You’re in quarantine. You’re bored. You’re probably watching Netflix and eating something even though you ate 5 minutes ago.
Time to put the cookies down. I have brainstormed some ideas for you. Enjoy 🙂
- Do the things you “never have time for”.
- Work on your resume, figure out your major, look for a summer job or internship. Don’t wait until the last minute.
- Clean out your closet. Do your laundry. Try on old clothes to see if they still fit. Switch from the winter to summer wardrobe. Make sure your socks match.
- Workout. Summer is coming.. You now have the time to put in the work to feel good by the pool in June.
- Delete old apps and pictures off your phone.
- Get ahead at work. Respond to emails, re-evaluate the company’s goals, make the business plan, etc.
- If you’re in college – do the work now so you can have fun later. Once this mess is over, the first thing you’re gonna wanna do is head to that bar on a Friday night – and we all know that homework will be last on the priority list.
- Create something: a podcast, YouTube channel, music, write a book, start a business, develop a website, start a blog 😉
- Learn something. Google and YouTube will do wonders for you. Learn how to play a guitar, how to speak spanish, how to garden, how to cook, etc.
- Try the Pinterest ideas. You saw Suan’s post on how to make deep fried oreos? Go for it.
- Read a good book.
- Watch good movies.
- Find good music. Make a million playlists.
- Make a life plan for yourself. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10?
- Play Candy Crush or Fortnite or whatever is cool these days.. I don’t know.
- Make a billion TikToks and get famous.
- Rearrange your room.
- Paint.
- Watch the entire Twilight series.. Again.
- Scroll through social media.. Do the “until tomorrow” challenge. Do the 10 push ups. Post a picture of your dog.. You know, all the meaningful things.
- Take some self timer pics.. I did.
- Shower, do your makeup and hair, make yourself look and feel good.
- Online shop. Retail therapy, am I right?
- Get on Pinterest. It’s such an underrated app.
- Clean out your car. (Yes, I know I should be taking my own advice on this one.)
- Update your Facebook. Let Grandma know you’re still alive.
- Cuddle your dog. If you have a cat.. sorry.
- Plan a future trip.
- Find a new podcast to listen to.
- Find a job online? Freelance, teaching English to Chinese kids.. I don’t know.
- Bake. Quarantine calories don’t count.
- Actually cook your meals instead of heating up chicken nuggets (guilty), just because it gives you something to do.
- Fix your LinkedIn profile.
- Make a bucket list.
- Wash your makeup brushes. If you can’t remember the last time that you washed them, it’s been too long my friend.
- Create a vision board.
- Read all my blog posts 😉
- Watch YouTube videos. You can literally never get bored there.
- Go for a walk or bike ride. Remember that there’s still life outdoors.
- Do some DIY’s. Again, find them on Pinterest. Possibilities are endless.
- Make a list of places you want to travel.
- Have a picnic.. even if it’s by yourself.
- Text your crush. Don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of time to hide if they don’t respond. 🙂
- Twitter. That’s all that needs to be said.
- Clean out the “junk drawer.” It’s time.
- Have I mentioned Pinterest? 🙂 🙂
- Journal. Reflect. Make goals.
- Read reviews on Yelp. Leave reviews on Yelp. I swear it’s funnier than you’d think.
- If you’re looking to scare yourself a little, watch the news!
- If literally none of this works for you, just go freakin sleep.
All jokes aside.. Hopefully you got an idea or 2 out of this. Use your time wisely, keep a positive mindset, be thankful, tell your people you love them, and stay inside!!
