Negative aspects are lots of interruptions. Hard to focus while maintaining full-time work, a graduate course, having my spouse and four kids at home, three of which need help with remote learning. The work never ends. It also gets frustrating to hear so many people talk about free time and starting new hobbies. I have no time for that. On the plus side, I do enjoy that we're not running from event to event. That was also overwhelming. Above all, I'm grateful to still have my job and know that my family is with me and safe.	You can create multiple lines per quote - so one row for each code or list them all in one cell
Positive mostly - the extra time with my teenagers has been a blessing. I'm a remote employee so the extra people in the house has also been a distraction. My husband took over my office :(, so I've been in the front living room. I do yoga online to deal with a stressful day. This really helps. I appreciate the support from School and feel blessed to have a job. Thank you for your care, and concern about our overall welfare. Take care.
I have been reading, working out, and attending virtual meetings.
Positive aspects include getting more rest and focusing on exercise and eating healthy. Negative aspects include lack of interaction with people and feeling very alone. I try to keep to a regular schedule and work on small projects to feel a sense of accomplishment.
I've worked remotely for years and my husband is still working at his office. Day to day, not much has changed for us and we have a one-year old, so our time is spent with him and our attention on him. To cope, weve been avoiding social media and the news. We consult main news networks twice a day to stay informed and we spend the rest of the day with each other. Now that it is finally spring, we can spend time outside, which helps immensely. On the negative side, we have not seen our extended family in about a month and really miss the grandmas (and I know they miss their grandson). We try to Facetime and videochat, but it's limiting, especially with a one-year old. Mainly we talk on the phone to stay connected, but this isn't new, we have used the phone to stay in touch and connect for years. On the positive side, we are getting a lot of time together with our nuclear family which has been quite enjoyable.
Positive:Exploring new types of cooking; I have created a beautiful flower and vegetable garden;Connecting socially with family and friends via Zoom and Face-time;Negative: change in social life-style-no restaurants and
Positive aspects are more time with immediate family, cleaner environment, and more flexible working conditions. Negative aspects are missing time with extended family and the lack of outdoor time (especially for kids).
Its getting lonely, even with family. The quiet time is good with family. We are allowed to go outside, which is great. Home projects are keeping us busy. Still a sense of grief for the way life ran before and irritation at the many changes that may have to become part of routines.
Exercising to relieve stress and calling/texting/Facetiming family and friends. Positives are more time at home and an easier daily routine (not having to run my kids to activities, etc.). Negatives are watching people suffer in various ways, as well as the general uncertainty. Some practical negatives include things like not having groceries in my area.
My wife and I get along very well and are very close. We don't have kids either, and we have essentially been socially isolated in our community for some time as we are not from the area originally and not of the same ethnicity as the majority in the area. So, we haven't gone out for recreational purposes much in the past. We also work online/at home, so the impacts of social isolation have not been significant. We do travel a lot, however, so that has been the main obstacle: being unable to travel.
Positive - more time for family.
There really is no issue with coping. I have been working remotely for SNHU for over seven years now so working remotely is the same for me as always. We have a small farm out in the country so I can get plenty exercise while not being around other people. We have our own meat and vegetables so shopping is not a real problem either.
I have been writing for my doctoral program and revising manuscripts to submit for publication. In addition to that, I have been playing video games and doing some home projects The negatives that I have experienced is an increase in anxiety, remaining in the house and not being able to see/hug those who are dear to my heart.
I have been playing board games and a positive is spending more time with my family. A negative aspect is seeing my kids miss out on the end of their school year.
As an extrovert, it certainly is very trying. On the positive side, I have been writing more.
Coping well, I work remotely so the change is not drastic for me. I like that I am not out spending money, the fitness routine has been challenging.
I've been struggling. No real positive aspects. My mother died in February and so my father is all alone, so it's been difficult to spend time with him due to the restrictions.
s]Spending time with loved ones, playing more board and logic games have been positive. Going for walks outside has been positive. Occasionally, I've felt discouraged by the news and have lacked motivation to be as active as I was before Covid.
The positive is that I still have a job. The University leadership has been good about communicating. I also have a decent place to live. Technology is both a positive and negative factor; positive because you can see each other and have real-time interaction. Negative because a video conference is not the same as being in person. We were not made to be distant from each other. While I am doing an okay job managing, I think over the long-term, there will be a significant increase in mental health challenges. As one who lives alone, I crave in-person interactions.
I am an introvert so being alone feels like the norm. I am married so I am not totally isolated. A positive is I feel less pressured about turning down social engagement invitations. I have been able to focus on meaningful projects without feeling guilty for being a hermit. The negative is I do have family members and a couple of close friends that I do miss seeing.
some of the positives have been spending time on projects that I've wanted to work on and learning new hobbies. I've had a lot more time for myself. My family has been having fun together and getting to know one another in a new way, which I really appreciate. The negative for me is that I am seeing my options dwindling away slowly for things to do outside the home.
