If you're experiencing "quarantine fatigue", a.k.a. Covid burnout, know that you're not alone. Be kind to yourself and relax your expectations of yourself. #doinginstead @RobinMazumder @CAOT_ACE ctvnews.ca/lifestyle/covid-1…

Wondering about time use (#OccupationalDiet) patterns that promote well-being? Check out the suggestions offered by the @DoLiveWell1 Framework! dolivewell.ca/#sthash.JycCNT… #doinginstead

This study from the US Department of Labour in 2008 looked at the average employed American's daily time use (occupational diet). Think about your typical pre-Covid diet and your diet now. What's missing? What's new? What's better, and what's worse? #doinginstead @CTURandMTUS

When it comes to #doinginstead, it's not as simple as it sounds. If we think of the combination of things we do as our daily #occupationaldiet, our dietary needs are now difficult to meet. This week we will look at #timeuse and how it meets our occupational dietary needs.
