Since COVID came onto the earth & we're (hopefully) getting used to a different way of living, what's been your focus these days as you live your life?
I'm hanging in there. Just been going to grocery stores, walking in the park, & going for drives really.
Going to try to make home as enjoyable & pleasant as possible since we're spending a LOT more time here. Ordered quite a bit these last few mos. Got a few kitchen tools since I'm cooking a LOT more. Got all new stuff for the bed...wish I could get a new mattress! And would like a new TV too, I'll see...
I'm doing more w/ my skincare than ever before, such as using skincare masks. My skin's looking better than it has in a long time.
My next new focus might be to start growing a vegetable or two...scallions &/or cilantro.
(I never suffered any depression, anxiety, or any other mental disorder, etc. ever.)
My wife and I walk 3 to 6 miles every day. I have a suction cup picker that I use it to pick up garbage and we carry a plastic bag to put the garbage in. We fill a bag virtually every day.
We are also doing some renovations on our house, new siding, painting, straightening up my shop. It's easy for us to socially distance and we carry masks with us at all time.
We also both play guitar and are learning to play duets together.
Our life is full enough to satisfy us.

Focus? Nothing related to Covid-19 other than awareness of logistical details that might be affected by it. Getting a house ready to sell and selling it. Planning a new garage build and building it. Staying in touch with the people I always stay in touch with...the method just changed a little. Doing the things I always do, again, the methods may have changed a bit. All things that would have happened whether a pandemic showed up or not. Care about the things and people I've always cared about, not turned inward to focus on myself. No more me, me, me, me than usual hopefully. I value the ability to flex when flex seems to be called for and carry on in general.

Sounds good & that's great that you're not stressed! We're at a minimum stress level ourselves too.
Yeah, I was never really a breakfast person & for yrs never ate breakfast. These days I'll eat breakfast sometimes & then an early dinner like during the 3 or 4pm hour.
I lost focus completely. Can't focus on anything. I eat more due to stress. I keep thinking about the future
I spend HOURS on zillow.com every single day. I can't afford a house but I can't stop
Our home business has increased as it is recreation based. Our garden output is bountiful so we eat many veggies, sell some and give some to my mom and our daughter. We are planning a several month camping trip this fall so are getting ideas and preparing. The biggest current focus is our new roof. It is being done this week so we we and the dogs hide out in the cabin or take a walk.
Filled 7 contractors bags with asbestos shingles. Hauled the shingles to the "Special" landfill that takes toxic crap.
Installed 4' X 8' T1-11 siding. Started painting. It's enough to keep us occupied for now.
I have been busier than usual managing a corporate property. I am also, FINALLY, on the home stretch of my web site creation, which is a major accomplishment, as it will give me a base for my blogs, and a specific direction.
I still have a lot of downsizing and organizing to do (basement, shed, storage unit). I need help with this and hopefully will have it and be motivated to let go of some stuff.
I have to make some changes to my trust, which I am resisting, as I have made too many changes in the past. This weighs heavily on me, but I am putting it at the end of my list right now.
I want to create an art shed, but need someone to build it for me. I will try again to find the right person, but this has slipped down on the list.
I am recovering from an ongoing trauma (around ten years for the worst of it, so far) - I am much healthier than I was two years ago. My hair grew back and I am not crying 24/7.
I've made some progress during the pandemic, and I am feeling pretty good.
