Quarantine side-hustles: any of you doing them?
I reckon as long as I'm both unemployed and basically in stand-by mode until the economy restarts (who knows when that will be), I should try and get a little something going to try and earn a few Euro on the side.
Problem is, I'm fresh out of ideas.
Thoughts?

- What's your passion, make a related product. Like cooking? Hot sauces. Biking? Clothing. Dogs? Meat treats. Create a 'brand' and sell online.monoboy

My new routine is working from home M-F. I work for a fine art advisory in NYC. And there is every reason to believe that my company might shutter in the next month or two. So yes the virus is bad; but like many people it's only one of the threats.
I'm overweight because my workplace depresses the fuck out of me. I had been jockeying to jump ship but the arts, like many other opportunities has totally evaporated. And so I'm stuck at home stressing about being trapped in a job that might also evaporate. And the plague.
My routine has been the working at home thing M-F but the real routine has been trying to use this time to be healthier. No more vaping. Do a little yoga twice a day to help maintain anxiety, promote flexibility, and do damage control on a largely sedentary lifestyle.
I've always enjoyed cycling. The weather has improved enough that I can now ride about five days a week. And i'm ramping up on that as another way to promote cardio-pulminary; and weight loss. Plus the endorphins help keep the anxiety at bay.
My diet is largely meat and veg and home prepared. I've been keto in the past and not sure if i want to go that hard again. One of the upsides of keto is the anti-inflammatory properites. To that end, I am returning to intermittant fasting and trying to only feed within an 8 hour window. Only water outside of that to not trigger the metabolism. The idea that autophagy will benefit my immune system.
In a normal world I would have already been doing all of this stuff already. And I've done combinations of it in the past. Maybe the keto will come back. Hard to do that with a limited supply chain. Going to stick to a sort of Primal diet for the time being.
And enjoying the quiet. Gotta keep the tv down because it's too easy to go alphawave at the end of the day and hope it all goes away. Hopefully more music; more reading; and back to producing art.

- I'm in NY too. Biking is pretty much a lifesaver mentally.CyBrainX
- looks like laps of CP are about to get slighly more morbid.MrAbominable
- your overweight because you make excuses like your job. really spend less time on the blogs reading about weight loss and just doing shitdeathboy
- not to be a dick, but that shit isnt good for you and probably worse than a j o b. Run, walk, get a partime job throwing bags of concrete at home depot.deathboy
- but easy to say without finding your own motivation and incentive. try to set a realistic goal. something small. run a 10 minute mile. a particular hikedeathboy
- blah blah blah u read enough you know it all, except your excuse, change it.deathboy

Quarantine, for a tomorrow.As a number of us are trapped in stasis during the great 2020 cull, seemed like there might be need for a Corona-lite thread. More about the day-to-day QBNers rather than politics. stats. medical proclamations. politicized stats, etc.
I had been thinking about Nairn's check-in idea. #deathpool
