What to do in Quarantine
January 11, 2021
All of us know that we have been here for a while, and we have nothing to do!!!! So, that is why I’m her, to inform you about how to be entertained. This is what I think would help us not be bored…
- READ A BOOK
I know, I know, you are all groaning over there, but reading a book can help pass the time. Comment what your favorite book is the comment section below.
2.Watch some T.V.
I’m not saying watch T.V. for 10 straight hours a day, maybe 2 or even 1. Just grab the remote and your phone, set a timer, and then do some other stuff on this list (video games, too).
3.Complete a puzzle
The more pieces the better! Feeling extra saucy? Take on a Rubik’s Cube. More of a word person? Crossword puzzle!
4. Start a journal or blog.
Sure, it can be about the coronavirus, but it could also be about a specific interest from chess to cheese.
5. If it won’t bother your neighbors:
Dust off that old instrument and practice.
6.Write poetry.
Perhaps you can craft a haiku for Mother’s Day, or something without a specific structure. Just try it!
7.Watch all the really long movies you’ve avoided until now.
8. Download Duolingo, or a similar app, and teach yourself a foreign language.
9. Meditate.
Try lying down with your eyes closed, palms up and while focusing on your breath, or spend 20 minutes sitting cross-legged and repeat a soothing word to yourself in your head. (The latter is more like transcendental meditation.)
There were 100 items on this list. Here’s the link if you’re still bored https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2020/03/16/coronavirus-quarantine-100-things-do-while-trapped-inside/5054632002/

Nataile,
I love your list! No groanings about reading a book here…books can help you let your imagination run free! And, I agree with watching TV to pass the time but I always like to throw in a documentary here and there to learn about events in history, a specific topic or even a biographies of ordinary people who have done extraordinary things.

I thought this was really cool and really liked your idea about the puzzles.
