Stepping offline to avoid screen time
Before 2020’s plot twist changed the course of most of our lives, I would try and do as much as I could with my phone and laptop. Tracking lists, finances, emails, notes, paying bills -everything.

When I initially heard about the restrictions to control the transmission of CoVID-19, I brushed it off without much thought.

But it was something we needed. I’ve lost count of the … Continue reading Life in Lockdown – A Perspective!
When things aren’t going your way!
I hate uncertainty. It doesn’t work with me. I don’t like the idea of being preoccupied with something while I mindlessly get on with my life. I’ve always believed- do one thing at a time, do it right and get it out of your mind. This is why I love planning my days. I do this with the full understanding that there are many aspects … Continue reading When things aren’t going your way!
