These are great tips! I actually work from home 8 hours a day so I find it hard to do other stuff during this quarantine. On my extra time, I either clean the house, watch movies, or do exercises.
I love these ideas so much! It’s such a struggle coming up with something new to do every day. Thanks for sharing!
I am enjoying this quarantine period and gives me reason to blog even more. I am also planning to upgrade our backyard garden and that will keeps me busy.
Netflix has been my saviour though this, although it’s annoying when it asks me if I’m still watching a show, of course I am!!
The first two weeks of this craziness was nothing but cleaning which got very boring very quickly. Being able to get back to yoga and reading have been amazing. I like this a lot, I really do need to take advantage of the classes.
So far, I journal, read a book, and clean my home. I’ve been meaning to learn a new language, listen to podcasts, and learn to properly meditate. Let’s see how this goes.
These are all great ways for people to keep busy. I’m finding I have even less time now to do things as I’m working from home and home schooling the kids. I am managing to do a little cleaning though.
It was perfect the first time. I learn so much from you as well! Keep it up great post.
