It has been months since the New Corona Virus 2019 or also known as COVID – 19 had made the news. Since the outbreak, it has reached different countries across the globe, leading to thousands of confirmed cases and mortalities. One country to another is compelled to declare community quarantine or even lockdown for some. Under this situation, people are not allowed to roam around outside. The only people who are allowed to go out are the front-liners (medical practitioners and another skeletal workforce) as well as the representative per household who would go to the grocery or pharmacy to buy essential commodities.

Since people are supposed to stay at home four 14 days or even a month for some countries, they started looking for some things to do! Others would go for binge-watching their favorite series while the others are more into the reading of news and all other kinds of stuff online. But how can we make the most out of the quarantine season? What productive activities can we do? Well, if you are looking for something productive to do, this article is perfect for you.

Work-out Time

Putting the gym time or simply Zumba or jogging time during the ordinary days seems to be very difficult. We have a lot of other priorities. But now that we are inside our homes, we can now do it! Though we may not have the complete equipment like the treadmills, dumbbells, and all other equipment, it is still highly possible. Just turn on your internet and watch the free work-out classes and videos. Downloadable mobile applications are also very convenient and free to use. Don’t forget to do some stretching before you begin!

 Nourish Your Love for Reading

When was the last time you picked up a book and read? Perhaps, most of the people cannot even remember. This quarantine season, it is something that you can already do! Prepare a cup of coffee, sit on your favorite spot, and enjoy it while its hot while reading your favorite book. Enjoy your reading time and get lost in a completely different world within your book.

Take Advantage of the Free Online Classes

A lot of universities and organisations are offering free online courses! So, if you have been very interested in continuing professional growth or trying out something new that is entirely out of your league, the choice is up to you. For as long as you have internet connectivity and you are committed to accomplishing the online tasks provided by the course, you might be about to get your next certification.

Indoor Gardening

Use the spare space at the back part of your house and tend to your plants. Either these are flower plants or vegetable crops; you will, for sure, enjoy your sprinkling, cutting, and even dialogue moments with the plants. After the quarantine season, you will see the actual flowers or fruits of your labor. You can also involve the whole family in this gardening idea. You can ask the kids to color the pots and all other fun gardening tasks.

Indoor Picnic

It is ironic to hear that ordinary days do not allow us to go outside and enjoy the company of our family over a park picnic. Now that we are faced with the quarantine situation, we have all the time to do it indoors! It does not matter if there will be no overlooking pond, towering trees, or the fresh breathe of air. What matters is that you sit together as a family, play, share stories, and enjoy the overall indoor picnic vibes.

House Beautification

Time to remove all the unnecessary things you have in your house! Yes, it is the much-awaited decluttering time! This will even give your place a new look by redecorating it. Moving and transferring the furniture, removing old newspapers and magazines, cleaning the kitchen, and voila! Your home will look a lot better in just a matter of days. This could also a way of teaching your kids to be responsible for cleaning and redecorating their rooms or house space.

Online Gigs

There are local sites that offer part-time online gigs. If you want to earn while staying at home these quarantine times, this is the best time to do it. If you are good in writing, have the craft for designing, editing, or whatever particular skill you may have, capitalize on that skill and earn from it. Accept online gigs and earn some cash.

 Plan your Travel Adventure

Though things are still blurry as of the moment when it comes to traveling, there is no harm in planning. Scout for the next place that you would like to visit and do your research! Identify the areas that you could visit in there, the mode of transportation, great hotels to stay in, and all the tiny details. You can also look into the budgeting of your trip. The idea here is that once the quarantine season is lifted, you already have a clear plan in mind on which place you will fly next.

Set the Kitchen on Fire

To make it clear, this is figuratively speaking. You have to keep the kitchen busy during the quarantine season! If you are good at cooking, then it is time for you to once more shine in your craft. If you are not the good one when it comes to it, then there are always online video tutorials as well as recipes that could help you learn the craft. The thing is, you get to practice your cooking skills, prepare something sumptuous for the family, and you may also possibly bond with the husband or with the kids while preparing the food.

Travel through Movies

This quarantine season forced us to cancel our much-awaited travel dates with family and friends both domestic and abroad. What is worse is that even our summer goals are canceled! I know that this has been something that we all have been waiting for, and to have it canceled breaks pour hearts. But if we will look into it, it is way better to be safe than sorry. So, in what way can we travel without leaving the comfort of our homes? Well, the answer is through movies! There are a lot of films and documentaries online that allow us to go to places. So, get your bunch of popcorn, sit together in the sala, and enjoy traveling through watching.

Turn to Music 

Either you are good at singing, or you are into the playing of any musical instrument, this is the time for you to practice your skills. If you may also teach the kids, that will be a lot better. Who knows? You might begin to discover that your family could be a band when it comes to music. This family jamming will nourish the musical skills of all members of the family.

Come up with Artworks

May it be painting, drawing, cross-stitch, and all other art forms it may be, come up with it as a family! It does not have to be beautiful! For as long as you get to bond over an artwork, this is going to be a fun way to spend your precious moments with the family. After the quarantine time, you can put it on a frame and hang it somewhere in the house. Years after this time, you will be reminded of such a beautiful memory every time you look in the frame.

Now that you have this list, there is no reason for you to feel sad and bored. There are limitless productive things that you can do while at home with the rest of the family. Just remember that whatever it is, it should be something that will benefit you and your wellbeing in one way or another. Stay safe and healthy!
