To Do List MCO 2.0

This is not the first time I had to work from home. This is the 2nd full lockdown in Malaysia yet I am having a hard time adjusting. Its not like I'm not used to just having a downtime, but somehow i feel like i'm struggling.

Perhaps a to-do list can inspire me to be more productive

1. Spend less money shopping online
The first lockdown was bearable because we have moratorium in place. I get to save some money and shop for a lot of stuff which i dont really need. Now that there are no incentive of being in lockdown this time around, I need to -frugal like super frugal. Its not like I dont have savings, I feel a bit apprehensive of the current economic condition. So, lets not waste money on things that we dont need

2. Lose more weight
Both of us loss quite a bit of weight before our anniversary weekend last year [which i forgot to update in this blog]. We were thrilled but we did a lot of eating during our anniversary break and now it feels a bit hard to get back on track. We've been craving sweet stuff and junk food and I've been too lazy to get my fat ass on the treadmill. Let's get back on track shall we? Let's try to hit the home gym everyday after asar for at least 1 hour.

3. Clean/tidy up a corner a week
I dream of decorating my house. I feel like I dont have the talent or the eye to redecorate but i can clean. I dont like cleaning but I can do it. I nook per week is not that hard (kan? but it is hard if you dont really enjoy it). Maybe I can do it every Saturday? I really really need to clean my kitchen and I 've been putting off for awhile. Now I have all these time on my hand and zero excuses to keep putting off. Several corners I that requires my attentions are:
- my wet kitchen
- my closet
- the store

4. Quran reading
Ramadhan will be around the corner soon so I want to get a head start so at least I could really try and finish reading the whole Quran this year, Read at least page after each prayer.

2020 taught me to be grateful for every single thing that happen and to not take anything for granted, I hope that I do not forget those lessons. Although currently I am feeling apprehensive, worried etc, I should be focusing on the positive, on being happy with whatever I have, my health, my family, my work.
