Ask HN: Lifestyle Change During Lockdown
- My productivity sunk 50%, in that I spend more than on an activity that I used to
- My perception of weekday and weekend has become murky, and that is unsettling. My work overflows into weekends, my colleagues & extended colleagues work over weekends. And I spend "weekend" times during weekdays.
- I feel I have more time in hand, but I am constantly distracted
- I miss "bouncing off ideas" with colleagues over a coffee or along the corridor
- Contrary: I spent far less time being active, exercising or playing because of fear of going out. Wish I had bought exercise gear before these.
- As a result, I struggle to get good rest at night, though I feel lazy all day
- I now have a heightened sense to keep things around me clean, sanitizing hands, etc.
- I think employer-employee tide has changed direction for a foreseeable future. Its employer's turn now.
- Social distancing is good a way that I don't have to interact & spend time with people I don't want to.
- Contrary: Spent far less time reading a book, or a long article
- Time I spend on podcast reduced by 80%
- I spend more time in the kitchen, cooking or nibbling something. I spend about 1 hour per day more in the kitchen
- I watch more YouTube, Netflix. I used to watch 1 movie per week earlier, now 1 movie per day!
- I constantly worry about running out of food supplies for the community, should this continue. I have not stocked any more than what is required for 1-2 weeks
