• Clean. Cleaaaaaaan. Being in a clean house will make this so much nicer. If you're stuck in your house all day, being in a clean home will help. Plus, it's good exercise.
• If you have a garden and can go in it, do! Plant some stuff for spring, tidy it up, feed the birds, whatever.
• If you have a Netflix watch list, go through it. Watch stuff in the background while cleaning or something.
• If you're sick, change your bed. I've been in bed a lot and I just changed it and it's nice to have fresh sheets instead of my sweaty ones.
• Take up a craft. Go on pinterest and diy some shit.
• Watch documentaries
• Change out of your pyjamas, even if it's just into a hoodie and some sweats. You'll feel better.
• If you have schoolwork to do, do it. I know, it's boring, but itll kill some time.
• Paint, collage, sketch. Try and improve your skills. Get creative!
• Call your family and friends! Facetime or phone. Call your mum, your auntie, your best friend, whoever. We're human and we need contact.
• Rearrange your furniture, create a new environment.
• Have a clear out of clothes you don't wear anymore
• Read!! Read books you haven't read yet or reread your favourite books. Get lost in a different world.
• If you're not in school, perhaps teach yourself something. I like to study stuff in my own time. Botany, human evolution, space, anything. Learning stuff is fun when you're not getting graded on it.
• Fuck it, learn a new language. Go on omegle or something and talk to people from different countries and test your skills.
• Bake, cook, make something. I recommend bread. I have a recipe under my #angie talks tag.
• Support small businesses. I'm on a group chat with fellow shop owners and they're all worried about the sales going down. I know, right now you're worried about needing necessities, but shop around on etsy and buy birthday presents, diy kits, jewellery etc. You'll make their week.
• If you're sick, open the windows. Its recommended for coronavirus anyway but its nicer to be in bed with the window open.
• Watch nature outside your house. For like half an hour today I watched birds. I counted 56 this morning.
• Make your own natural remedies for your symptoms. If you're on any medication, as always, check for interactions.
• Nap
• Put on loud music and dance. Get your blood flowing
• Check out home workouts on YouTube. Keeping active boosts your immune system and itll pass the time
• Make stuff out of trash. Pinterest is full of diy crafts, my favourites are bird feeders out of bottles and planters out of bottles.
• Get into your sewing pile and mend clothes
• Embroider funky patches
• If you're quarantined with family, chat to them. Suggest a family movie night or break out some board games. My husband refuses to play chess with me because I'm too good at it, I've never lost a chess game in my life
• Chat to people on tumblr
• Journal how you feel or vent to someone. Its frustrating being stuck inside
• World build! Make maps of imagined places
• Upcycle your clothes and make them look cooler
• Make a bucket list
