PANDEMIC PRODUCTIVITY

Google+ Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr +

Who knew that one day humanity could be saved by simply chilling in the house? Honestly, when Covid – 19, alias Corona virus, broke out I never imagined it would cripple the world like it has. Something as simple as going out and meeting up with friends is potentially lethal. A handshake or even a hug could send you straight to your maker.

Interestingly when it was advised and later imposed on us to stay home a productivity craze swept through the internet. People began peddling the idea that with all the time available we should strive to be at the top of our game when the pandemic passes. They were selling a picture of success that should come along; a new business plan, a banging body from home workouts and  many other noble goals but let us be a bit real for a minute. Bitch, I can’t even keep up with my sanity! None of us know of tomorrow. What if (pardon my pessimism) you do not survive the virus? Won’t all the pressure be un-due? Won’t it have been better to spend that time the way you would have liked instead of the way a stranger thinks you should align your life. Do what floats your boat. I don’t think there will be any other time (God willing) in this life time when you can be live like a koala, sleeping 22 hours a day, just eating and chilling without your parents complaining. This life is too fickle for a random internet stranger to compel you to do what they think is the proper way. If you want to take 10 online courses, go for it! If not it is still okay. Live by your own metric!
