3 tips for staying busy during the second wave of COVID-19

So you’ve ended up in self-quarantine just like thousands of other Americans. Maybe you’re working from home or just taking some time off to focus on self-care. Whatever it is, now is the perfect time to focus on a new personal project to help keep yourself busy and focused.

Focus on self-care

The 40-hour workweek sometimes leaves little to no room for self-care. Now is the time to completely rejuvenate so when you do come back to the office, you’re ready to perform. We suggest catching up on sleep, eating a healthy, balanced diet, and creating an exercise program that you can commit to.

If you’re light on reading we suggest the following books: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, How to Win Friends and Influence People, and Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… And Others Don’t.

Complete that home project

There’s nothing that will make you feel more productive than a bit of DIY. If you’ve been wanting to rebuild your deck, replace your faucet, or paint your office a more inviting color, this is your chance. You can even recruit your family to help make projects happen.
