Us too! Compounded by DH unable to sleep, so very late starts every morning. I have so many jobs on the list, including 4 rooms to decorate.

Yes I do. Lockdown has made me spend far too much time on Gransnet, wasting time. This second lockdown especially. It’s because I’m bored and fed up, especially on a day like today when it’s miserable and wet. I’ve found I don’t want to go out for a daily walk because I walked the local area to death last time. I miss my family and friends. I miss the theatre and meals out. I miss holidays and travel. I miss going to the north (I live in the south) to see family and friends. I miss normal sad
If this is going to be the pattern for the rest of my life, I don’t think I want it.

I have noticed it can take me all morning to complete the household jobs I would normally get done in an hour before going out.

Like you travels,I felt I was on the slippery slope to total inertia.

I saw on another thread the suggestion of making a list of things to complete in a day and have found that most days this motivates me.

Being as the dark nights and colder weather now rolling in i find myself starting to get lazy. In the last LD i worked every day in the garden and also walked. Now i walk for an hour a day and after completing necessary chores, time is on my hands. I have things i could do but i can't be bothered. Before there was a sense of urgency to complete tasks as i had social activities to go to, family and friends to visit and meet up with. In the summer there was the nuturing of plants in the greenhouse and garden and even after evening meal the watering of both to be done. I find myself spending more time trawling on the internet or sitting watching tv and knitting. I dont like it, is this the slippery slope to complete inactivity!!!! I also find that y diet is also up the creek because i get up later i have breakfast later, dont want lunch and make do with a cuppa and some bics around 3ish. Rarely do i want an evening meal but have to cook for DH so make myself eat something. I feel the whole stucture of my daily life has disappeared.
