Chris Hadfield's 4 tips on how to handle self-isolation
Spending months at a time hurtling through space in a high-tech metal tube teaches you a few things about keeping your spirits up.
As millions of Canadians try to adjust to the realities of government-mandated self-isolation, there's one Canadian who can claim to be the ultimate expert.
Retired astronaut Chris Hadfield, the first Canadian to walk in space and the first to command the International Space Station, has endured months-long stretches of being confined to a closed metal tube with only a few other people, and staying there as long as the government says so.
Despite definitely not having the option to take a walk around the block, Hadfield's tenures in space, like all astronauts', were still highly productive, involving precision work with little in the way of breaks.
Naturally, astronauts have come up with ways to not only cope, but thrive, in that kind of extremely dangerous work environment, and Hadfield put together a few tips on YouTube for people now having to face weeks or months of being shut up inside. Watch them above.
