This “Group of big 3 damages” highlights the real priorities among priorities.
- loss of private space (quiet hours) for reflective blogging and self care, but since late May I could go to MRT or bus interchange
- the #1 most critical situation — family conflict. Lockdown results in Loss of sanctuary. In the form of office or MRT (later the bus interchange), the sanctuary had become a critical resource I depend on, similar to my son’s dependency on electronic devices.
- A separate room did make a real difference, after grandparents left. Even though it is 10% as effective as office, this 10% is a Big Deal !
- bonding with boy — I had more frustrations, and more bursts of temper, until May.
- loss of opportunities to capture absorbency
power-surges. I rely on these power surges to compete.- work projects, localSys
- exercise, yoga
- — beyond g3, unranked
- diet and BMI loss of control
- sleep — my late hours often lead to poor sleep the next morning, with noisy kids.
- loss of exercise opportunities — absorbency, facilities, until I found the jogging tracks.
- no family outing, until we found the PCN at Lorong 8
- yoga
- standing desk usage
— Some of the unexpected triumphs:
- More positive perception of wife’s parenting practices
- I learned to accept my kids’ misbehavior — ignore, or become detached observer
- jogging
- repaired many things at home
- wrong-time temptation at home meal time
- intimacy with wife
