We have been in a very crazy time as we all know. Everything is being disrupted, everyone’s life is affected one way or another. While creating a whole bunch of new issues, this crisis is also bringing old and existing issues to the surface. It is creating tension in all kinds of areas and there is a huge amount of unintended consequences. With all of that being said, I want to talk about what we can consider going forward. While I know the core focus of this blog has been time management and specifically how to handle it with ADHD and other similar issues. I will definitely expand more on that in the future going forward. However, for now, as the entire world’s eyes are on this crisis, I will continue my focus on that and how we can still maximize our productivity during this time.
This post is going to be focused a little more on what we can do now and getting out of this. Also, this post will be not be a numbered post as you are used to, it will be more of a journal entry. I am pretty sure all of us had things about our lives that we wanted to change and improve before all of this happened. I know it may be easier to think about the world before this when we could go places, see people in person, and do all kinds of fun activities that were amazing. We may have forgotten all of the little things and perhaps bigger things that we struggled with then. When this is all over and when we are back to a “new normal” and even much later when this is five, ten, twenty, etc years ago, live won’t be perfect then either. This is just a much crazier time for everyone and it may be bringing out the worst in us. I see more hate on Facebook than ever before, but it was certainly there a year ago also. I say all of this to say that while so many things are cancelled and postponed, improving ourselves and making the most of our time shouldn’t be.
With so much more disruption we all have more opportunity to think about what we want to change and what we don’t like. As the world is turned upside down, it is a great time to re-evaluate everything that we are doing how our lives are going. We might as well take advantage of the opportunity as we are being forced into it anyway. There are a lot of areas in our lives that we can review, whether it’s a large or small decisions. Our goals have undoubtedly changed, but it is definitely a good idea to set new ones. Despite uncertainty in so many areas, there are things we can do for certain. We can still make schedules, time budgets, and goals. We can still clean our homes, read books, develop healthy and productive habits. While we shouldn’t be unrealistically optimistic, we can still have hope for our future and do things now that will make the future brighter. We don’t know how long it will be until we get to “normal” and also with so much talks of a “new normal” we know it will be different. As we all approach a new normal, let it be a normal that is filled with productive habits and things that are make our lives and those around us better. People need us to be at our best now more than ever. I understand that isn’t easy and may not be possible right now according to your situation. However, we can be the best and most productive that we can possibly be at the moment. Now is the perfect time to hit the reset button on our lives. That will be a different story for each person. Thanks again for reading whether you are reading this for the first time or have been a reader for months even years. Stay well!
