8. My thought is that, at the very least, pick something you can do to help.

There are an awful lot of people who have essential jobs and they aren't expected to call off work. If nothing else, make a pledge to stop buying anything on Amazon. If you're on Facebook because you are part of a group or groups that democrats use to plan and organize and publicize then no one would fault you for keeping your Facebook account. I'm retired so have no work to call off from, but I did make a pledge to myself not to buy anything from Amazon and it's been almost two years now. I don't miss it one bit. I've never been on Twitter. I'm a minimalist and about the only shopping I do is for my weekly groceries. I try to do what's practical for my particular life situation. It's not an all or nothing proposition.
