First of all, it's important to keep in mind if you are isolating yourself, it does not necessarily mean you are or will be ill. The bottom line is it is a crucial and effective tool in controlling the spread of this or any disease. I thank you for caring enough to do so.
So, I'll start off with the first tip any of you who have other items, please, share them.
Establish a routine.
It helps to clear your mind. There's no need to be elaborate with your routine, but, you may if you wish.
For example,
1. Get up in the morning at some regular time that seems comfortable to you.
2. Shower and brush your teeth.
3. Get dressed. (I'd recommend something other than what you sleep in.)
4. Prepare breakfast.
5. Check the news.
6. Attend to any business you may have pending.
7. Work on some diversion or hobby or actual work if you are able to telework and maybe some light housekeeping or laundry.
8. Have a small afternoon meal.
9. Some variation of #7.
10. Exercise. (No need to skimp here. And, remember to take your vitamins and other supplements.)
11. An evening snack. (If your level of activity is reduced. Be sure to take in a commensurately reduced number of calories.)
12. Read, Movie, and/or TV.
13. Go to bed. The actual time you do this may vary. Do it when you're tired enough to sleep. (I had a dog who went to bed at exactly the same time every night. No matter what was happening in the house.)
Any other tips to share?
