5 ways I鈥檓 coping with the pandemic

1. Weekly Zoom Meetings

It鈥檚 weird because I鈥檝e actually been able to catch up with friends MORE. People living interstate that I wasn鈥檛 seeing regularly are now just a zoom call away, and we鈥檝e all got plenty of time on our hands. COVID-19 has actually brought us all together.

2. Riding

I have definitely got sick of the scenery of my house. Sometimes I鈥檒l move from room to room just to break things up a bit, but it鈥檚 good to leave the house from time to time. The way I鈥檝e been doing this is going for bike rides through nature. If I end up having to self-quarantine I guess I鈥檒l replace this with an exercise bike and national geographic.

3. My workspace

I think one of the most important things I鈥檝e done is establish a working space and set time aside for particular activities. Essentially, what I鈥檝e done is 艧et up a bootleg home office. I wanted a big desk that I could really spread out on, so I've got a plastic dining table set up with little spots for all my different uni files.

4. Timetable

I鈥檝e also set aside different days for different things. Tuesday is 鈥渨ork day鈥, Thursday is 鈥渦ni day鈥, and so on. I鈥檝e found this really helpful听because all my days were feeling like they were exactly the same, and now I鈥檝e got a little bit of structure.

5. Face to face catch ups

In a time where I see substantially less people face to face, I鈥檝e been really valuing having little catch-ups with the people I still do get to see. It鈥檚 funny how it makes a difference just to ask other people in your house if you can have lunch together, or a coffee.
