Quarantine can get quite boring with the overwhelming amount of free time give to you. Staying at home can also drive you crazy at times, with the craving to go outside and enjoy the sun. And I’m definitely not the only one who searched up things to do during quarantine or what to do when bored.

Though being at home or even having a home to stay in is a blessing, as many others don’t have right now. And we gotta say our thanks to the health care officials for being at the front line for us. The time given to us is more than enough to finish the work assigned, so what on earth am I going to do with the other hours that I still have left?

So here are 25 things you can do during quarantine!

1. Yoga

Yoga can stretch your body muscles and gain some flexibility through out each time. And it could also keep your body moving during this quarantine, as you and I both know that it’s becoming a problem XD

With a yoga mat and choose from the plethora of yoga instruction videos on Youtube. Since exercising is also a good way to up your mood, and it can also relax your mind. So give yoga a try if you haven’t yet!

2. Learning a New Language

I love learning new languages, since I would love to travel across the world or just to certain places one day. And learning a new language can amplify such an experience and also give you that bragging rights, amiright?

In all seriousness, learning a new language is actually a great goal to have. Get some language books, and one or two notebooks, and start studying by yourself! Let me brag for a little and say that I know how to speak Chinese, English and French. And learning Korean and hopefully Japanese XD

3. Bullet Journaling

This quarantine is also really testing our own time management right now, as one either messes around and waste time away. Or they try to work hard to use this time to the max. Though we should have both kinds of days during this quarantine, since this is a stressful time in life. Relaxing and working hard should have a balance.

That’s where bullet journaling comes in, in order to manage your time wisely, map out your daily tasks on it. Draw and design your own bujo and schedule your time and tasks to use time to the max during this quarantine!

4. Meditate

Meditating with some relaxing music in the background and sit or lie down somewhere. Then close your eyes for ten minutes without thinking of anything else to relax your brain. Unclog your brain of the thoughts that has been running around your mind for a while.

This could also be put with yoga as both ways have relaxing effects and it can aid you in distressing from this rather hard time in the world right now.

5. Do a DIY

Who knows how long it has been since you did a DIY? When you’re forced by your teacher? Think about doing a DIY and let your creative juices flow! Find some ideas either here on Pinterest or even Youtube for inspiration, there’s bound to be one that calls to you!

6. Draw

Draw or paint something! Use this time and paint something, though even if you’re bad at it, you can always just call it some form of abstract painting XD Draw anything that has been in your mind and let the paint flow on the canvas!

7. Clean Your Room

There isn’t a better time to clean your room than now since you actually have time now. Clean your room and give yourself a clean environment to work in for most likely another while for now. A neat room = a better mindset, and you’ll feel real nice after seeing a well organized room as well.

8. Prepare Yourself a Meal

Maybe you’ve been eating out, maybe you haven’t been eating the best since you’re too lazy. Though try getting down to business and prepare yourself a nice meal to award yourself for holding it out for this long during quarantine.

9. Start a Side Hustle

Making some extra income at the side is always a good thing, make some extra cash by starting a small side hustle at the side. A small online business can do well, since majority of things right now are online.

10. Skin Care

Give yourself a self care day and do your skin care routine that you’ve been neglecting recently and care for your skin. Especially now that it’s summer, it’s when your skin is the driest, so be sure to care for your skin and do that skin care!

11. Watch Netflix

Nothing wrong with an unwinding day and catch up with the series that you’ve been wanting to watch since forever. Now that you actually have time, finish the series and enjoy that popcorn or snack at the side along with it while this quarantine is still lasting!

12. Talk to your Friends via FaceTime/Text

Being in quarantine without much friends can get lonely or even without family, so FaceTime and catch up with how your friends are doing recently! Text and chat about how life has been together, since we could all use of that company right now.

13. Bubblebath

Filling the tub with some water and throw the bath bomb you’ve been saving in there. And throw yourself in there as well while playing some music. It can definitely be a nice unwinding time to just soak in the warm water!

14. Watch the Sunset

Sunsets paint the sky with various colors of orange, pink and red and so much more, it’s absolutely gorgeous and I love seeing the sky slowly change colors as the sun set. Something about seeing the sunset is rather entertaining to see the night arrive. 10/10 would recommend XD

15. Manicure at Home

Since you can’t go to your favorite nail place right now, settle for your own mini manicure! Try doing it on your own at home because we can still be pretty in the house without being dressed in your pjs already 24/7. Finish the nail polish bottle that you bought way too long ago and paint your own nails!

16. Go on a Walk

I went on walks as well amidst this quarantine, it can get way too suffocating to remain in your home for too long. Though please wear a mask, be prepared and remain six feet apart as social distance. Take a stroll in your nearby park and enjoy the sun for a while!

17. Bake Some Cookies

Bake some cookies and eat your feelings away with those cookies. I’ve been baking as well and I’ve never been much of a baker, though it felt good to just bake something and drop the task at hand. And just eat the cookies I baked with a cup of milk. It felt great in all honesty.

18. Read a Book

One of my New Year’s Resolution was to read more since I never had enough time before. And now that we all have more time on our hands, finish the novel that have been lying on your drawer since your first bought it and start reading it!

19. Board Games

Game Of Life was a game that my friend had bought me, and I started to play it with my family ever since the quarantine for some family bonding time. It was fun to just play and it was much better than being bored majority of the time and not knowing what to do for half of it.

20. Make a List of Things You want to Do

Being in this quarantine made me reflect on the things I wish I had done before lock down in my own house. So make a list of all the things you want to do after we get out of this quarantine and do them once this is all over!

21. Teach yourself a New Skill

Teach yourself something new, besides learning a new language, though that fits this as well. For me, it has been knitting, though it’s not technically new, I’ve been knitting a beanie up for no reason. But teaching yourself a new skill such as baking, gardening, or even dancing is great!

22. Take a Nap

My sleep schedule has been messed up ever since this quarantine happened and I doubt that I’m the only one. So take a nap and catch up on all the sleep that you’ve been missing from either catching up on the newest episode on the series or just ‘because’ XD

23. Listen to Music and Dance

Music can up someone’s entire mood, so play some pumping music and dance your heart out if you were feeling down. Heck, play some club music and jump around, since no one’s looking, no one’s judging. Dance the night away~

24. Watch a Documentary

Documentaries are actually quite interesting if you find the right one, or a ted-talks is also another good choice to choose from. Watch documentaries that touch on topics that you’re interested in and learn more from it!

25. Try a New Hobby

Trying a new hobby like ones I’ve listed above : learning a new language or a new skill. Those could all become one of the new hobbies that you start to pick up during this quarantine!

Bonus :

Play with your pets and spend more time with them IF you have a pet. I personally do, I have a small dog, and I’ve been playing more with him with his toys. Though I end up with quite the little nips of red marks on my hand, it’s quite fun to see him zoom around XD
