Five things to do at home in Quarantine. Hey everyone, I hope you are well. In today’s post, I will be sharing five things to do at home in Quarantine. The world is crying for help as we speak. We have all been asked to stay home. Schools are shutting down, Major Companies are closing, and Airports are shutting down. Plans for 2020 have been cancelled and postponed. A lot is going on at the moment. People are scared and are forced to go into Isolation during this terrible time. However, I am no expert on the virus, so I decided to talk about ways to turn this Isolation into a good thing.
Five Things To Do At Home In Quarantine
Deep Clean Your House
Suppose you are sick and tired of always coming back to a messy home. Now is the perfect to deep clean your house. Move the furniture and clean every corner of each room. Clean your kitchen worktops. Contact new york exterminators or a pest control service near you to help inspect and treat your home for roaches, ants, fleas, mice, and other common pests. Throw out old, overused pots and kitchen equipment, and buy new ones if you have to. Change your curtains, and deep clean in-between the sofas. Throw all old worn-out clothes and shoes, toys and books that are kept in the room for an extended period. If you don’t want to deep clean your house, get a professional cleaner to clean your house (I am seriously considering this).
Family Time
Yes, we are all worried about what this isolation period means and how long it will last for and protect each other. However, this is the right time to do some catching up with family and friends. Talk to your children and catch up with their developments. How are they doing in School? Are they happy? What is happening in their lives? Use your Social Media account, Skype calls, WhatsApp massager, and Emails. Let them know you are thinking of them. If your internet connection perhaps isn’t the best, you could check out these Viasat internet plans, as well as plans from other providers, and see if you can upgrade your internet. Once you have good internet, you can use it to catch up with family members living abroad via Zoom or even have a Netflix-watching session with families who don’t live nearby where you all hit “play” at the same time.
Practice Self-Care
If you lack a Self-Care routine, now is the perfect time to start and catch up on it. This Lockdown is not easy for everyone. We are panicking and worried about the outcome. There has been a considerable number of deaths etc. Not everyone can deal with it. All the critical elements of our lives are affected by the nightmare. Practising Self-Care will help us work our way through everything and make it out stronger. You may not make it out if you let this Lockdown get to you. Self-Care starts with the mindset, so try to think positive and try as much as possible to smile every day.
Start a Journal
Journaling your way through this Lockdown is a great way to handle this. We all have a way of expressing ourselves. Either writing on a paper journal, starting a YouTube channel, or even blogging about this. We will get through, and what happened now will become a story for your future grandkids to tell. It is also an excellent way to look back and see how far we have come.
Re-plan your Year
Many of our plans have been shattered for 2020 and destroyed because of the coronavirus. This is causing a lot of anger and confusion. Countries are shutting down their borders, restricting travellers from travelling for work conferences and holidays. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t do anything about it. Instead of being frustrated about the issue, try re-plan your year and re-set your goals.
I hope you have enjoyed this post.

Thanks for the ideas. Deep cleaning was something I did not consider and these are some great ways. Curtains-yes. My kids can help with the couch. Family project! All the best to you and yours.

Deep cleaning and self care are my two favorites from this list! I hope quarantine life is going okay for you!

A friend mentioned how cool it would be to document what happened during the coronavirus. I love the idea of practicing self-care. I’m doing my best while I’m home with three kids and two pups. Every night before bed I take an hour to me.

This is an amazing list, one thing in this list I’m trying to do more often than I did before is deep cleaning. It’s so important to keep everything as clean as possible right now.

Self-care time is so critical right now, as it seems there’s very little time for anything extra right now. Hope you are staying well!

Great ideas! I love the idea of creating a fresh start out of this break from our routine.

These are all really good ideas! Especially journaling. I use to journal all the time but somehow got out of the habit. It always was such a stress relief to get my thoughts out of my head and down on paper. Thanks so much for sharing!
Lauren
These are all really great ideas! I’ve been doing lots of reading and writing so not being so busy running around outside has made me more productive. I also been doing at home workouts! (I can share info for anyone interested) and this really reduces my stress being indoors!
Erin
I love these ideas for keeping busy at home. For me, keeping busy is so important during this crisis. I love the self care and journal ideas. It’s likely we all need to think about replanning our year – so much is going to change!
Morgan
Love all of these ideas! I feel like so many people are just laying around on their couches waiting for this to be over! This really motivated me to get up and be purposeful with my day. Thank you.
