Just over a year ago, EVPL – along with most of the rest of the country – went into lockdown. What most of us thought of as a “normal day” was a thing of the past, at least for a while. Even when people began going back to work, far more time was spent at home during off-hours. It felt strange, and finding a new rhythm took some effort. As we did this, a great many of us got creative with our time and began brushing off hobbies that had gathered dust in the course of previously busier days and weeks.
Recently, three questions were put to the staff of EVPL to see what they had spent time on during the last year.
We received some great responses, which broke down into a few main categories.
And there were a variety of other things like learning sign language and Spanish, taking a robotics course, and learning to make kombucha.
While this may all sound terribly productive, keep in mind these are the highlights from this time, as we all found ways to adapt and anchor ourselves in a very different and difficult year. Along with the productive days, there was also plenty of binge-watching of YouTube and watching comfort TV and movies.
How did you spend your time? If you have any hobbies or activities you would like to share, please go to our EVPL Facebook page and add a comment. We’d love to hear how you’ve spent your time.
