Tip of the Day

Quarantine Depression, or How to break up time when every day feels like Groundhog Day:

“A few weeks into my family’s quarantine, it started to hit me just how much every day felt like a carbon copy of the one before: wake up, make coffee, juggle the demands of my work and kids, remember to eat, go to bed, repeat. Remember that movie Groundhog Day? I can’t seem to shake the feeling that I’m living my own version of Bill Murray’s ordeal. The only difference is that instead of being stuck on a time loop in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, I’m stuck inside the four walls of my suburban home...”

Some advice:

Create a routine.
Manufacture spontaneity.
Find something to master.
Embrace the opportunity to change.
