Quarantine has changed us -- and it's not all bad [View all]

Here are 8 new habits people want to keep post-lockdown.

I asked Vox readers to tell me which specific changes they want to maintain as they emerge from quarantine and stumble their way to a new normal. More than 100 people responded across the globe, from the United States to the United Arab Emirates and from Portugal to Pakistan. Some broad trends leaped out in the responses. Below are the eight most common.

1) Reducing consumerism

2) Slowing down and putting less pressure on ourselves

3) Prioritizing family and friends

4) Ethical action and activism in our highly interconnected world

5) Exercising daily

6) Baking, vegetarian cooking, and growing herbs

7) Spending more time in nature

8) Working from home, if possible
