Not sure what to do at home during the COVID-19 epidemic? Here are some suggestions. We’ll be sharing more ideas on our social media in the coming days and weeks (@PsyberGuide on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook).
Learn something new. There are lots of free courses are offered through Khan Academy and Coursera. You could also learn a new language via Duolingo.
Organize old paperwork.
Write daily letters or emails and send them to family or friends.
Start and keep a journal.
Build something (now would be a great time to pick up some woodworking!).
Find a good home workout plan. Many gyms and clubs are now offering live streaming or online classes. Check your local centers’ social media pages to learn about their ongoing events.
Read an actual book.
Picnic in your backyard.
Group FaceTime with friends and family.
Start a blog.
Have a conversation with your family or roommates (check out this list for good ice breakers).
Write down 3 (or more) things you’re grateful for.
Do something for someone else. This may be calling or leaving a note for a neighbor, texting a friend or loved one, donating to a charity, helping someone at home.
Do an online yoga class. Many yoga teachers are offering live streams of classes. Check out your local yoga studio to find a class. (This is also a great way to help support teachers who are self-employed during this time).
Take a walk outside (when possible).
Watch a movie (especially all the really long ones you’ve been putting off watching).
Listen to a favorite album from your teenage years, or find some new music to listen to.
