Fun Ways to Be More Productive at Home
Social distancing has now become our everyday life, and for most of us it is really hard to slow down after going 100 miles a minute. But this is the new norm (hopefully not for too long) and we need to figure out ways to not only keep ourselves entertained but hopefully do something productive.
So, we put together a list of things to do while quarantined that will hopefully not only engage your mind but bring some fun into these scary times.
Bring Out Your Art Supplies
For most people art is the hobby that is quickly pushed to the side as we enter adulthood but now is the perfect time to work that side of your brain and create something beautiful in the process. Whether it’s painting, coloring, sewing, knitting, etc. Set up a designated corner in your home (yes, we’re talking your cliché craft corner here people) and get out of your head and into some art!
Time to Try a New Recipe
Now that all of us have done the mad run to the grocery store to stock up on food we will need during our quarantined time at home, this is the perfect time to make some recipes you have been putting off like that decadent cake you haven’t had a reason to make? Or maybe throw your family a themed dinner? Maybe even head to Pinterest click on that recipe board you created years ago that you haven’t looked at since, close your eyes and point. Whatever you land on you have to make (baring you have the ingredients) The possibilities are endless, now go get your Martha Stewart on!
Dig into Some DIY
Remember that cool DIY shelf you bought the supplies for that you were going to put over your bed months ago? Or that paint can sitting in your basement meant to be used to give your baseboards a fresh touch up? Well there is no better time than the present to crack into those projects, and you may be surprised how quick they get done, sparking motivation to check off more DIY to dos.
Though these things may seem simple, they can also be easily forgotten as we get sucked into the stress and anxiety that is navigating this situation. So, try one or maybe all three of these things, come up with some new ideas and share with friends. It’s important to find joy in little everyday tasks!
