33 Ways to Improve Your Life From Home

Thanks for SHARING!

Working from home during the coronavirus

 

Dear friends,

Over the weekend, I learned that a guest at an event I had attended tested positive for coronavirus. In an abundance of caution, as they say, we were asked to self-quarantine through this Saturday. So I am homebound, content to be hunkered down with family and pets.

As we ride out this pandemic, we’ll no doubt discover both the challenges and unexpected blessings of spending a lot of time at home. Knowing you, I’m certain you’ll be caring for your neighbors and loved ones and making the best of a slower pace.

Perhaps you’re enjoying leisure activities, too – watching movies, catching up with friends, reading, walking, playing games, maybe even taking a nap.

For most of us, financial uncertainty is also a part of this extraordinary time. I’ve been researching how we can continue to take positive actions and work on personal development so that when the dust settles, we’re stronger than ever.

Here are some ideas:

33 Ways to Keep Moving Forward During a Quarantine

2. Update your LinkedIn profile, and make new connections.

3. Earn a little extra money

4. Watch a TED talk.

  1. I liked your ideas. What I’m doing is deep cleaning my house. I shampooed my living room carpet yesterday and the zebra runner rug, too. They were well overdue! I’m also double crocheting blankets.
