At least for me this has been working out so far. I have been sorted out paperwork, doing the decorating, finally getting round to sorting my garden out, making the most of the free time I have now I can't work. The quality family time hs only given me clarity on issues that I didnt even realise were issues until I stopped working. For me its been going better then expected, this whole self isolation thing but its not the same for everyone.

Beautiful! Productivity is the key! I definitely have to try harder at keeping myself motivated by setting small goals and doing things that please me (even though locked inside of a house).
I'm so happy that you find comfort with gardening and decoration, you seem like a very talented, creative and skilled person. Moreover, "clarity on issues" is also very interesting. It made me realize that we don't know yet but there will be good outcomes from this struggle. We now have an opportunity to look at ourselves and reflect, reevaluate, restore. Not to mention the reassessment of our relationships and social environment that will change completely from now on...
