Are you keeping a "Quarantine 2020" journal?

Are you keeping a "Quarantine 2020" journal?

If not, you should start! It’ll help you organize your thoughts during these difficult times and may help educate future generations.

Jen A. Miller of The New York Times says, "your observations matter, and jotting down your thoughts and feelings may also help you make sense of them. These are all reasons you should consider starting a coronavirus diary right now, even if you don’t think what you’re seeing, experiencing and feeling is important. It is."

The most important this is to record your thoughts in the way that is most comfortable to you.  Most people hear diary or journal and automatically think pen to paper... It doesn't have to be!  You can use whatever media you want (audio, video, photo, drawing or simply jot notes into your phone).

Wondering where to start?  Here are some tips:

• What did you do today (or this week)? How was that different than what you would do on a “normal” day/week?
• What changes have you personally experienced (physically, mentally and/or emotionally) since this crisis began
• What has been the most difficult thing for you personally about this crisis? Do you think there’s anything positive that may come from what’s happening?
