What good/positive habits have you taken away from your time in Covid lockdown and kept up since then? (lemmy.world)

For example, I have kept the habit of washing my hands with soap, first thing when I come home.

I learned what without hired help and a mother that got incapacitated, a house can turn into a sloppy mess real quick.

Learned to cook real meals, do laundry, and give the house a good vacuum and mop.

Went from a 105kg manchild to a 93kg still-a-manchild. Who knew that controlling your own food and regular physical activity would make a potbelly shrink.

It surprised me too how much my parents did as my parents got older and needed more support. Cleaning and cooking was only the tip of the iceberg. They did so many little things for everyone, I still don't understand how they had the time to do that, raise kids, and work.
