A Lockdown Story
By: Shotonwa Abdul Waheed
Unlike many, I had a view of how the lockdown would be. Perhaps because I had observed how it was in other countries.
Exercising the stay at home order from the state government makes it clear that all resources would be put in place for it to take effect.
As a little boy, I have always seen opportunity in every situation whether favourable or otherwise. Reality made it obvious that the lockdown is real and there is need for adjustments. I quickly buckled up my shoes, thought twice and took some key decisions presently reshaping my world.
My multitasking nature contributed immensely to my goals, as assignments kept coming in since it’s a switch to work from home.
Though, it’s not always about money, some of my key achievements during the lockdown includes: self discovery and development, life reshaping, apt and rapt decision making, goal achievements, and most importantly, sound mind and body.
In summary, it was simply a lockdown for work down.
A Note From Eden: Dear Waheed,

A lockdown for work down indeed!!!
Ah! If I did half the things you did during the lockdown, I would definitely not have been the same.
It’s never too late to start from somewhere. It’s just to discover what you want then do what will take you to your destination.
The lockdown should just be a means to your end. ❤️❤️❤️
Insightful!!
With this kind of mindset immune to set backs, the money will follow soon. Brilliant!
The lockdown was no surprise to me too. I was even surprised when it was delayed. I had everything planned out on how I would stay productive, regardless of the restrictions. And this helped a great deal. I guess your story was closely related to mine. Awesome!
A lockdown for work down. I like the sound of that.
Truth. Well said
