I've been spending time working on our land. Cleaning brush/tree limbs, getting rid of rocks, prepping the ground for seed. I've also been prospecting for clients. The first items make me sore (but hopefully stronger). I find being outdoors to be very stress-relieving.

I am super busy running the businesses, all of them considered essential and all working overtime.

My wife is busy teaching kids from home, tough on the kids, and tougher on the teachers.  However it is very essential.

I think that you have to find things to do to keep your body & mind busy. 'Work' mode was the rut, then you sat home not knowing what to do. Find something to do as you'll feel better.

Some closets have received overdue attention, one room is getting painted and my hope is that the basement gets cleaned out.  The motivation tends to wax & wane for all of it and quite honestly, sometimes - not often tho - we just sit in a sea of unproductivity.

I have no wife, so no extra chores for me, haha.  I have rearranged 3 of the rooms in my home though, so that has to count for something.  With regard to cleaning, if your wife is looking for more to do, I would welcome her into my home, haha.  Anyone wanting to clean for me would be welcome!

Rickie,

The first couple of weeks were silent, I took time to experiment with couple of recipes. Now for the past 15 days or so have been busy non stop. I like it when it slows down a bit because it gives me time for the things I seldom get to do.

My garden looks great! lots of flowers and vegetables, editing a novel, handwrote many letters which I had forgotten how much I enjoy, calling older relatives who live East Coast, making meals for Mom which I drop off, still working full time at home but my commute from the ranch was an hour each way so saving time and money

Good going making the best use of your time to get everything ship shape. Never give up hope and dig deep for the second, third and keep counting wind to move things along. Clare Boothe Luce was right.

I watch my wife working hard around the house. I planted a 26X26 garden and it's pumping.  Little painting on the house. I been biking to the beach and enjoying a morning swim. I had to walk in with my windsurf gear but it was worth it.  I am also working, they keep saying the market is going to get going at some point.
