My Quarantine Watch List
Last week, I mentioned how I’ve been using online tv and movie streaming services as a resource for helping me cope with Social Distancing. We’ve got so much extra free time on our hands right now, and it can sometimes be tough to figure out how to fill it. Being productive is one thing, and if you are working from home, or spending your time learning new things online, good on you! However, if you’re taking this time to slow down a little and reevaluate, this watch list could be a useful distraction.
