The 4 Best Habits To Implement In Lockdown

I know some states are getting to come out of lockdown, but my state is not one of them. As our stay-at-home order continues and I am stuck at home due to working completely non-essential retail, I am thankful for a few things.

Two, I am very thankful that I moved in with family, living with my sister who already works from home and has a home office. Three, I moved right before lockdown happened, meaning that I had a brand new environment.

This means that I had the advantage of fresh surroundings (great for habit-building), a home office with space for me to work, and some form of income. I have been home since March 23rd, which brings me to my 6th week as of today. It took a while for me to get into my routines, but I am well into my third week now and have formed this post as a way to share what habits I have focused on, why, and how they have improved my life.
