I have joined many classes on Zoom this week and it was great to see all the smiling faces. We miss the students so much. I have also been seeing a lot of the assignments that students are completing! Keep up the great work Hoover. We have had over 88% of our Hoover Rockets turning in assignments!

MINDSET while working at home.
Staying home during the COVID-19 pandemic you might have low energy and feel less than productive. You might be grieving the loss of your normal routine and experiencing a lack of direction and motivation. This can make it challenging to maintain healthy habits or adhere to a daily schedule. You might be working remotely, helping your children with schoolwork, or creating a long to-do list of household projects – yet you might find it particularly difficult to stay productive and proactive.
As you struggle to accomplish tasks and address responsibilities, you might be frustrated that you are not doing things as efficiently or effectively as you think you “should.” It is normal to experience ebbs and flows in energy and productivity during such an unpredictable time.
Here are some suggestions to increase your motivation during this pandemic:
1. Stick to a routine. Establishing a routine during this time is one of the most important things you can do to stay motivated. Too much ‘downtime’ can be detrimental when times are uncertain, and sticking to a routine will help you maintain a sense of control. Wake up and go to sleep at consistent times, eat healthy meals, manage your work hours, and find time to relax.
2. Avoid electronics when first you wake up. You might normally check your phone, review email, or look at social media first thing in the morning. Instead, take a few moments to meditate or engage in physical activity upon waking. Focusing on your physical and mental health when you wake up positively impacts your mindset and enhances well-being.
3. Get dressed. It might be tempting to stay in pajamas all day but getting dressed allows you to create structure and stick to your schedule.
4. Take breaks. Make time for breaks. Throughout the day you will inevitably get bored or distracted, and it is a good idea to take breaks every 90 minutes to two hours if you are working from home. If you need to remind yourself to take breaks, set a timer.
5. Dedicated workspace. If you do not have a separate office space in your home, let your family members know when you are working on your computer or sitting at your desk and that you should not be disturbed. Even if you are not working from home, you will still need to set aside time to pay expenses, plan meals, and other household tasks. You might want to wear headphones to send a clear message that you do not want to be disturbed. Avoid lounging around on the couch or lying in bed with your laptop. The goal is to create a routine, and part of maintaining your motivation is to have a dedicated place and time for work. This also helps you mentally separate yourself from work at the end of the day.
6. Take turns. Keeping the kids entertained and following a routine can be like a second job. Balance is important. If you have a partner or other adult in your home, share household, child-, and pet-related responsibilities. While one adult works, the other does childcare, walks the dog, or mops the kitchen, for example.
7. Plan your day. Take just 5-10 minutes each morning (or the night before) to plan your day, and you will get significantly more out of each day.
