Ideas on things to do with your time in quarantine:
Prepare, don't panic. If you're preparing, you're logically evaluating a situation, taking the necessary steps to keep yourselve safe, and monitoring for any major developments. If you're panicking, you're probably not prepared, and likely won't be able to prepare intelligently either. You become a liability to yourself and others. So avoid the anxiety of feeling unprepared by actually preparing. Do your research, make a list of what you need, obtain those items, and create protocols to keep your home and surroundings (including workplace if applicable) a safe zone at all times.
Make yourself a schedule and stick to it.
Don't have a morning routine? Time to start one.
Don't eat healthy meals and supplementation? Time to be the healthiest you've ever been.
Don't have a meditation practice? Time to find one.
Don't exercise? Find a great resource online and do it daily. And get outside or get fresh air while still social distancing.
Feeling depressed, alone, or anxious? Feel deeply into it, notice it, observe it, and get curious about it. When have you felt it before? What's it really about? Our neuroses will attach to this new situation. It is a great time to feel in order to heal.
News getting you worked up? Download Freedom or a similar app, and only give yourself access to news and/or social media sites for two small windows of time during the day.
Many people say that lack of time, or their job, gets in the way of their passions. Well, here's your chance. Many of you can use this time to work on living those passions.
Use this time productively! If you do not use this time productively, but instead fritter it away compulsively checking Twitter and the news, you will deeply regret having wasted a precious opportunity.
The biggest challenge for many is to sit alone with themselves; for others it's to sit cooped up with their families pressing buttons they haven't worked to remove yet.
Start learning a new language.
Sick of writing in the lazy chicken scratch that has developed in the years since you finished school. Start learning a new writing font... Hell, pick two, why not one for "print" & one for "cursive".
Have an addiction/habit that you have been thinking of quiting for years? Biting nails? Cursing? Smoking? Well running to the corner to buy a vap or pack of smokes will endanger yourself, everyone you love, and the loved one's of people you haven't even met yet. This might be the cheapest rehab you will ever come across in this life... And nobody will be around for you to snap at while you are coming off of it.
Have an idea for a product/business you just haven't taken the time to explore and pull together? When else are you going to be able to reclaim the minutes you don't have to fight traffic to/from work each day? Give yourself those as a gift, and google business plans and start getting ready for your product/business launch date.
Feeling lonely? Time to signup for a dating app. You can't meet them in person anytime soon. But at least you can get your flirt game in order, and who knows maybe you'll start something new and beautiful.
