Both my husband and I have worked from home for the past few years. We are now in our Seventh week of staying home and Homeschooling them. We are also in the process of creating a new E-Course for this year. Instead of filming In-Person interviews with experts, I’ve had to conduct the interviews over zoom. 

The upside is that I get to interview experts from around the world, not just those who are local to me.

We have found it helpful to wake and follow the normal daily routine. We get dressed, despite the fact we aren’t going anywhere, and we try to start work and schooling at the same time, as usual, to keep to a normal schedule.

We’ve been saying we wanted to start meditating for years, but we’ve never made the time for it. Now is our time!

1. The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver

2. Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

5. Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

I really hope that this period of time will be an eye-opener for many people and businesses. We will have perhaps learned how to work more productively in fewer work hours. We will have responded and reacted in innovative ways, which may become a wonderful new way forward. We will have slowed down our minds and bodies and allowed room for thinking creatively in terms of business ideas and strategy. 

Perhaps we will have all shifted our priorities on the work/life balance scale and you’ll see more people thriving on a personal level.
