For example, I have kept the habit of washing my hands with soap, first thing when I come home.
Working from Home is a must, and spending quality time with the loved ones.
Climbing the corporate ladder isn’t my priority now anymore. I am more interested in work that pays for my hobbies and spending time with my loved ones.
I would have spelled that, “pay for my fountain pens and ink, and let me talk to my wife while she’s conscious,” but we are on same page.
Got caught young and “encouraged” into a stupid amount of hours so the boss could go fuck off. Won’t make that mistake again. WFH or not, if you expect 60+ a week, you can kiss my ass.
Breaking with people who turn out completely insane.
Which actually might cover the entire human population. No, I mean the crazy Facebook uncle kind of insane. Life is so much more pleasant when you surround yourself with people who you love or at least tolerate.
Always wear a mask on transit. People are fucking disgusting lol.
The best part, is people wont sit near you if your wearing a mask because they think your sick.
What I find interesting is how many people will be on there clearly sick and not wearing a mask or trying to distance themselves from others. Just selfish people who don’t care who they infect.
Covering my cough or sneeze with my shirt collar.
Masking. Not really for hygiene reasons. As an introvert, it made me less shy. I feel naked going outside without one.
I do not still wear a mask, but I really loved having my face covered when I went places during covid. I just felt free. I don’t know why as I don’t have a problem going anywhere or doing anything normally, but covering my face felt good (except on 100 degree days in summer).
Same. I’m a socially anxious person, and it felt so much more private and comfortable for me to be masked.
I still mask when I’m sick or when traveling by plane tho.
I now have infinite patience with essential workers. When they get an order wrong, or they have a bad attitude, I let it go
I found it quite ironic how most of the essential workers get shit pay… Says a lot about our society I think.
They’re essential, but they’re also numerous. The barrier to entry for a lot of these jobs is “went to school for some time” - which means pretty much everyone is qualified.
Supply and demand.
Notice how when service staff were allowed back to work, a lot of them didn’t, and that drove up zone wages.
And to be clear - I am not advocating for below living wages, nor saying that people doing these jobs are unskilled. You can tell the good from the bad, and I think everyone should be paid at least a living wage.
Yeah I agree, I don’t think they should be the top earners. But a livable wage should be the minimum…
I got rid of all the snacks in my house, and have kept them out. I lost 25 pounds too. :)
I stopped chewing my fingernails. What a disgusting habit. Glad to be free of it.
Not sure if a good habbit or just paranoia at this point, but I’m more concious what I touch outside and bring desinfectant to use when I touched too many (or one too frequently touched) things.
Also mask up when therebisntoo many people insiand respiratoty diseases are going strong.
I am such a better cook than I would’ve been otherwise, due to necessity. But I also enjoy it, because usually what I will make is going to be far tastier (and healthier) than other options.
I started cooking, period. My wife used to cook, now I do. It’s weird, but the pandemic totally flipped our roles.
Avoid touching door handles as much as possible. The best defense is to just never come into contact with germs in the first place.
i use the bottom of my shirt as a doorknob mitten
I’m much more strict about not seeing people if I feel unwell even when it is likely something minor like a cold.
I learned what without hired help and a mother that got incapacitated, a house can turn into a sloppy mess real quick.
Learned to cook real meals, do laundry, and give the house a good vacuum and mop.
Went from a 105kg manchild to a 93kg still-a-manchild. Who knew that controlling your own food and regular physical activity would make a potbelly shrink.
It surprised me too how much my parents did as my parents got older and needed more support. Cleaning and cooking was only the tip of the iceberg. They did so many little things for everyone, I still don’t understand how they had the time to do that, raise kids, and work.

My wife bought a weight set a few years ago. I started using it during the lockdowns and have kept up with it ever since.
