Productivity and Focus

  • Try out Pomodoro technique, for Mac users Tomato One is a very simple app to help you with that.
  • Ignore Corona tweets by adding mute words. Go to: Settings>Content preferences>Safety>Muted>Muted words.
  • If you have problems keeping away from social media, a (paid) alternative for computers and phones is Freedom. Free alternatives include ColdTurkey and SelfControl(Mac Only)
  • Making priority list of things-to-do ALWAYS helps to keep on track! Scratch out the ones as you finish them πŸ“
  • Evernote is great for keeping notes

Mental (and Physical) Health

  • If you're all alone, you need to make an effort to stay in communication with your friends and family. And your colleagues, too! A quick video call can really lift your spirits.
  • Go for a walk (while we still can); failing that, do some basic exercises. Take a break and do some push ups, or run on the spot for a few minutes to make your heart beat faster.
  • For the fitness enthusiasts, check this home workout routine. πŸ‹οΈβ€β™€οΈ πŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈ
  • If you want to exercise but want something gentler there are plenty of yoga videos, including this playlist for "uncertain times"
  • You need to remember that this is an unprecedented situation. Try not to be too hard on yourself if you're struggling to focus.

Don't Forget

We are all in this together. Reach out to your colleagues to see how they are doing. And wash those hands!
