3. Fix Your Sleep Cycle, And Habituate Yourself To An Early Waking Time

We know we aren't far from the truth when we say that the exact opposite has been happening to most of us. With us now confined to our houses, working from our bedrooms, and no physical or social engagements to take care of, it's extremely easy to mess up your sleeping cycles and get accustomed to falling asleep at ungodly hours. But what happens when you have to resume going to work? Instead, use this time to get into the habit of going to bed at a reasonable time, and waking up early to get a fresh start on the day ahead.

4. Clean Up Your Computer, And Organise Your Desktop

No, no. Don't avert your eyes. It's okay if you currently have a desktop that is chaotic enough to induce a headache with just one glance. But sooner or later, there will come a time when you will urgently need a specific file, and the only option at your dispense would be to look through some 50 folders, all untitled, and inconspicuous looking. The alternative? Clean up your desktop now. Not only is it necessary to help your computer function at its optimal speed (and avoid the possibility of you hurling it at the wall with frustration), but knowing exactly where your important documents and files are will help you stay organised in your head as you work. Trust us, that does have an impact on your productivity.

5. Update Your Calendar With Goals And Engagements

We know, we know. You don't have any particular plans for the foreseeable future, so how can you fill your calendar right now? Well, we are asking you to do more than just mark your calendar with important dates. We are asking you to create your own timeline, whether that's a one month plan or a 6-month plan. Set specific time periods for the things you want to achieve, and skills you want to develop, establish measurable goals, and mark your roadmap to a better you on your calendar, with your desired milestones clearly labelled.

6. Clear Out Your Medicine Cabinet

You already know that the strip of Crocin in your medicine cabinet expired 7 months ago, but it continues to occupy permanent residency in your collection of essential medication. Just one word, why?! Take out some time during this lockdown period to clear out our medicine cabinet, throw out expired pills, and create a stock of medication you can actually use in case of emergencies. Such as this one.

7. Make A Healthy Meal Plan, Write It Down, And Pin It Up Where You Can See It

For so long, you've been telling yourself, and those around you, that you'd definitely stick to your ideal diet plan if only your schedule allowed for it. After all with hectic office hours, unexpected meetings and no specific lunch break, our tendency to consume junk increases manifold. But now that you are restricted to your house, you have the perfect opportunity to establish a healthy diet full of nutritious home-cooked food. Chart out your meals through the day on paper, and pin it up where you can clearly see it. That way , every time you get the urge to order a burger, your diet chart will be right in front of you telling you what you should get instead.
