I have more ideas than the amount of the time I have, for both research and creation, and ended up spending time to figure out what to do.

Good charts
This is an excellent practical guide to information visualization, with three main parts: a theoretical background including a brief history, perceptual mechanisms, and types of visualizations; a workflow part of chart design and prototype; and finally how to present and read charts. The book concludes with the observation of upcoming interactive visualizations enabled by computer programs beyond traditional static charts for print mediums.
In addition to the technical content, the book has beautiful layout and examples, with pointers for further readings.

Remote working
Since I do not really have the notion of “work” days, I am already well set-up for remote work when the lockdown started.
