Author and organization expert Marie Kondo recently launched an online course to teach people how to declutter while in a pandemic lockdown. The author is best known for her book, 'The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up,' and has usually stuck to discarding excess material junk. However, Business Insider reports Kondo is making a foray into personal finance. To tidy up your finances, first think about how you want to spend your money so that it supports your ideal lifestyle. Then, write down your current expenses. How does your spending line up with your vision for your ideal future? Kondo says that having such a clear vision for the future — and a realistic grasp of the current situation — will help you to make sensible, confident decisions.
Comparing April 2019 to 2020, research published in The Lancet says the prevalence of 'clinically significant' levels of mental distress has risen from 18.9% to 27.3%. According to HuffPost, increases were greatest among 18- to 34-year-olds, women, and people living with young children. To preserve and protect your mental health, start by rethinking your social circles. Avoid critics, naysayers, pot-stirrers, and anyone else who brings you down. Reach out to friends and loved ones who truly lift you up. If you can't stand one more Zoom call, send a card. Stay active in mind and body. Exercise, learn something new, set goals, and structure your day so you have a sense of accomplishment. Finally, try to be grateful for your blessings. And at the same time, don't be afraid to reach out for help from professionals.

It is contact with people that we need.
