I’ve started to add a daily coping tip to the SQLServerCentral newsletter and to the Community Circle, which is helping me deal with the issues in the world. I’m adding my responses for each day here.

Today’s tip is to note the upsides during the lockdown, however small.

There are a number of upsides for me.

1. More time with my kids, who are in college or out.
2. I spend more time cooking, lower cost, building skills, family spends time together
3. I play guitar more, especially with less travel
4. Life is slower, and I can catch up on things I’d let go around the ranch.
