5 Ways to Keep Track of Time<br />in Quarantine Shelter-in-place orders have <br />caused a massive disruption to daily life. For many, a loss of daily structure has led <br />to disorientation. If you seem to keep <br />forgetting what day of the week it is, you're not alone. Working from home can make it difficult <br />to differentiate Monday from Wednesday. During quarantine, experts recommend <br />creating a new routine that has a clear schedule. Here are five new routines <br />that can help keep you on track. 1. Plan chores for specific times<br />rather than simply lumping them <br />into the activities of the day. 2. Try a new recipe or exercise. <br />This can help keep you present because <br />you'll be extra focused at trying something new. 3. Go outside. Fresh air and sunlight <br />can work wonders for mood and perspective. 4. Anchor the days of the week to <br />specific activities or appointments, <br />such as a special dinner or virtual conference. 5. Reserve weekend activities, <br />such as watching movies or <br />reading for pleasure, specifically for the weekend.
