Staying Motivated in COVID-19 Times
Let’s be honest, the past few weeks have been hectic, to say the least. Over the past two months, the world has managed to be completely stopped completely. The economy is seriously struggling, deaths are witnessed internationally, and we are observing something we may have only seen in movies before.
