More than three billion people around the world have closed the home quarantine imposed in connection with the coronavirus pandemic. Due to the forced isolation, all plans were violated and the mood turned bad, and mass panic does not add enthusiasm. How to get distracted, not chandle up and not get bored in four walls for the period of self-isolation? You need to find advantages in quarantine and spend time with benefit for yourself and your family. I decided to share interesting ideas on what to do at home in quarantine, which will help to make life locked up with meaning.
Learn
During the quarantine period, many educational platforms have opened free online courses. Think about the systematization of what knowledge you have always run out of time. You can, for example, learn a new profession, pull up the English language or even study the new foreign language.
Do it yourself
There is an opinion that needlework calms, and breathing out, relaxing and distracted in the current situation does not hurt everyone. Weave the floor mat, master the patchwork technique, learn how to knit toys or embroider with beads, do quilling or origami. Materials for these classes can be found in any home, but you can dive into them with your head and not notice how quickly the quarantine flies.
Sing and dance
Many famous artists support their fans during the quarantine period and record online concerts that are published on social networks. Singer Yulia Sanina from THE HARDKISS, the famous Ukrainian singer Kishe, the star of the radio station Hit FM, the famous Ukrainian television, radio host and showman Denis Zhupnik, as well as many world stars and groups have already tested the virtual stage. Include their online performances, sing and dance!
Have a spring cleaning
Quarantine is an excellent period to put your house in order, which is always not enough time due to constant work. Sort out unnecessary things, wash furniture, disassemble cabinets with clothes - we are sure that you will find a lot of interesting things in them.
Make repairs
After the general cleaning, you can think about refreshing the interior. And it’s not necessary to arrange a grand repair. To update the situation, changing the scenery from available tools is enough, and the advice of designers on social networks will help to inspire ideas.
Try on all the clothes.
Devote your day to the wardrobe - try on all the current clothes and arrange a fashion show to the mirror. You may be able to compose a few new images from old things.
Cook something unusual
Restaurants and cafes are closed during the quarantine period, so it is time to show off your culinary talents and pamper your household with something original. Well, or just learn how to cook something that always seemed to you the pinnacle of culinary art worthy of Michelin stars.
Read
Many do not have enough time to read - home, family, work, study, and so on a daily basis. So devote a temporary imprisonment at home to simple and forgotten joys.
Travel
In connection with quarantine, most countries, including Ukraine, closed their borders and suspended air and rail connections. But this does not mean that travel is canceled. Today you can go on virtual trips with the help of online tours. Have you ever been to Paris catacombs or the Louvre? Everything is possible in quarantine!
Watch movies
Many services for the quarantine period have opened and made premium content free. New Hollywood or early classics, from which the news in cinemas have always distracted you from watching - choose what your soul is for, sit back and relax. Great activity for the whole family! Some prefer to watch XXX
Arrange a spa
All cosmetology centers are closed on the quarantine period, but this is not a reason to treat yourself to spa treatments. You can take a bath with foam by adding a couple of drops of your favorite aromatic oil to it, make face and hair masks, and arrange a bath for hands and feet. And then drink everything with perfect hot chocolate, savoring every sip. You must admit that you couldn’t afford such racist delights before quarantine any day!
Draw
A great way to relax is to draw, plunging into which you distract from all the few pleasant realities. No artistic talent? No problem! Paint anti-stress coloring books, thoughtfully filling all the smallest elements with color, or master watercolor painting in paintings by numbers.
Start writing a book
Focus on what makes you happy, and start writing. No matter what! Such an activity is useful for brain cells and memory, and it will not let you get bored.
Create an inspirational calendar
The coronavirus pandemic will end sooner or later, so why not dream and come up with how to make your dreams come true. Make a plan for visualizing your Wishlist and draw them on a piece of paper. Draw not tasks, but a process, an event, as if taking a snapshot of what is happening, supplement the drawings with clippings from old magazines, and in the end place the calendar in the most prominent place in the house.
Chat with friends online
Now is the time to write or call an old friend, or maybe even have an online party, gathering childhood friends in one chat. During the quarantine period it will be easier to choose a time convenient for everyone for group communication, but for some it may be extremely necessary.
Train
In order not to grow into a sofa or chair during quarantine, you can accustom yourself to daily exercise. Jump, squat, swing the press - only 7 minutes of physical activity will help you live a longer and healthier life. The quarantine will someday end, but such a useful habit will remain.
Audit on laptop and phone
Your gadget and laptop probably have tons of old folders, files, and applications that you no longer need. On weekdays, there is not enough time to clean them up, and on quarantine you can devote to the disposal of this dump at least a whole day.
Play
Quarantine is a great reason to spend more time with children. Have a board game tournament with your little ones that no one has touched for a long time. Tables will be a salvation for those when the ideas of what to do in quarantine for children and adults have already run out. And most importantly, during quarantine, set yourself small goals, make a plan for the day - bring in it not only work tasks (for those who switched to remote work), but also household chores, and even entertainment. Then in the morning there will be no sensation of an endless empty day ahead, and in the evening - worthlessly spent time and life passing by.
