We're living through an unprecedented time in modern history. Because of COVID-19, many states are strongly recommending—or even requiring—only essential businesses to stay open and for people to shelter in place and practice social distancing. 

This of course is crucial to slow the spread of the virus. But now, people's nerves are on edge. Plus the boredom. Oh, the boredom. I've been home with my family for a week, and I'm starting to sympathize with Jack Torrance. Heeeeere's Johnny!

Anyway...

As a property manager, it's great to want to boost morale around your community. Here are some suggestions of what to—and what not to—do.

Do embrace technology. It's hard, and inadvisable, to have in-person resident events now. But you can have them online! Use virtual meeting platforms such as Zoom to host a book club with your residents. You could also use Facebook Live or Instagram live to have workout demonstrations (that don't involve gym equipment). Or use them to have the residents show off some of their own talents!
