I think it's great if people want to create stuff, but I also find there's a ton of emphasis on "go create things!" right now, and "great time to start a side hustle!" and people need to appreciate that we are in a pandemic. These are insanely stressful times - you're not just on a voluntary break from normal life. You're not a failure if you don't create something. You're not lazy if you don't create something. There's value in just relaxing and taking a break. Recharge. Take care of yourself. Sometimes that's hard enough. You don't have to be go-go-go / create-create-create. There's value in just: meditating, catching up on sleep, reading a book, watching a great TV show, just relax. Do whatever you can to take care of yourself.

Sure, if you're bored and want something to do, then creating something is a great option. But I've seen so much stupid shaming going around implying that authors are a failure if they don't use this time to make a big dent in their next book! Or you're lazy if you don't finally get that side hustle together while you have so much free time!
