What does a standard day look like for you now that you are working from home?
I wake up around 6:30-6:45AM and typically start my day by either going for a run or practicing yoga. I watch the news while making breakfast, usually eggs and avocado toast.
I update my letterboard with a new number to show how many days we have been quarantining. It’s a simple task that’s helped me keep track of the days.
By 8, I have my coffee at the kitchen table – my “office space” – and start checking emails. I jump on a daily call around 8:30 with the New Jersey Environmental Team to go over workload and project updates.
By lunchtime, if it’s a nice day, my boyfriend and I will go for a walk around town (while social distancing), and I’ll usually call or FaceTime friends and family members to check in with them. If it’s rainy, I'll curl up on the couch, eat lunch, and try to cram in a few chapters of whatever book I’m reading.
As the afternoon rolls into evening, I start planning dinner so when both my boyfriend and I finish work we can cook together. After dinner, we make progress on half-finished puzzles, play Nintendo Switch, or watch an episode (or three) of "Ozark."
