Fantastic advice, Sam. Routine is what keeps me going too. Just keep swimming, is what I say to myself when I falter. Take care, and thank you for sharing your tips, Love Daisy xx

In reply to Susan Cunningham. Thanks Susan! And respect for homeschooling, that must be challenging in all sorts of ways. I totally agree, I think structure is a life saviour under these circumstances and gives a degree of much-needed normality. Look after yourself as well as the kids :) Sam x

Fab post as ever, Sam. I agree about the structure. With Easter break not quite done for the kids and homeschooling set to recommence Monday, I can honestly say I am looking forward to the structure again. I think they and we need it. And I need to take breaks. Sometimes we just need to be reminded of stuff we should know, so thanks. X

Thanks for taking the time to share your coping strategies. I agree that structure is important as it means we look to the future and keep going.

Great tips I’m finding that writing longhand is working for me, which I’ve not really done before – I’ve a lot of typing up to do, but it feels good to know I’ve got some words down. Good luck with your deadline x
