This current pandemic season hasn't been easy for anyone of us. However, we wanted to express our gratitude to everyone who took this crisis seriously and stayed home! That’s already quite some progress we made and therefore it’s important to keep up that great work!

Well, since you’re currently spending most of your time at home and more ideally in your shared apartment with your coliving crew, we decided to put together a little list of suggestions to make this time a little bit more enjoyable and fun for you!

1. Set a schedule for your coliving crew for more quality time!

The current social distancing regulations can result in a strong feeling of loneliness and isolation which is why it’s so important to schedule a specific time with your coliving crew to do some group activities. This step will allow every roommate to get a chance to hang out and spend some quality time with each other.

2. Make a TikTok account for your coliving crew!

This time you won’t find an actual excuse for not doing it. This app is super fun and requires some creativity, too! If you’re too skeptical in the beginning, you can keep your account private and share it with other coliving crews. It definitely makes our days at home more enjoyable and helps us to not think about the concerning news for a little bit.

3. Use this time to declutter and reorganize your coliving space!

Even tough this suggestion isn’t necessarily considered to be a fun one, we promise you that as a crew you can make it work! Just turn up some good music, determine the different tasks, assign a specific role to each roommate and you’re ready to start this incredible transformation!

4. Support your local restaurants and enjoy some delicious food at home!

While you can’t visit any restaurants or bars at the moment you can still order from your favorite food places and make your own drinks. Add some background music to set the mood, set the table nicely and just enjoy your time together. This suggestion is not only helping your local businesses to survive, it also brings you joy and who can say no to a fun dinner night?

5. Motivate each other!

While everyone enjoys some time to relax, it is important to not lose sight of your important tasks. Well, since we’re all in this together, there’s an easy solution for that. Just make an agreement with your coliving crew to remind and motivate each other every single day to prevent procrastination. You can even start exercising together, study together or start a book club! There are seriously no boundaries :)
