Isolation productivity

I just commented to DH how having to spend more time indoors has actually had one small benefit...we're finally getting around to all the little 'we'll do that later' jobs. Thought it might be nice to have a thread where we could share the little productive moments, just trying to find some positivity in these strange times

So far this week we have:
Mowed the lawn and sorted the shed
I've deep cleaned the kitchen, even the cupboard tops!
DD has tidied her 'craft cupboard' and thrown out a load of dried up markers and glue sticks

I'm in the middle of deep cleaning the kitchen.
I've read more and I'm starting to relax a little.

I've washed the front windows inside and out and cleaned the frames. I'm still working though so my household productivity will come in dribs and drabs.

Cleaning the windows is a good one, maybe I'll make that the task for tomorrow...

Today I have:

Weeded the garden
Planted onion sets instead of flowers in the patio plant pots
Baked bread
Excersised with Joe Wickes (absolote killer)

So far in isolation we have played board games, spring cleaned, eaten together at the table (never do this aside from Christmas), knitted.

Things I’ve stopped doing:
Wearing make up
Asking the kids about their homework
Stressing about booking a holiday (never find holidays relaxing)
Watching stressful tv programmes, nothing miserable from now on!
