A list of things to do during the quarantine

to keep sane and occupied! here are some ideas:

keep active:

  • take a walk
  • do yoga or pilates along to a youtube video
  • stretch
  • yard work if you have a yard
  • if you have potatoes in your house, you can easily plant new potato plants by cutting their eyes out.
  • deep clean your home
  • dance furiously around your house

relax:

  • start that show you were looking forward to! two shows i like that are available on amazon prime are good omens and fleabag.
  • google a list of the 500 most iconic movies and make a watch list of the ones that interest you
  • start reviewing the movies and shows you watch
  • make a reading list
  • read!
  • see if your library is connected to overdrive (it probably is). overdrive allows you to check out ebooks and audiobooks from your library.
  • try a readathon—read as much as you can in 24 hours
  • play a new game on steam or nintendo online. you can start a farming co op on stardew valley with your friends!
  • watch a livestream of the monterey aquarium!
  • check out my self care tag for more ideas

make something:

  • make a scrapbook with stuff around your house
  • cook a comfort food or dessert
  • cook something complicated or create a new recipe
  • make a stop motion video with stuff around your house
  • draw
  • paint with coffee
  • play an instrument
  • write a short story
  • write a poem
  • make an escape plan for the zombie apocalypse (for fun. this is not a real thing)
  • keep a journal
  • bullet journal
  • make random top ten lists (top ten songs by your favorite artist, top ten street foods, top ten movies influential in your life, etc)

learn something:

  • learn to read music
  • learn morse code
  • learn braille
  • practice duolingo
  • and much more! there’s an online class for everything

do something for others:

  • call your family and friends
  • register to volunteer at crisis textline. volunteers work remotely, so you can do everything at home. if you are selected you will complete a course to learn how to be a crisis counselor and then work as a crisis counselor
  • see if there is any way you can volunteer remotely
  • make nice cards to send your family and friends
  • research the best charities to donate to

general stuff to try:

  • establish a routine (exercise, mealtimes, work time)
  • keep in contact with friends and family through video calls
  • set goals
  • create events for yourself (for example, playing an online DND session with your friends every friday at 3pm)
  • i also made a list of things to do during break
  • check out my break tag for stuff to do when bored

please stay home!!!! while it might be difficult to do so and you may go a little stir crazy, there are things you can do to pass the time.

study tip: don‘t think about studying as something you need to do. that implies it’s some tedious process, something you can’t really enjoy, just another task ruining your day. rather, try to enjoy the process. think of yourself as someone who loves the subject, who loves studying for the sake of learning. you’re someone for whom studying comes easily, it’s just another good part of your day. if you change your identity and sense of self from someone who struggles with studying or with a particular task, it will be much easier to get done, as we always strive to stay consistent with who we think we are. think of yourself as a productive person, and it's much easier to act like a productive person would.

tune in thin the walls that separate you from yourself find that one question answer it if you can plan to spend your whole life telling not only the hardships you have endured but also the terror others have lived through because of you

reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)
