Being mindful of work-life balance has helped my relationship with my partner in a positive manner since we have been forced to live in close quarters due to the quarantine.  I have been able to be present in the moment and have nice conversations with them while eating breakfast.  This morning, banana waffles were made while listening to Jack Johnson.  I would have never guessed I'd write a sentence like that in my life.  But, it was nice and I'd be open to starting a Sunday banana waffle-Jack Johnson tradition.

This morning I had breakfast with my fiancé without the distractions of technology.  We relished at the moment and bonded with laughter as our dogs gassed us out of the dining room, ha!

Yesterday, I made sure to stop working at a particular time to reset my brain.  It helped because I was able to sleep better than I have in weeks!

This week I removed the following apps from my cell phone: Instagram, WhatsApp, and Slack.  I'm trying to create less distractions and it's worked because I'm not on my phone during meals or before bed now.

I didn't go shopping yesterday.  Technically, that counts, right?

I just started.  Let's see how this goes!
