As the craziness of the coronavirus leaves us feeling hopeless and bored out of our minds, we are often feeling pretty lost and hopeless not knowing what to do with our days. Here are five things to do while you’re quarantined at home.
1. Organize your room
Clean out your drawers for the summer and figure out what you want to sell, donate or keep. Make a list of items you will need for the summer and shop online for things you may need. After your closet, move to your desk and organize everything in the drawers. Clear out stuff from under your bed and shelves and redecorate.
2. Plan out your summer
Although flights and travel may be an issue now, let’s hope that everything will go back to normal by summertime! Figure out your beach vacations with people, research jobs you may want to apply for and create your own summer bucket list. It is a perfect time to sit back and get excited for what’s ahead, even if things right now are a bit lifeless.
3. Catch up on books and movies
This is a perfect time to list out all of the books you have been meaning to read and knock them out. Curl up with your puppy and read all day in your favorite spot in the house. Create your movie list and watch one movie per day with your family. Then you decide which ones were your favorites. This is a great time to catch up on everything pop culture.
4. Spend time with family
Take this time to really connect with your family and bond. We have the rest of our lives to be on our own, and family is always important. Play board games, catch them up on your life, learn about their past and just have fun with them!
5. Pick up a new hobby
We have all the time in the world right now to pick up that hobby we’ve been thinking about. Learn new recipes, try crafting something amazing, write a story, play basketball outside, learn how to sew clothing. Anything that is on your mind, try it! If you end up not liking it, try something else.
