7 Things To Do While Sheltering In Place

March 17, 2020

Being stuck at home may make you feel anxious, and downright even overwhelming because your options may seem to be limited. Not to worry! We offer you a few ideas that not only are time-consuming, but it may also be a skill that may benefit you in the long run.  

  1. Learn a new skill that you can add to your resume such as public speaking, business writing, how to Photoshop and more. Check out dozens of skills offered for free HERE!
  2. Visit more than 2,500 museums throughout the world from the luxury of your home – for free! Check it out!
  3. Master your green thumb!  Learn with a loved one how to take care of plants and spruce up your garden. If you live in an apartment, you can plant flowers or herbs in pots from your balcony.
  4. Start a new hobby. Learn to draw, paint, or play the guitar.
  5. Read a good book. There are thousands of e-books and even audiobooks to choose from!
  6. Go for a walk but be sure to distant yourself at least 6 feet apart from someone else.
  7. Create a bucket list.

However, way you choose to spend your time quarantined at home, do what makes you happy during this difficult time.
