How to create a new routineIt used to go something like this: Wake up, get ready, drop off kids, commute to work. Repeat. But now that our typical routine is disrupted, it’s suddenly more

challenging to maintain a sense of normalcy—and the healthy habits we’ve worked hard to achieve. The more we stick to a new routine, though, the easier

(and more automatic) it becomes. Having structure and consistency will help you create a new normal to balance *all the things.*

WHAT TO DO

Use the steps below to help add structure to your day.

March 22–28, 2020

Weekly

DECIDE WHAT’S IMPORTANT.

Make a list of what really matters to you. Maybe it’s daily work

responsibilities, keeping your

family happy (and occupied), or staying

on track with your goals to eat well, be

active, and take care of your mindset. Be sure to include both what you need and

want to do.

ADAPT ACTIVITIES. Was Thursday

night your go-to happy hour outing with friends? Don’t change that! Invite your buddies to a

FaceTime version—and virtually cheers.

Have an “I’ll do it someday” list? This

is a great time to tackle it. Start a daily meditation practice or clean out that hall

closet.

MAKE A PLAN.Once you know what

you want to do, create a schedule.

Start with tomorrow. Post it on your fridge or somewhere easy to see. Don’t forget

to be kind to yourself as you get used to

things—it takes time to settle into a new groove. And be sure to make any needed changes along the

way!

1

Nonstick spray 2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes,

peeled ¼ cup thinly sliced scallion 1 tbsp cornstarch ¾ tsp salt, plus more

for salting water ¼ tsp black pepper 2 tsp sriracha ¼ cup ketchup

1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough salted water to cover, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are just barely tender in center when pierced, about 12 minutes (don’t overcook). Drain and rinse under cold running water. Let cool.

2. Using the large holes of a box grater, shred potatoes. Transfer to a large bowl; add scallions. Sprinkle with corn-starch, salt, and pepper; toss until combined. In a small bowl, combine sriracha and ketchup; reserve for serving.

3. Measure out a rounded tbsp of potato mixture and form into a small log shape, about 11/2 inches long and 1 inch wide. Repeat with remaining potato mixture; arrange on a baking sheet in single layer.

4. Preheat air fryer to 360°F for 3 minutes. Lightly spray basket with nonstick spray. Add a single layer of tater tots. Spray with nonstick spray and air-fry 10 minutes. Turn tots over and spray with nonstick spray. Air-fry until crispy, 5 minutes more. Cover to keep warm (or pop into a 200°F oven). Air-fry remain-ing tots. Serve with ketchup.

SERVING SIZE: 8 tater tots and 1 tbsp ketchup
