Episode STP060 - With the whole coronavirus and lock-down thing going on, we wondered how we can help. It turns out there are three areas we know about that could be useful to you. How we do the 'home' thing, deal with change, and learn new things.

Look at all this stuff we covered:

• We chatted at the table and talked about
• Working from home - this is what can help:
• Set aside a dedicated area
• Plan your day with a structure
• Agree boundaries with the family
• Set a definite end time to the day
• Wear something different
• Doing 'Not-Work' from home:
• Set a schedule anyway - avoid the Netflix trap!
• Take baby steps
• Exercise
• Have a look at some online courses
• Be kind to others and yourself
• Change
• The change curve from Elizabeth Kübler-Ross
• The difference between a change and the emotion it brings
• 5 stages of change
• Denial and shock
• Anger
• Bargaining
• Depression
• Acceptance and integration
• What all this has to do with toilet paper
• Some practical steps you can take
• Identify the positives
• Think about change that you've experienced before
• Talk it out with someone
• Consider the worst that could happen
• Focus on what you CAN control
• Protect your well-being
