Positives of a lockdown

Page 2 of 3

posted on 8/4/20

The planet does seem to be benefiting and I can’t help but feel that this almost like nature's way of showing us that the way we live simply isn’t sustainable.

On a personal note, not having to get up early to endure the daily commute is the nicest thing about lockdown.

positives of the lockdown


1. no excuse to not lead a healthier lifestyle... so much time for home work outs / improving your cooking skills / eating better food

2. take the time to self improve yourself - read motivational books if that's your thing / finally work through your finances that you have been putting off

3. think about a side business you might be able to start

4. relax ! catch up on movies / tv you have been meaning to watch

5. save money on travel / petrol / car wear and tear / eating out / drinking / holidays

6. no spurs

Number 3 my new side business, selling toilet rolls to the neighbours at £10 a roll.

Yeah all that’s great of course, but is anyone else finding they are getting lazy and lethargic? There’s a million things I could be doing at home, but I’m just laying around watching telly from about 2 in the afternoon.

Having a massive throbbing toothache isn’t helping either!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Like many, I’m working from home now. When there’s live stuff to be done, I’m fine, but when it’s quieter and I’m supposed to be getting on with longer-term projects etc, I find motivation a real challenge. It’s so easy not to do it!

Yes every morning I wake up saying I’ll be healthy and go for a run but I think I’ve done it about 3 times.

what tools you using?

posted on 8/4/20

I’m trying to stay fit. Sitting at home all day makes me pretty restless so after I finish work I try to go for a couple of laps running round the park. Often do some exercises while I’m there as well like press-ups, squats, sit ups etc. It’s important for physical and mental well-being

The nice weather we’re starting to get is helping with this as well

posted on 8/4/20

Positives for me:

Don't get to until 8am each day

Have taken up running outside regularly and very much enjoying it

Getting to pop into the garden to get some fresh air regularly during the working day

Time saved on commuting more than compensates for the difficulties of working from home

Saving a ton of money. The only transaction in my personal account since my last pay day is football manager .

I find I’m on my phone all the time and it’s a real distraction when WFH. I’m sending and receiving ridiculous videos to and from my mates

Has anyone seen the videos with the African pall bearers dancing with the coffins

You don’t HAVE to improve yourself, just do whatever best gets you through the day.

Not saved much money. Spent most of my life savings on a room full of toilet paper.

I take it's the one where they drop the coffin?

posted on 8/4/20

No they don’t drop it.

If you’re referring to the same videos they start with a stupid stunt like a bloke going into a lions den or cycling over a bonfire.

Then when that facks up it cuts to these African dancers dancing with a coffin on their shoulders to some dance music put on top.

They are brilliant

Yes Humans out of Context on twitter use them quite a lot. They did tweeted the vid of Boris boasting about shaking hands with people who had Corona followed by the African dude just after it was announced Boris had been taken into ICU. They soon deleted it LOL

As soon as the takeaways open again, be on the lookout for swarms of starving seagulls
