I hope this post finds you well.
We are living in strange times.
I began writing this post last weekend, and it’s amazing how much has already changed. All the way back on Sunday, I was writing about how the zoo was closed and the recommendation was to not go to the gym, so Jiu Jitsu was out. I can now update that to, “Pretty much everything everywhere is closed.”
The governor of California has instructed everyone to stay home. The same in New York.
So, what will you do?
I am so grateful that Abbie and I are both able to work from home, and I recognize that not everybody has that ability in these trying times.
Obviously, nobody knows how long this is going to last. So, what are you going to do with the next 2, 4, or 8 (or more) weeks at home with very little else to do?
Having a computer or smart phone with internet access gives you virtually endless options.
You could start (or finish) that book you’ve always been meaning to – either reading or writing.
You can clean your home. If you’re going to be there for awhile, why not make it the best space it can be?
You can finish that project that has been staring you down every single time you set foot in the garage (like I did – see pictures below).
Learn a new skill
Start doing body-weight exercises.
The options are virtually limitless.
Don’t just sit around bitching about how much everything sucks because you can’t go anywhere. There’s nothing fun going on pretty much anywhere in the world right now. FOMO is gone, because there is nothing on which you can miss out.
There are people out there who are taking this time to set themselves up for the future. Be one of those people. While you have nothing else going on, work on yourself. Work on those things that you always wanted but felt you never had the time to start.
And wash your hands!
Why not finish those projects that are “nearly done"?
