What are Some of My Pandemic Hacks?

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

text story

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

If I had to recommend some pandemic hacks for people 100 years in the future, I would say:
-Stock up on sweatpants, hoodies, and fuzzy socks! Since you will more than likely be working from home, comfort is a must.
-Set your Zoom video setting Touch Up Your Appearance to 100%. It will compensate for not wearing makeup on Zoom calls.
-Stop watching the news. It will only stress you out. Your friends and family will definitely be updating you anyway on the latest stories.
-Edit your social media to avoid the negative nellies, conspiracy theorists, and political debates.
-Create a weekly dinner menu and schedule grocery deliveries once a week. So much better than going to the grocery store.
-Go on regular walks to get out of the house and get some fresh air.
-Read books with a cup of steaming hot tea next to you while bundling up in a soft blanket.
-Forgive yourself for gaining quarantine weight!
-Naps. Take a lot of naps!

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?

#pandemic prompt, #HST 580, #Arizona State University, #pandemic hack.

Who originally created this object? (If you created this object, such as photo, then put "self" here.)
