing doesn't mean emotional distancing. Use technology to cope.
  2. Keep clear routines for 7 days a week but don't go overboard. (be patient)
  3. Exercise & physical activity daily if possible.
  4. Learning & intellectual engagement: books, reading & limited internet
  5. Positive family time working to counter negativity.
  6. Alone time, outside if possible.
  7. Focused meditation & relaxation
  8. Bathe daily
  9. Remember the things you usually did but took for granted.
  10. Limit TV & internet news exposure. Choose small windows to cleanse yourself of it.
