Isolation Edition

Oh boy,

This work-from-home / isolation / social distancing thing has thrown my routine and schedule right out the window. I am a creature of habit and I love optimization. Some of you may have gathered from past breakfasts that I am somewhat obsessively trying to develop the best schedule in my life that optimizes both my personal and professional performance to the highest degree. Coming out of 2019, I was very motivated to turn the next decade into The Roaring Twenty-Twenties. Unfortunately, I’ve never considered the black swan event of a pandemic and how that would impact my routines, habits and schedules. This has thrown a wrench into my yearly goals, my summer plans and I’m definitely close to becoming part of the COVID-19lbs club.

So lets get together this Thursday and have a virtual breakfast. Same great time. I know…. I know….. 7:30 is early to be eating breakfast when you’ve been rolling out of bed at 8:25 every day; but treat this as the first step in attempting to re-establish good habits. I certainly will be. I’ve pushed the meeting time by 1hr so that our friends from Vancouver can join.

Agenda and discussion questions will commence at 7:30AM, but I encourage everyone to join the call at 7:00 to cook breakfast together.

  1. What part of your life (schedule/plans/routine etc) has suffered during this pandemic? What do you miss from the ‘normal life’?
  2. What is something you could get used to? Any silver linings discovered?
  3. How have you been keeping yourself accountable? Please share some tips/tricks.
  4. Will there be any changes to your normal life when you get back to it? Anything that you’ve been taking for granted?
