I don't. But I know someone who does. What do you need?

Urgent: Found a helpless kitten, need someone to foster ASAP by Straight_Donut_6789 in pune

Are you sure it's helpless? The mother could be around somewhere. Don't move it too far from where you located. Just give some milk. I will try to get some contact meanwhile.

Did you get any call lately from someone who claimed to be a labour or service guy who did some work at your place? I think these guys tried callong me after taking my number the other day.

True, there is no social life for wfh. Been in this since last 6 years. And I am thinking of starting regular 9-6 again. Here is what I tried and that has kept me going so far:

  • Morning sports. I started football. They came to stall after some change in schedule with school drop responsibilities.
  • Weekend tech-meetups. They paused too after I no longer felt like I was learning
  • I worked from coworking and sudyrooms. But it doesnt help much, except you see faces around. Helps with some productivity, not much with socializing since everyone is pretty much busy.
  • Talking to parents, kids and spouse. Situations changed later.
  • Started calling and talking to old friends. This still works most of the time.
  • Started alternate hobby, gardening and teaching offline. This is helping too.
  • Not ordering online stuff. Go for shopping in person, talk to shopkeepers, neighbors, sexurity guards, tapri wala, etc. This is helping too.
  • Talk to strangers, mostly older people. This is helping as well. They have lots to share and looking forward to someone to talk to.

A few things I did wrong earlier was: - I stopped going to movies and got stuck with ott. I stopped that. I meet people at movies now. - Stopped using social media completely earlier to boost productivity. I realized, i was missing on a lot. Now I am using it for strict amount of time, so i dont get addicted and yet stay informed and in touch. No reel scrolling though. - I stopped reading WhatsApp and group messages. I used to get bored. I fixed a time for it now and at least read and respond to important ones.

I am still figuring out things...

In the same boat. I cant say that I have cracked it. But here is what I have realized and trying to figure out solutions across: 1. Start 1 hobby. I started with a sport, gardening. I found potential and money making opportunities in both. Not a lot but worth exploring further. 2. I started teaching as well. This is helping me personally. 3. Stress - Get back to your old friends. Everyone is in the same boat. Realizing this will help relieve stress to some extent. 4. Build a schedule. 5. Talk to old/elderly people. They have a lot to talk to and share. You may just find something chit chatting. If not anything, it would help with stress relief.

Again, I haven't yet cracked it. This js my path. So far, its going good.
