As the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic continues to rock the music industry, GRAMMY.com reached out to a few musicians to see how they were spending their days indoors. Today, singer/songwriter Ruston Kelly shares his Quarantine Diary. Ruston Kelly's new album Shape & Destroy drops on Aug. 28.

I get up relatively early and go for a run. I try and get 10,000 steps before breakfast because it helps with the claustrophobic depression, anxiety, lack of motivation and a general sense of social abandonment. Just go in for the kill the moment you wake up.

I then eat breakfast. Kind of boring. Healthy bland oatmeal but I get charged and then start writing or running through songs. I set up a mini-performance situation to at least feel somewhat close to an actual stage. 

Ok, I then eat lunch which is also boring. Then I drive aimlessly for a while listening to *very* heavy metal or Perfume Genius. I allow for some random activity to happen if there isn't any specific work to be done. I bought a house recently so I kind of shop for furniture.

I lament past mistakes but then try and make sense of why I did this or that and ultimately better myself because of it. I do not let obsessive or anxious thoughts last long. I'm working on that. 

I make food with a friend or alone which is less boring than breakfast and lunch and then I either read or play Nintendo with a friend before I listen to more Perfume Genius in bed and I go to sleep believing tomorrow will be better and the next day and the next.
