How to spend time during quarantine

Posted on April 24, 2020 by Sonoma Valley Sun

While the coronavirus is raging outside most people are stuck in quarantine. Besides shopping and cleaning your home, you can find yourself with a lot of free time. Even if you work from home you’ll still end up with a few hours on your hands. Instead of being bored for hours, you can the next couple of things:

Read Something

If you have lots of time on your hands then this time can be spent reading. If you’ve started a book now is a good time to finish it. On the other hand, you can pick out any title and start reading it. Not a book person? There are plenty of comics that you can read online and plenty of specials to go through. You can also read a few issues of your favorite magazine. Whatever you choose you’ll be entertained for hours.

Play Games

The gaming industry has been thriving every year by pumping out lots of titles. Even if you aren’t a gamer you could start a game and enjoy it in a short while. With the array of online games available all you need to do is pick one, contact your friends, and spend hours shooting each other.

If you’re looking to earn a little extra money on the side then you can try online casino games. Top-ranking sites like Novibet will give lots of games to choose from along with many bonuses. If you’re looking for a site that will give you a chance to win rewards and provide you with a safe gaming environment then signup at Novibet and let the fun begin.

Exercise

Those food supplies you bought for the whole week aren’t giving you the funny looks, you’re just bored. Before you know it you’ll have eaten them in two days and will have gained some extra weight. If you have spare time then you should keep your body sharp, not just your mind.

Yoga is always a good thing to do. Otherwise, you can try a regular combination of push-ups, crunches, and whatnot. There are apps for both types of exercise so you can download them and let the app lead your exercising session. You’re bound to feel better after it.

Learn Something New

If you’re looking to change your profession or learn a new skill that will improve your performance at your current one then this is the time to learn such skills. There are lots of online learning platforms you can try depending on what you want to learn.

You can use the spare time you have on your hands to learn a new language, how to develop an app, how to cook, how to paint, how to produce music, make videos, and much more. All you need to do is take a pick and start learning. You’ll feel better about yourself and after the quarantine’s over you’ll have a resume employers would take a shine on or you’ll have learned a skill you can implement any time you like.
