Tina Chan, reference services program manager and social sciences librarian at MIT Libraries, writes: “Staying at home during the COVID-19 pandemic has been challenging for many people. Like many, I practice social-distancing and wear a mask while outside, and I work from home since my library closed. I recognize I am privileged to work from home while others were laid off, furloughed, or had to work onsite. As unfortunate events (racial injustice, COVID-19 pandemic, economic decline, among others) impact us in different ways, the following are some self-care strategies for a healthy work–life balance.”
