This article is well written.

Good points in this article. I took note of this one:

 

Quote

“I’ve kept almost the same routine that I had before the pandemic. I’ve replaced some of my normal activities with exercise, but I still get up at the same time in the morning. My routine takes my mind off of the pandemic and helps me to concentrate more on my family and friends.”

Well, I do everything in there, except the italicized part. That means resisting the temptation to sleep in! Oh, if only it was that easy for this sleepy body!

Get a cat. Mine wakes me up at 5:45 every morning.🤣

I feed my cat at night to avoid such morning nonsense!  😃

This was a fantastic article - we read it for family worship (along with a few other recent pieces of content from the site). We're going to go over this article again next week for FW and make an action plan with this article as our guide.

I have included information from the article in some of my letters.

We use to have a cat that would bang on our closed bedroom door, waking us up whenever it pleased,  I solved the issue by putting up a baby gate in front of the door blocking it from doing so!

I was looking at this article today. Was feeling a bit irritated over some of the attitudes and I couldn't quite place why the anger. This article helped me to put some of that into perspective and help me regain my balance.

By the looks of it I need to start a new topic called How to Beat Cat Fatigue!
 

(Okay okay, my wife's cat likes to "lightly touch the blinds" half to one hour before her feeding time at 7 AM. If this doesn't help, there's always the next step of coming to breath on my wife's nose. I am in the clear for the latter as I feed her at 7 PM. 😅)

 

(She's on a diet and will get food only twice a day.)

Yes I liked that point. I have tried to keep my routine as best as I can. I do ministry on the same days, I haven't succumbed to the temptation to take up overtime at work and I have the same rest days. Hopefully when everything goes back to relative normality it will be easier to slot back into my pioneer routine again.
