Quarantine is upon us. And this means most of INIFD Kothrud’s design squad is cooped up at home. But fret not, we have an overall routine that you can follow to keep life on track under quarantine.
This routine is just a general guide for you based on healthy goals. You can, of course, tweak it based on what works for you. Allowing a lot of flexibility with yourself & not pressuring yourself to complete everything is key. This routine is just to give you structure & a sense of control & stability.
So here is the routine:
Stretch.
Make your bed.
Wash your face and brush your teeth.
Take a shower.
Meditate for 10 minutes. You can use guided meditations available for free on YouTube.
Eat breakfast (bonus points if you make your own breakfast).
Read the newspaper.
Try not to check your phone or emails right away.
Begin by making a to-do list of work tasks. Try giving each task a 45-minute time slot.
Do your designated study or homework.
Attend your online lecture (if any).
Do the readings given by teachers.
Check and respond to emails.
Help whoever is in the kitchen in making the food.
Have lunch.
Try not to use your phone while eating.
Use this meal to catch up with family or roommates.
Make sure you’re checking off the tasks on your to-do lists.
Try finishing up any remaining work for the day.
Make sure all your study work is complete.

And that’s it. Remember to be kind to yourselves & remember that simply following this as a guideline is enough. You don’t need to be extremely hard on yourself about a routine. We’re all doing our best & that looks different for everyone.
These are challenging times so be easy on yourselves. Stay healthy and stay safe.
