...people who say this:
"I don't really mind the lockdown! I've been getting things done around the house, and slowing down and really appreciating life."
Oh, shut up.
This is like saying, "The gulag really hasn't been so bad for me. The fresh air is great!"
Please.
Someone wanting to slow down or get things done around the house could have done that at any time. It's grotesque to take this unprecedented house arrest policy and implicitly shame people for not finding wonderful silver linings in it.
I think it's a terrible policy whose alleged good outcomes are assumed rather than proven, and its negative consequences are extremely far-reaching.
But at the same time:
As long as you're stuck inside, you may as well make the most of it.
For example:
One hour from now my recent podcast guest Rachel Rofe will take you step by step through how to make your first smacker online, with simple products you can use free tools to create.
Like a mug that says "Wicked Smaht," aimed at Bostonians.
The concept really is that simple.
Watch a step-by-step demonstration of how you go from idea --> product --> listed on Amazon, Etsy, and elsewhere --> sales.
As I mentioned yesterday, this webinar is so thorough that Rachel has had people make their first sale before her presentation even ended.
Now this is a good use of your house-arrest time.
Remember, this isn't some weirdo idea Rachel thought up ten minutes ago. Graduates of Knucklehead University already do this, day in and day out. If they can do it, you can.
But she knows everything there is to know about it, and you may not. So sign up to watch this, and instead of letting the time slip away, spend it on something that can give you a little security against the whims of our increasingly unpredictable ruling class:
