As of March 21st, this last Saturday, the state of Illinois has put in effect a stay at home order and only the essential places will remain open. With my company closed for the next month, i’m trying to find ways to keep myself busy and going while home, rather than binge watching the whole series of FRIENDS once again!
Maybe it’s a good time to grab a book that you’ve been longing to read but never had the time to or maybe you’ll finally get cleaning done that you’ve been pushing off far too long. However you’re keeping yourself busy for the next month or so, this is what I’ll be up to and hopefully it’ll give y’all some ideas!
10 Ways To Keep Yourself Busy on Quarantine:
1. Read - I have accumulated so many books over the last few months that I haven’t had the chance to read yet!
2. Study the Bible - I believe right now is the perfect time for me to really dive more into the Word and tackle a book of the Bible I haven’t gone through yet. (Sooo, if anyone has any recommendations of a Book to go through let me know!)
3. Walking my Dog - though this is something I should be doing during quarantine or not, it’s important to make sure we get some fresh air during this time being locked up at home. The government wants us to (even though they shut down all state parks...)
4. Exercise - theres lots of at home workouts and movements you can do that don’t involve being at a gym or having the proper equipment. Keeping your body going and active will help keep your body less sluggish during this time.
5. Sell things on Facebook Marketplace - sold my first item on day one of quarantine! Plus, it’s a great way to declutter your place and sell items you don’t need - while making some extra cash!
6. Binge Watch a TV Show - I’m not saying this is what we should consist our day of completely, BUT I do plan on re-watching the whole series of FRIENDS for the fourth time.
7. FaceTime Friends - and this is how we do social distancing!
8. Find Some New Music - I’m currently obsessed with Jeremy Camp after seeing the movie, I Still Believe, so i’ve been listening to him on repeat. (check out Dead Man Walking by him)
9. Clean Out Your Phone - this is something I ALWAYS put off, but I have photos from 2016 so i’ll be busy for awhile...
10. Post Something Positive on Social Media - all I ever see nowadays is posts on COVID-19, the government, and TP shortages. Post quotes, pictures of your pets/kids, or what you’re doing! Spread positive vibes all over the internet in the difficult times we are in right now.
