“Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than when you woke up.”

Well, thank you for that one, Spidey. It’s quite appropriate for me, and many others, right now, too.
During this strange time of lockdown, we have been granted the gift of time.
I know, sometimes, it doesn’t feel like it, but we have.
There is the extra time in the day where you would be commuting to work, Or if you are working from home, you might find that as other businesses are in the same boat, there is less to do, so you gain more time there.
So why not use that extra time to be productive? Do things to improve your own self?
At the beginning, I had all sorts of plans, then the whole change of lifestyle rendered me incapable of doing anything.
I adopted the mantra du jour of “It’s not a normal time, it’s okay to not be productive.”
A couple of weeks in and I settled into a routine: my #newnormal.
Though I still have to go into school, periodically, and, when I am home, I need to makes sure the kids are up and ready for their remote learning, as well as doing some online training myself, and planning. I still find myself with time.
Time to do other things.
So I’m reading more. I’m (finally) writing more. I have started back up with a writing course I signed up to last year, and nearly finished it.
And I have even done an Instagram course, on how to build a brand there.
I’ve done two modules of a course in Calligraphy. (It’s all been theory so far, but I look forward to the practical bit!)
And I have been learning about Scrivener, a new to me piece of software that I have invested in, to help with my writing.
Last night, I watched a free webinar about some basics on the software and it blew my mind! I am so excited to use it now, knowing a few more tricks of the trade, and I have signed up for another course, in more detail, so I can learn exactly how this software will be useful to me.
See, learning new things every day, here!
And the best thing?
Once I’ve learned it, I know my knowledge may be of use to someone I know, and I can pass it on.
After all, to learn, is to teach, is it not?
So… tell me, what is something new you have learned, over these strange lockdown times?
Have a peaceful Sunday Peeps. And enjoy your week! ❤
