Has anyone here tested positive, finished their 5 day quarantine and travelled to the US? I am going to NY next week and just finished my quarantine period (after testing positive last week).

- Take an existing habit and add your new habit onto it

- Use chaos and stressful times to rethink practical decisions

- To break bad habits, add friction (eg phone & charger away at night)
