Things that have helped me considerably, I definitely notice if I haven't been keeping up with them.
- Go outside at least once a day, even for 10 minutes. Grab your morning coffee and just face the sun and breath and just relax for a bit. No phones allowed.
- I've halted all work on side projects during this pandemic. It's more important for me to enjoy my free-time now since the separation between home and office is not as clear with most people working from home.
- Daily conversation(s) with some friends/family. Not always realistic but contact with loved ones, even just BSing has always been helpful to me.
- Limit social media as much as possible. No offense to the people who enjoy these platforms, but I think Facebook, Twitter, Reddit are not good for humanity. Humans best interact face-to-face, even if it's over a video call.
- Limit news intake. I only look at the highlights periodically, any more than that and we're feeding that up-to-the-second news cycle that keeps us engaged and anxious.
- Read a book, any book. Phone is turned off and put away. This helps even if you're only able to do it for 30 minutes.
- Explore non-digital side projects. Have you moved home and now live with family? Is there potential to start a small garden? Something else? There's so much we can do that doesn't involve a computer or phone.
