When are we going to get past inundating ourselves with passive entertainment and start regularly doing things that have deep, long-term meaningfulness?

@JustinSarachik Good interview, and good read. Incredible how many wonderful people are on the front lines doing what no one else wants to do in the middle of one of the greatest crises of our time. Are more interviews coming soon?

@ebriceno8 @AspenInstitute Thanks for this resource Ed! I've been looking for a good publication on learning lately, as I've been seeking to be more productive, and this fits that perfectly.

Tip: Don't use this time as an excuse to totally disengage from everyone else (do get good time off, though). Keep in contact with your friends, and show that you care about others. Go as far as *gasp!* setting up a video call. It'll go a long way. #SocialDistancing

#Day19ofLockdown And calling friends is still as necessary as ever. Seriously, you probably know someone who hasn't gotten many texts or an opportunity to chat recently. Reach out! It's really important! https://t.co/NPr6suv4HG

Just one technique we can all start practicing while we have the chance to.

Tip 1: Calendar blocking
Take your calendar and block out every hour to totally coordinate the day ahead.

If you need tips on increasing your #productivity in learning new skills, I've written on this topic (and will continue writing on it throughout the pandemic) here. https://t.co/79dLgoxt3Q

So, COVID-19 is awful. However, this is one of the best opportunities many of us will have to do something useful and productive with our free time. Learn something new and invest in #selfimprovement

[Myron Highsmith @MyronHighsmith]

AND this is especially important because what it takes to get better at something, deliberate practice, is easier right now. Less distractions and constant stimulus from life if you avoid the news.

Three daily habits that I feel enable me to make the most of life through the crisis and beyond:

As COVID-19 subsides, I wonder if #soloism will rise? People taking vacations away from people, getting a luxury dinner in a six-feet-separated restaurant, or treating themselves to a small group party sudden seems feasible. https://t.co/cNT6XMxYrL
