Hi fellas!
How's your self quarantine days? Do you discover something new these days? Wherever you are, I hope that you are safe and healthy always! By the time I write this, we have been staying home for around two months. Since our activities are mainly done through our home, adjustments become inevitable. Somehow, we must set some corners in our home into a decent workplace or classroom. For the entrepreneurs, they create adjustments to their business plan and try to provide things that highly needed by customers in the time like this, such as hand sanitizers, masks and face shields that provided by some beauty and fashion brands.
Moreover, if we look through our social media account, we will not only see the updates regarding COVID-19, but also campaigns for staying productive in our home. The brands and influencers give us tips on how we should manage our time to get things done at home. I personally think that being productive in our home is beneficial. Besides doing our main job, we can dig into new hobbies and unlock our potential since we have plenty of time. However, we must know our limit and allow ourselves to rest when we feel exhausted. Remember, it's not a glow-up contest.
You know, at first, I had a list of things that I want to do. Also, I set my so-called "quarantine goals", meaning that I work on certain things and I hope I get the result after the self-quarantine period is done. I felt that I got a little spark, an energy to spend my days wisely. I did things like, exercising, cleaning every corner of my house, learning a new language. You name it. Although, there were times where I don't feel like doing anything besides laying down and scrolling my cellphone. But, most of the time, I could handle those feelings so that I could put myself to get my things done. However, these days, I feel confused, guilty, unmotivated, and angry. Then, my mind will full of thoughts like, "Why is it so hard for me to be focus when writing my thesis? Why can't I use the time carefully? Why is it hard to fulfill my to-do list despite the adequate time I have? I should've slept earlier, so I can wake up earlier and I will have enough time to do this and that." Does anyone feel the same way as I do?
Furthermore, in terms of clothing, since we do our job from home, our outfit choices might shifted from blazers and shirts into loungewear set and pajamas. Some of us might not putting on our makeup and doing our hair like our working days. Or, otherwise, we keep dressing up and putting on our makeup as if we want to go to the office.
By the way, do you know that putting on our makeup and dressing up once in a while can be useful to lift our mood? Besides improving our mood, they can be a way to overcome the unprecedented period. From some articles I've read, dressing up is able to make us feel good. If we feel good, then, it boosts our energy to finish our daily task. Besides setting our mood, dressing up can give us a sense of control. Also, we can do little experiment by trying the new style and be creative with our items. Another way to kill the time, right? To gain the inspiration, you can surf the Pinterest and type the style or outfit that you want to try. Don't forget to pin your findings on the board!
During this period, my go-to outfits are t-shirt, shorts, and pajamas, but, I occasionally put my shirt and jeans on. Also, I draw my eyebrow and put on my lip cream even though I only travel from bedroom to my working space. Honestly, I feel beautiful and empowered. Then, I will be able to finish, like two out of three things that listed in my to-do list.
Two weeks ago, I challenged myself to dress up more often so that I can create a lookbook from my outfits in a week. I got the ideas mostly from Pinterest and from my closet as well. Here are my "work from home" lookbook. Hopefully, it gives you ideas on what to wear when working from home!
