When the first positive test came back for Covid in my family, I started writing things down. Especially the big things I learned. Even if you’re not in this situation, hearing what people learned from challenging situations is always helpful to me. You can find encouragement or comfort or ideas from someone else’s experience, even if your experience is centered around something completely different. So even if you’re not dealing with Covid, I hope you still find value in this episode.Helpful Companion LinksGrab The Lazy Genius Way (affiliate link) where I share the 13 Lazy Genius principles that help me in everyday life, including during quarantine.Download a simple Quarantine Tracker to keep up with symptoms, test results and more.Here’s our Quarantine Kit, aka the items that got us through two weeks at home.Other shows mentioned in this episode: Pantsuit Politics and last week’s episode #230: How to Be a PersonFun news alert: We have new gear!

I think we all need some solidarity in this space as well as some practical help. My goal is for you to get both.

#360 - A Pep Talk for the Perpetually Tired

While this episode is definitely seven routines that work for me, the reason I’m sharing them is not so that you will do them because they’ll work.
