I was supposed to be graduating in a month from now and traveling across the globe for the amazing fellowships that I was selected for. So stress levels right now could not get any higher! However, self-preservation is the key right now. Every day I tell myself to be grateful for my family, the resources I have access to and ensure that I pray as much as possible. Oh yes, social media is a wonderful tool. May it be watching a show on Netflix, doing pointless Instagram challenges, or reconnecting with old friends via Facebook. Most importantly, spending time with those around and constantly encouraging and motivating my dear ones on the computer science degree jobs of this crisis.
Compartmentalize and aim only for what is reasonable. Although one may have all kinds of resources available, if your productivity is not 200%, don’t beat yourself up about it. I prefer making a checklist every day before I begin and only do what I can, with my best efforts. Breaking down any given task into small fractions and target only what is possible. Try to have an organized approach, remember to seek help and give yourself a big pat on the back when you achieve something!
Mails and WhatsApp, mainly. I am so grateful to have built a network of some lovely women across the continents through SWE. Chiming in with Hello’s, Howdy’s and some memes as well.
