@kathryn.tatess: Of course, this was a stressful time, and people’s experiences were shaped by many factors (class, resources, etc). But one thing that fascinated me was how differently people responded when their normal routines and external structure disappeared

I was the fittest and quite possibly the happiest and most spiritual I had ever been during Covid. I loved it.

The people who thrived were introverts- the people who struggled are extroverts. It’s not about just structure and routine- it’s about being performative and a feedback loop

I think an added dimension to this is your home environment. If you have more support and safety (and for the adhd folks, accountability) at home, it was easier to build scaffolding for yourself to reach for goals independently.

Best time of my life during covid. Working out, cooking, baking, learning how to invest, discovered Masterclass, YouTube lectures, read so many books, done so many things, and watched everything on Netflix.

It depends on the context also! Some people were paid to be at home. Others had to work physically or remotely. And then unemployed people had no money and couldn't start a job. Everyone had a different scenario

I’m eternally jealous of people who got to clean out closets or binge Netflix… As a mental health professional all I did was work lol.

At the time I was jealous of both groups because my life did not change because I was considered an essential worker. If anything there was more stress and unfortunately the town I lived in did not care about any lockdown protocols.

I also think that the type of occupation and source of income shaped how people responded to the structural and environmental change that the pandemic caused. People with secure and steady income as they were made to work from home may have a different perception towards motivating one's self on how to traverse within the new set up. As compared to those who are "no work, no pay" or those that were paid on a daily basis after a speific labour has been rendered.
