Seven ideas for things to do at home during the lockdown or just for fun 

There is now a growing debate about how to survive quarantine and self-isolation. Experts advise residents of cities affected by the disease to spend less time in crowded places and stay indoors if possible. Actually, this raises the question of what to do at home, so as not to waste time in vain and not to get discouraged? Where to go for fun, Netflix, watch soap operas or follow the latest games on 20bet.com/pt? Here are some ideas for useful and fun pastimes – hopefully, coronavirus will soon be defeated and this list will come in handy for regular home weekends. 

Pump up beauty skills 

Most people probably have a lot of interesting things in their makeup bag that they’re not using. It’s time to do a revision, put aside the excess, and master whatever has been put off for a long time. Plugin any beauty tutorial and figure it out, when else will everyone have so much free time to learn how to draw face art like Grimes or do a manicure as good as a salon one?

Clean windows

Cleaning and reorganising things are the most useful and obvious thing to do at home. Extra points are for washing curtains, which also successfully accumulate dust and dirt from the street.

Take care of your closet

Another useful activity to spend long hours doing is sorting out closets. Those who haven’t shuffled through their clothes in a while, organise everything into themed piles. For example, “keep,” “swap,” “sell” and “give to charity.” Perhaps it’s time to finally sew on the missing buttons and make other minor repairs than can be handled at home. 

Have a video conference call 

The opportunity to talk on Skype or face-to-face with the dearest person, who is far away, is one of the greatest achievements of mankind. However, in usual life, most people do not use it so often, because everyone is running somewhere or prefer to correspond. Since everyone is sitting at home more, it’s become the norm to have a video date with a grandmother, a friend from another country or even a girlfriend who lives next door.

Experiment with food

While no one’s stopping anyone from ordering delivery, some might want to turn a meal during lockdown into a fun challenge. Try examining supplies and making a dish out of what’s lying around on the shelves or in the fridge. At the same time, check the expiration date and throw out everything that already looks more like a biological weapon than food.

Update your resume

When was the last time your resume or portfolio for updated? For those who have been at the same place for several years, it’s probably a long time ago. Having a current resume ready is always useful, even for those who are not going to change jobs right now. What if there’s a dream job with a big salary or a great internship very soon? Remember that a resume should, first and foremost, show how a worker can benefit a potential employer. 

Read the books and articles you’ve been putting off for later 

Most people probably have paper books that they bought but haven’t read. Instead of buying a new fancy novel, take up what’s waiting on the bookshelf at home. Same with articles, many people have apps like Pocket with a graveyard of long reads that they’ve been putting aside there in hopes of reading someday later.
