Corona Challenge

Since we're all on lockdown because of the coronavirus, our family has decided to make the most of all the extra time we have at home.

I wish I could say it was my idea, but to give credit where it's due it was my husband who came up with it. He calls it the "Corona Challenge."

The idea is simple - we've each come up with a goal that we want to achieve by the time the lockdown ends.

Our kids have a few Corona Challenges on the go - they're working on finishing specific levels in their piano training app, my older daughter is aiming to reach a certain level in her French app, and both the older kids are learning to code. The littlest one says her Corona Challenge is to reach level 100 in the Duolingo ABC app. I can work with that. :-)

As for me, I've got a whole bunch of Corona Challenges! For one, I'm continuing to work on minimalizing our home. Less time cleaning, tidying and organizing = more time doing things that matter most with the people who matter most: God, family, and friends. Another one of my challenges is to create, re-establish, and reinforce healthy habits when it comes to sleep, food, personal time with God, and the list goes on...

We're a few weeks in and the kids have risen to the occasion. It keeps them motivated, occupied, and working towards a goal. Hopefully, if and when life returns to normal, we'll all have something to show for having been shut in at home.

Are you doing something similar in your home? What's your Corona Challenge?
