I know we all are tired of self-quarantine and are pretty much bored. Work from Home doesn’t excite us anymore now 😐 .

So here I am, sharing with you all things to do to make the most of this period:

  1. Reconnect with Old Friends 🤗: We all have our childhood friends with whom we haven’t stayed in a touch in a while. So it’s the right time to connect with all your friends, get into a video call and indulge in your childhood memories.
  2. Learn a new skill: This is the best time to take up an online course and start learning new skills, which will reflect in your resume/cv and help you in getting that dream job of yours. 👨‍🎓
  3. Cook Up 👨‍🍳: This is a perfect opportunity to get into cooking by putting staples to good use and testing and trying out more ambitious recipes. Have you tried making Dalgona coffee yet?
  4. Indoor Work-Out: Now, you don’t any excuses about the gym being too far or it’s raining outside. Try yoga + meditation and mix it up with some HIIT workouts.
  5. Spend an ample amount of time with family: This is the time to get pampered by your loved ones and spent some quality time with them.
  6. Read a book: Right now, you got enough time in your hands to start a new hobby and it’s my favorite, reading a book and getting lost in an imaginary world full of possibilities. My recommendations:
  • The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
  • How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.
  • In Search of lost time by Marcel Proust.
  • Ulysses by James Joyce.
  • The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
  • War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy.

7. Bingeing Netflix/Prime/Hotstar: It’s high time to watch all your shows/ movies which were there in your watchlist.
