Quarantine Routine



It's hard to believe but during a Global Pandemic, I'm feeling the best I have ever felt in years!
My work life and rest life is now pretty balanced out! 


Thankfully, I now have three days of work at the Greenhouse. Since a lot of my expenses have gone down, this is ample amount of income for me. I  have gone from six days of work a week to three, and now have four days off. What do I do with those four days off?


I know that time is one of the greatest gifts we have. I also know that if I don't have a plan on how to use it, I will waste this free time that I won't be getting back. I've given myself three goals for every day. A fitness goal, skill goal, and a spiritual goal. For example, 

Fitness Goals:



Improving strength and flexibility has been one of my goals!


I have also participated in online jiu Jitsu classes run by the gym I used to train at in Ontario. The classes are very well done and provide lots of solo drills for those of us who do not have training partners. I've ordered some gym mats so I'll be able to train outside where there is more room for me to move then in my tiny trailer space.

Skill Goals:




For skills, I've been working on horseback riding, nature walks, photography, and writing. 

Spiritual: 



Since Churches are closed during this time I've been watching my parish priest's youtube videos online. You can check them out at this link https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYu5rVH0j1eXdrdbNuISoiQ?fbclid=IwAR2xQDaXwDubgP_7vosqCLIgsdvRyBqQwMvjUAc7xJfrZZy4N-1SIfBabdQ He has online masses as well as talks and discussions on the Japanese Martyrs. 


I also write out plans for my day on the whiteboard in my room. I highly recommend whiteboards as they are fun and easy to use!


I find that in order to be successful in achieving your goals you need to offer yourself rewards too! If I've successfully completed my goals for the day, I often reward myself with chocolate, a movie, or chilling on my bed watching youtubes at the end of the day!



How are you spending your free time? What goals do you set for yourself each day?! Stay safe and healthy everyone!
