What are you doing to mark the passage of time?

[petra]

How do you recognize and respect the days as they pass, while you are in a holding pattern?

I have different social activities scheduled for almost every day. That helps me keep oriented to which day it is at any given time.

Six Sentence Sunday, which has been an ongoing, and now also calendar alerts set to remind me to post chapters of where the firelight fades on Mondays and Thursdays

I keep wanting to also do ao3commentoftheday's other six days of the week but that's hard and I don't know why

[petra]

That seems like a great way to mark the week!

I started bullet journaling again! And I have a paper journal that I write in several times a week.

I'm also thinking of taking up weekly habits, like going for a hike. I already watch some weekly shows.

Nice!

About the only way I do is that I know that Thursdays is my Japanese class - and I'm following a couple of twitter bots who tell me when it's Wednesday and Thursday!

[petra]

Good to have the bots, then.

I'm still working, and well, I need to know the day in order to work.

[petra]

Fair enough.

My wife likes to build tiny computers, and she made a quarantine clock. Right now, it says, Tuesday dusk-ish (1942 Pacific Daylight Time).

[petra]

Aw, that is lovely!

I keep a daily log for work, and have done for years (surprisingly often I find myself looking back through it), so I have a reasonable chance of knowing what the day is, and the date +/- one.

[petra]

That makes a lot of sense.

It turns out that it is going to be doubly useful - we have been Informed that there will be some kind of auditing of whether people were actually working their specified hours or not, once we get back to the office (and there has been the pre-return pre-announcement, if that makes sense?)
