Everyone is eager to get back to their pre-Covid lives. Just remember, we have to strike a careful balance between the risk to our individual occupational health and the risk to our collective physical health. #doinginstead

"‘It’s one thing to survive the infection, but what’s next?’ Some COVID-19 patients need rehab to walk, talk and problem solve."

Occupational therapists will have an important role in getting people back to doing their everyday occupations

Having to find ways of #doinginstead has shifted the value we place on everyday things that keep us all safe, and has opened our eyes to work that is often invisible.

If you're experiencing "quarantine fatigue", a.k.a. Covid burnout, know that you're not alone. Be kind to yourself and relax your expectations of yourself.

This study from the US Department of Labour in 2008 looked at the average employed American's daily time use (occupational diet).

Think about your typical pre-Covid diet and your diet now. What's missing? What's new? What's better, and what's worse? #doinginstead @CTURandMTUS
