Well, we know that COVID-19 is overhyped now. But many traders stay at home today and we want to help them. The crypto community discusses how to buy and sell coins during this crisis, how to hedge risks, and when USD will become obsolete. There are hundreds of tips and articles.

Instead, Superorder aims at more ordinary things. Our team is located in different parts of the world so we know how to cooperate remotely and maintain high trading productivity. In this guide, we will show five essential non-trading activities that can help during forced or self-isolation. Enjoy!

1. Communicate

First and foremost, you should understand that lockdown doesn’t mean total isolation. Yes, it prevents people from leaving homes and contacting other people personally. Nevertheless, it enables powerful online interactions.

The crypto world is highly connected thanks to the very concept of cryptocurrencies and blockchains. Investors discuss strategies, markets, pumps & dumps, altcoins, and many more vital things. We suggest joining these discussions to stay connected.

2. Do Sport

Sport is one of the best ways to get distracted from trading and other work activities. First of all, you physically move away from your trading place like a desktop or tablet. Then, you improve blood circulation that helps you to think and react faster. Finally, you make yourself healthier and prevent various problems of a sedentary lifestyle.

3. Meditate

The next thing all quarantined traders should care about is their mental health. While physical exercises improve your body, meditation and yoga can bring balance to soul and mind. It’s invaluable when you can stay focused, ignore distractions, and keep a cool head regardless of the circumstances. These skills can boost your trading greatly, and now is a perfect moment to master them.

4. Read and Watch

This point is self-explanatory, isn’t it? Books and movies are amazing because of their diversity. If you want to trade better or improve other related skills, check professional literature, guides from experienced traders, tips, articles, series, and films. But we’d suggest taking a break and just enjoy your favorite content. From Burroughs to Stranger Things, and from Mr. Bean to the Lord of the Rings, you’re free to choose.

5. Travel (Virtually)

Yeah, this one may seem odd considering the closed borders and canceled flights. But we talk about the virtual experience here. A lot of services now offer online tours and immersive VR/AR things for people who stay home. It’s a perfect way to stop thinking about trading, refresh your mind, and enjoy unique content. Visit the Louvre, check live Venice cams, play GeoGuessr — there are a lot of opportunities.

Relax and Stay Home

The current crisis may look devastating and challenging. But it will not last forever, we hope. Focus on the most useful things that are available right now: relax, study, do sports, and spend time with your close ones. This compelled lockdown can help in your trading activities through non-trading stuff, as well as through new market opportunities. But that’s a different story.
