Tips from your favorite lawyer to actually better your life during the COVID-19 pandemic. While we are still working hard, as what we do for you is essential, these 23 tips will hopefully help out those at home:
LEGAL AND INSURANCE TIPS:
- Verify you have as much Uninsured/Underinsured Motorists (UM) coverage on your auto policy as you can possibly afford (at least $100,000 per person). Lots of uninsured drivers will be out and about soon. You need to insure them through your policy to protect your family—and not all agents understand this.
- Video your possessions and save it to the cloud. That way if your house burns, you can fill out your claim forms in a hotel room by watching the video.
- Check your house for hazards- loose handrails, uneven steps, outdoor lights, and make your address obvious for first responders.
- Check your home-owners policy: do you have special coverage for guns, antiques, collections, cash and/or jewelry? If not, you’ll be disappointed if you have a loss.
- Consider an umbrella insurance policy for major losses. It’s cheaper than you would think.
HOME TIPS:
- Declutter: Start with one project per day. A great 30 day plan is found at http://www.oprah.com/home/the-30-day-home-decluttering-detox-plan_1#ixzz6JQG2M2dh
- Redo your spice rack or cabinet.
- Get lids and storage containers together and chunk any outliers.
- Clean out your email; unsubscribe from junk emails, texts, update contacts and update all your software and programs.
- Shine shoes and treat any leather that needs it anywhere.
- Clean all your guns and organize your ammunition.
- Floor your attic space and/or build shelves in the garage or workroom.
- Organize and label old photos (after you, will they even be identifiable?)
- Work on your dreaded taxes.
- Write cards or emails to people that you appreciate (even if they aren’t your lawyer).
SKILLS:
- Bake something wonderful and/or try a new recipe for dinner.
- Try to pick up a bit of another language or brush up on one.
- Try your hand at calligraphy, painting, drawing, poetry, an adult coloring book, or photography.
- Try a craft with your family and build a big puzzle.
- Update your resume or professional portfolio.
- Try to do a new physical skill (dance, 10 push-ups, 5 pull ups, plank).
- Learn to sew masks, buttons, or knit or crochet.
- If you have a pet, teach them some new tricks.
