The pandemic has had the same effect on me! For the past two years it feels like I’ve been wallowing in a constant state of idleness! I took three online courses just to take comfort in the thought of doing something useful during my “incarceration”. I didn’t get much wiser, but I met new people through the e-campus which was a nice change.
Short trips also do the trick. I know traveling can be an arduous ordeal for many of us, but it’s worth the effort once in a while.
