While we're all anxiously awaiting for the country to fully reopen, it's easy to lose our sense of time and at some level ourselves. Days can begin to blend into each other, outfits are less and less coordinated, and hair is frumpy.  Following a routine can give us an anchor and greater sense of control over our lives and restore a sense of normality, that not only benefits us ourselves but our families and colleagues.

In this episode I offer a few tips to keep you productive during the quarantine and ready to return to full “boss” mode following the pandemic.  There are few simple things you can do to make big impacts on your health, mental outlook and effectiveness. Consider adding some physical activity into your schedule - as little as 20 minutes per day will improve your fitness and mental outlook. Building your physical strength is powerful and offers a ton of health benefits. Getting organized and de-cluttering allows us to exert some control over our lives - and therefore feel less helpless! Take steps to not only declutter your space but your mind by reading a good book. Reading builds your mental muscles and makes your conversation and writing more interesting. You can learn new skills and maybe even make yourself more employable.

These uncertain times will end.  And when it does, you’ll be pleased that you didn’t let the time slip away or get the best of you.
