Hello all, I hope you are well as you read this. As we know, it’s been another crazy week with COVID-19 and many more cases have been discovered. My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone who has been impacted in any way by this disease. I know that even if our lives haven’t been impacted in a major way, we are still being inconvenienced and not able to do certain things that we could do before. While it can be difficult to navigate a lifestyle and schedule that may be very different. While I have been focusing on ADHD specifically, this is a situation that is happening to everyone and affects everyone. Pretty much no matter where you are in the world, your life as changed to some extent. Here a few more ways to stay productive in a situation like this.
Go for a walk if it’s nice. One good thing about the timing of this virus is that nicer weather is coming. On a nice day a walk around your neighborhood to get outside and clear your head. If you have a balcony, patio, porch, you can sit outside as well. Getting fresh air will make you feel better and make you more productive when you are doing what you need to do inside. If you are sick, stay inside and get your rest.
Make new goals. If you made goals for 2020, you may need to change them or make new goals. This can giver you a fresh start. If you haven’t made goals for the year (or whatever time period you choose, I normally go for quarterly), then you may want to make new goals. This may also be a good opportunity to switch to what could be a more effective goal setting and evaluating method.
Make new time management strategies. I have mentioned before a few times that it is good to make changed and adjustments to your time management methods. This could how your make a schedule, time budget, or how you track your time. When something changes, it may be appropriate to make a new schedule.
Do your best to stay well. You are most productive when you are well. So I’ll point out the obvious, if you don’t have to go somewhere, don’t. That way you maximize your chances of staying well and keeping others well. While there are a lot of things that we will be able to do when this is all over, now is the time to focus on the stuff that you haven’t been able to get to because you were so busy during your normal life (of course provided that your life is different as most all).
I hope you are staying well and still being able to maximize your productivity.
