First Time Serving My Jury Duty in New York City (Manhattan): An Account of My Experience
once you get called, there is more random weeding out. at this point the whole process feels like a lottery that you don't especially want to win
NYC Jury Duty. What to expect? What to bring?
You should take a laptop or your phone. People camp out near the outlets and guard them jealously, though, so you might want to consider bringing one of these things, since every outlet will be occupied unless you get there first. Or go analog and bring a book.

- Write a letter. Is there a letter you’ve been meaning to send but just haven’t gotten around to? Pack stationary, cards, and your address book—even stamps so you can mail the letter on your way home so it doesn’t get lost. Keep in mind that in this day of email, people still appreciate receiving snail mail cards and letters.

“Did you know that every minute you walk can extend your life by 1.5 to 2 minutes?” -HealthLine
Walking is one of the best forms of exercise. Unfortunately it can be boring especially walking in your house.
Here's how I solve the home walking boredom problem
-I walk back and forth through the length of my apartment (very boring indeed!)
-As I walk I either play an audio book, listen to music or listen to a podcast.
What this does is shifts my minds focus from the repetitive boring visual landscape of my apartment to the excitement of listening to my favorite music, or focusing on a great audio story.

Connecting with Neighbors
Offers Help Map. The Help Map allows those in need to easily identify which neighbors have raised a hand to assist with an errand — or just give a call to check in.
Also Nextdoor Groups. Some of you may have used an early version of this tool to organize around shared interests like hiking or reading. We have officially launched Nextdoor Groups so neighbors can organize for those who may need assistance during this challenging time. In my neighborhood, we pulled together a group in the hopes of directing some kindness into our community as we feel the impact of social distancing
