Nice article!
I agree that it's possible to use time to do something good, useful, worthwhile.
However, from tone of your article it seems to me like it's easy, and I don't think it is. For most of us, it's more or less stressful situation. It's natural (in my opinion) that it's harder to concentrate, to find a will to work, easy to fall into boredom, even depression. Also, some of the habits we build to help us be happier and more productive may be falling apart because they were weaved into our normal life order.
It's important to realize we cannot just "wait" until it's over (because it may take a really long time too), but it's also important to be okay with not being so productive as one normally is.
P.S.: Small typo there - I expect mediation should be meditation (however, for those living with other people in small space, mediation may be also new thing to try).

thanks for you comment, and for pointing out the typo. already fixed.
yes I know the situation is not easy. for some it's less difficult, for some other almost unbearable. and not being able to go out, meet in person with others, not having your routine anymore can lead to boredom, lack of motivation and as you said even depression.
but depression aside ( I perfectly know you can't go to a depressed person locked in his dark room and tell them "come on, go out ! it's sunny - at least try to be happy") I am really referring to all those ( and I can count many among my lifelong friends ) that were always complaining not having the time to do what they want, and now that they have it, they complain they don't know what to do.
and of course, motivation plays a big role here - my lazy side often tells me
why are you training pull-ups and push-ups if you can't go climbing anyway
and my discipline side immediately replies
exactly because I want to be fit and strong as soon as i can again!
I don't always listen to it, but at least I try :-)
