Lost my business to Covid | One year of not working from home
Last year I lost my business to Covid. Without going into the sob story, here are my experiences in the last 12 months, some lessons learnt and how to keep your motivation up. No fluff and getting straight to the point.
Nothing saves like savings - I had enough to tide me over this period. My savings were not a result of astronomical salaries or miserly living but prudent and periodic investments, sans any major misadventures. It was also easier that we have been a DINK family for quite some time, though we became a SINK family during lockdown (pun intended), with my wife holding fort. Note that I am not advocating any preference for a family structure.
The dollar fell to its lowest in more than two months on Friday after U.S. jobs data for April came in well below expectations, putting a damper on hopes that a roaring economic recovery would spur higher rates and light a fire under the greenback.

After scoring 97 during the second day of the 2nd Test against Zimbabwe, Pakistani bowler Nauman Ali says that he had worked a lot on his batting during the South Africa series.
Speaking to the Pakistani cricket s media team, Nauman Ali said that his teammate Abid Ali, with whom he maintained a strong, 169-run partnership to put Pakistan in a dominating position, helped him a lot during the game. I am thankful to God that he helped me achieve 97, which was also the highest score of my first-class cricket experience, said Nauman. When I went to the crease, Abid was the one to encourage me and told me to play calmly. He also pointed out my mistakes and helped me stay on the ground longer.
