• I put too much pressure on myself to be productive that it becomes paralysing and counterproductive.
• I am not in the best shape mentally at the moment due to the constant worry and keeping up with the news.

• Understand that as long as I am doing my part (Staying home as much as I can and keeping my distance etc.) I am actually doing something effective by preventing the spread of the disease.
• Come to terms with the fact that a clear "big picture" doesn't actually exist, especially right now. 
• Take it one day at a time. Just work on what's in front of me.
