Over the last several weeks, we’ve been putting up tips for how to work from home and we’ve strongly stressed the importance of having structure to your day. Because let’s be honest, when you’re cooped up at home, it’s easy to slip out of normal routines because in the back of your mind you know you’re living through a crisis and that’s what we’re now calling The COVID-19 Effect.
What we’ve realized though, is that we’ve emphasized the importance of having structure to your day while you’re in self-quarantine, but not enough of how you can add structure to your day.
Each of us at Lovet Planners is armed with the Lovet Planner (and other planners of course), so we’re going to fill you in on The Ultimate Lovet Planners Quarantine Routine so you can get a little bit of inspiration as you develop your own routine. Who knows? You might find this routine fits perfectly for you.
Our Quarantine Routine Using the Lovet Planner
IMPORTANT DATES
In this month-at-a-glance view that we have for each month inside of the planner, we’ve started to use it as a reminder to connect with people we love in our lives. So here’s what we’ve been putting down in this section:
Important Date |
Action |
Birthdays & Anniversaries |
Create digital greeting cards to send to them. |
Personal Anniversaries |
Create social media posts & stories to celebrate. |
Movie & TV Release Dates |
To avoid cluttering up the weekly views, we put down the shows and movies we’re looking forward to premiering (or getting added to streaming services) here. |
WEEKLY VIEW
The Lovet Planner is a weekly planner that really segments out each day depending on the different things and tasks that are included that day. Here’s an example of what a normal week looks like for us during self-quarantine, removed of the work-from-home tasks that are specific to us.
