Make your Quarantine Productive by Adding these Simple Things to Your Routine

With a lockdown imposed across the capital, staying at home and doing interesting activities is a great way to make the most of these days. In our fast pacing lives, this isolation has brought a standstill. Even though this isolation is for our benefit, we do get clueless and lethargic because we have no idea how to spend our entire day. Then how do you keep yourself entertained in a self-quarantine? Here are some tips on how you can maximize your home quarantine and do something other than just watching Netflix and dozing off.

• With the spread of this disease, it is suggested not to eat outside and stick to home-cooked meals. Now, bake that delicious blueberry cake that you have been craving for and lookout for new and authentic recipes on YouTube.
• Talking to your old friends and loved ones is going to brighten up your mood. It will take off the stress and workload from your mind and make you feel better and happy.
• Refrain from reading the news every now then. This becomes extremely crucial because the news that is being catered to us is depressing. It tends to make people more anxious and restless.
• Pick out the novels that you always planned on reading but never got the chance to. It’s better than binge-watching your favorite shows.
• Play board games or design your own personalized board game. Take out that carrom board that has been lying in a corner of the house.
• Sit down for meals and eat them with your family. This is an ideal time to catch up with your family. Cook and eat together and establish a positive environment in the house.
• Take up online courses. Several organizations are giving free access to their reading material during this quarantine period. Read those articles or search for online courses that are taking place.
• Reduce your social media hours and use that time to practice yoga or meditation. In our busy schedule, we would never have time to meditate. Practice doing meditation for 30 minutes every day to relax your body, brain, and muscles.
• Grow some plants in your house and take care of them. This is a very common de-stressing activity and an effective relaxation method.
