Summary

The COVID-19 pandemic has required that many of us stay at home. We have to learn how to work, be students, and spend much more time in our houses or apartments than normal. While some of us might have looked forward to the time off or excuse to be home, we might find ourselves wasting time and missing our key relationships. In this episode, you will learn how to maintain the two main areas threatened by the social distancing measures: productivity and relationships. I’ll give you some thoughts on how to wisely manage those areas and practical tips to keep up your relationships and productivity. Show Highlights Technology can provide us with a temporary compromise in times when we are not able to see others face-to-face. We should be aware of the limitations of technology so that we use it with wisdom. “The most practical thing in the world is taking care of your soul.” The key to being productive when your normal schedule is upended is to set realistic expectations. Following a normal schedule and routines as much as possible will greatly benefit your daily productivity. You should limit digital media and engage in as many analog activities as possible.
