No one could have predicted how this pandemic would dramatically change all of our lives. We adjusted to lives of social distancing and hand sanitizing. Now, almost a year in, there is light at the end of the tunnel. We need to allow ourselves to think about change and start preparing for what is to come:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
    Prepare Now<\/span><\/h5>\n

    Start thinking through the various scenarios ahead; for example: if you might be working from home forever now, what does that mean?<\/li>\n

  2. \n
    Embrace the Unknown<\/span><\/h5>\n

    Don\u2019t underestimate the overwhelming emotions associated with feeling a lack of control. How will you purposefully manage stress and get yourself in to a place where you can confidently say \u201cI\u2019ve got this?\u201d<\/li>\n

  3. \n
    Set Realistic Expectations<\/span><\/h5>\n

    Understand the ebb of flow associated with not knowing exactly what is coming or what to expect. You can\u2019t plan for or control everything \u2013 cut yourself some slack and be realistic about getting some planning right and some not so right.<\/li>\n

  4. \n
    \u00a0<\/span>Establish Timeframes
    \n<\/span><\/h5>\n

    Think forward to a certain date and sketch out what you might need to accomplish between now and then.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
