A THREAD

Use the work-from-home policy as an opportunity to refocus your attention. Do one productive thing per day can lead to a more positive attitude. Set your sights on long-avoided tasks, reorganize, or create something new

Freeing up your day from work gives you plenty time to obsess, and if you have a tendency to consult Google for every itch and sneeze, you may be over-researching the pandemic as well. Use only certain credible websites

With all the uncertainty happening outside your home, keep the inside organized &clean. Set up mental zones for daily activities to organize your day.

For exam-ple, try not to eat in bed or work on the sofa- just as before, eat at the kitchen table and work at your desk

With this newfound time, why not do something new.

-You can start a daily journal to jot down thoughts and feelings to reflect on later.

-Or take a walk every day at 4pm, connect with your sister over FaceTime every morning, or start a watercolor painting.
