After a day of doing nothing, I decided an aimless day was not going to work for me during quarantine. I do much better with structure.
I work 8am-noon M-F AU time (1-5pm CA time) and work any other client/business after noon but that leaves many hours in the day. Without being able to leave the room, I need to be creative and structured in how I approach the day.
Chunk time
– hour long activities
- blog (here I am right now 🙂 )
- stop motion education and practice
- yoga
- kindle book
- audio book
- gratitude project
Break time
– 5 minute activities
- exercise band
- color with pencils
- read an AU book
- puzzle game
- meditation
- 30-day ab challenge
- stretch
- braid hair in new configuration
I start the day with an hour of yoga. Not much space in the room but it’s the only real exercise I can do here. The bed is too soft so the yoga helps my body feel normal.
I attended a cool workshop at Adobe Max last October on stop motion animation and decided that I would embrace this creative endeavor while in quarantine.
At the top of the hour, I choose a 5-minute activity, then move on to an hour long activity. This moves me through the day with interesting things to keep me sane.
BF asked me if I wanted to do a 30-day abs challenge. Sure, why not? What else have I to do? I found one on Pinterest that will work nicely.
The featured image above shows what I see from my window. People have used post-it notes to spell out messages. At any time, I’ll see people sitting in their window, eating, exercising, hanging up their laundry, or looking forlorn. Rear Window vibes.
