25 Things To Do When You’re Stuck At Home
It’s been a lot, staying at home day in and day out. There are some mornings where I have woken up not knowing what day it was. Who am I kidding, that’s been most days. This quarantine is a completely unprecedented event that no one really knows what to do with.
For some, this has been a trying time mentally. So if the idea of thinking of things to do and accomplish during quarantine stresses you out do NOT worry about it. You do not have to accomplish or even do anything that you don’t want to. If it helps you more to completely veg out for the time being then that is what you should do. It’s been a pet peeve of mine seeing people making comments on Facebook about how “if you don’t come out of this quarantine with a new hustle or skill or whatever then you didn’t lack time you lacked motivation” or whatever it says. That’s bull shit. This insane change to our lives is not handled the same by each person.
That being said, if you’re like DYING for things to do, here are some sick ideas on how to spend your time.
- Puzzles
- Learn a new language
- Call a family member
- Read a book
- Binge a new series
- Try a new hobby
- Go for nature walks
- Play board games
- Play video games
- Virtual friend dates
- Learn a new dish
- Build a fort
- Make a photo album
- Research your family tree
- Watch a movie
- Organize your home
- Do an art project
- Listen to podcasts
- Practice your instrument
- Start journaling
- Try meditating
- Self-care day
- Coloring books for adults

This won’t last forever, but as long as it’s lasting we might as well have some fun with it right? And if you need some inspiration during this wild time, check out these quotes to get you through quarantine.
I can personally say I’ve done 20 of these so far, the other 5 are on my to-do list that has no concept of time or necessity to complete. SO tell me, what have you been doing while separated from the rest of society??
