To start her day in the Dolly Parton-backed video, the Hollywood veteran hopped out of bed with her little white dog.
Then Jane – who starred in the 9 To 5 film opposite Parton – fixed herself a cup of hot coffee in a very special mug bearing her own 1970 mug shot.
‘Mug shot makes a good mug shot,’ Jane winked while bundled up in a hoodie and sweats.
It was time for exercises next, so the star did some wall squats she said she did while in jail.
Work hard, play hard: After a long day of work, Jane relaxed with a supersized martini

Jane read the newspaper, noticing ‘Wow, climate is a s***show! Let’s get to work!’
It was time for business so the movie star settled down at her computer for a Zoom meeting with Greenpeace and the Fire Drill Fridays team.
She gave it a quarantine twist though, keeping a very full martini on hand.
‘Teamwork makes the dream work,’ Jane wrote while showing all the people collaborating.

Time for action! Jane read the newspaper, noticing ‘Wow, climate is a s***show! Let’s get to work!’
By 5:01, it looked like Fonda had exhausted herself, seen napping on her computer with an empty glass besides her.
‘Work hard, play hard,’ she explained before zooming in on her computer screen which displayed the slogan: ‘Our house is on fire. Join us in the streets.’
‘Lots of amazing young people working beyond 9-5 to save the climate. I joined them & so can you!’ Jane captioned the TikTok, also tagging ‘#earthday,’ ‘#9to5,’ and ‘#FireDrillFriday.’
Jane is continuing to hold her Fire Drill Friday protests online during the ongoing pandemic, which she called a ‘teachable moment.’

‘Now this pandemic is causing terrible suffering and changing what we can do in this time of social distancing,’ she wrote in a recent issue of People.
‘But it’s also an important teachable moment for the other pandemic that confronts us: the climate crisis.’
‘COVID-19 is teaching us how dangerous denial is and how important science and preparedness is. It’s also proving that we are able to take massive collective action when the stakes are high.
‘Clearly we are capable of fundamentally changing our behavior to protect the health and safety of our families. We’re also seeing how nature can heal when we take action.”
