COVID-19 spread is a once in a lifetime situation and there are many reasons to be worried about health, family, and finances. One thing that seems certain is that things will be back to normal in a year or two for most of us. There is a silver lining to most of the recent disruptions and changes:
- Office closed and WFH: bonus commute time and energy to exercise, read, pursue a hobby.
- Slow down at work or business: great, more time to flesh out that strategy, idea, side project, or to sharpen the tools that we never seem to have the time to do usually.
- Financial concerns: audit and clean up unnecessary spending and organize accounts.
- Social distancing: spend time alone, reflect, think of what you want to do and make some plans.
- Schools closed: enjoy the family time, figure out creative and fun ways to engage with kids.
- Panic and worry around you: practice empathy, kindness, service.