Face Time with family. Recently had a meet-up with our daughters & granddaughter (staying well distanced, etc.) 2 yr old granddaughter started to runner to give hugs and we had to stop her. She started crying as of course she doesn't understand. So this was much harder than simply not going to store whenever.
Connecting with people online. Positives are more time for things like house cleaning and organization, negatives are being unable to enjoy some usual hobbies.
I am an introvert and thrive in social isolation. Whenever I need human contact, I chat with family or friends. The positive aspects of social isolation is that I am free to do whatever I want with my time. I am accountable to no one. I come and go as I please without explanation. The negative side of social isolation is that at some point in the life we will need people to rely on for help. Without having an extensive network of people in my life, I am at a disadvantage. This is why it is important to exercise your networks once in a while. Even if it is not your preference. Otherwise, it may be at your peril if you do not.
Not well. Trying to increase exercise and maintain social contact through the Zoom tools etc.
I have been exercising in my basement and started indoor gardening. I still connect with people via phone and video.
Positive: Life has slowed down. The world has become more aware of viruses and washing their hands. My children (ages 5 and 2) are home and I get to see them. I don't worry as much about them getting sick from flus and stomach bugs because they aren't seeing anyone. Negative: Schedule change. Anxiety and fear about the current world and what is to come when we reopen society. Lack of time to do anything but work and raise kids-- my breaks are when I go to bed.
Positive - Reaching out to family members on a regular basis to ensure mental health. Supporting community by creation and delivery of meals. Negative - Bombarded with negative messages and at times, feeling overwhelmed about a situation which I cannot control. Saddened to see the number of deaths across the nation and the globe.
As an Introvert and a long-time remote employee, I've been doing well with the stay-at-home orders. During March, I had moments of increased anxiety as I considered how to handle upcoming travel plans. I also had increased anxiety due to fears of loved ones getting or dying of the virus. I feared getting it myself. As the weeks went on, I was able to handle the anxiety and fears better. Some positive aspects of my experience has been having my husband home and daily walks in the woods. I also appreciated how life slowed down and I didn't feel pressure to go out and socialize. I've also appreciated more time with my cats. I've been able to get some home organization done. I have enjoyed how work has become more focused on core and necessary projects. It has also been good to have all of School working remote for a greater appreciation of how remote work can be successful. For negative aspects, I've missed out on some vacations and time with extended family. There's been an increased amount of meetings as managers want to connect more. I still have fear that a loved one will get sick or die. It's also been hard not to have much to look forward to as I usually look forward to trips and adventures; there is so much uncertainty still and I don't know when "life" will resume. The struggling economy and layoffs have caused me anxiety too as I do fear losing my job.
Transitioning into socially isolation has been an interesting. I strive to focus on staying healthy, have developed and follow routines, have stayed connected in new and interesting ways (thank you face time) and overall work to limit news consumption. That has been helpful give the pervasiveness of negativity. Also I have revisited old hobbies, gotten back to drawing and reading and am learning a new language. On the negative side I think the biggest challenge has been not to continuously cook, bake and eat! LOL So many great tutorials are available you literally can make any meal and dessert you choose.
Negative experiences are generated from media. The constant conversation about COVID-19, chaotic federal leadership and talking heads creates a feeling of desperation and dispair. New startegy for me- no news except for reading the wall street journal or Barrons. Positive aspects- reconnection with old friends, supporting local restaurants, new way to secure food in my home, donating goods, services and money to those in greater need.
I continue working as normal. I get outside more and do chores. I also have taken time out to do DIY projects inside the house.
In my community, we are permitted to be outside the house, play tennis, golf, be on the water, and walk trails.
Positive experiences: spending more time with colleagues (virtually) than my normal workday would have allowed; developing an appreciation for what I have, rather than thinking that I need to go to the store to buy...; Negative impacts: going a bit stir crazy, needing to rethink how I accomplish my work remotely rather than in the office
We have been doing social distancing bike rides. Exercise is allowed and encouraged in our state. I am exercising more right now. Also cleaning more! And spending quality time with family.
Focusing on my health and faith. Improved on both counts. Negative is that I can't share these with others
I have really enjoyed having extra time with my family. My husband and college senior and junior in high school are all home.
i have been staying home. I only go out to go to the grocery store once a week and I go to a state park to run or bike on the weekends. i do work out in my home every morning which helps keep me sane and I text with my kids. I worry about some friends from another state and should contact them to see how they are doing - worrying about how badly others are affected and how long this social isolation is going to last is definitely the most negative aspect.
