The Quarantine period-how to make the best of it

It is a time of distress and we all our stuck in our homes (or hostels) , social distancing is the norm right now and "yr bore ho raha hu" are the commonly spoken words. So how do we make the best of this time?

1. Play board games

Okay, so it might sound lame , but board games are really entertaining. I tried playing carrom yesterday ( we are stuck in our hostels right now ) and it was fun. 

You can try chess , ludo or any game that you like. You can also play UNO or taboo.

Dust your carrom board that has been lying there for years and USE IT.

2. Netflix and quarantine

Netflix is your best friend when you're bored, but don't get addicted to it; you might end up feeling unproductive. 

You can watch stand ups , Netflix originals or may be a SHORT series.

3. Try something artistic

You can start drawing or do something creative. Start with some easy drawings , use Pinterest for help or go to Youtube for advice. 

I am a self taught artist and trust me , Pinterest helps a lot and is enough to start any sort of creative work. ( I even sell my art now )

Some of my works-

4. Read books

If you were an avid reader at some point of your life , you can use this time to read books . You can try fiction , non fiction , self help books etc.

I'll attach a FREE pdf of two good books at the end of the blog. 

Also , some book suggestions-

5. Have a cup of tea with your family ( or coffee maybe)

Often , we people are so consumed with our lives that we forget to spend time with our family and friends. We can use this crisis as an opportunity to spend some time with our families.

6. Start a blog / online course/ coding 

If you ever wanted to start a blog or learn coding or do an online course on content writing , history or even digital marketing. This is the time. Use this time to do what you have always wanted to but didn't find the time.

You can try coursera or udemy for the same.
