By the end of the quarantine, you can create, produce, and curate many creative projects. Sometimes it just takes some additional time in your week to complete it. Use this list as a starting guide for activities you are interested in.
Whether you are home alone or with some family members, you can look at this list as a way to get your day started with productive and fun activities. You can opt to do all of these activities all in one day or you can stretch them out over the course of the quarantine. It is totally up to you!
1. Have a Home Spa Day
What did the famous group XSCAPE say? "Kick off your shoes and relax your feet." Kick your feet up with a wonderful spa day in the comfort of your home. You can:- Soak your feet in warm water and epsom salt for 10-20 minutes
- Make a DIY face mask (click for 5 easy face masks!)
- Paint your nails
- Make a DIY hair mask (click for a list of hair masks!)
2. Update Your Personal Resume and Cover Letter
If you have recently had a new career transition, commissioned more art, started a new job, learned a new skill, or feel like tapping into your creative side, the COVID-19 virus has given my fellow procrastinators additional time to update their portfolios, resumes and cover letters!
3. Organize Your Space
Take a look around your residence and observe all of the projects you have put to the side. You can use this time to tidy up your bedroom, reorganize your pantry or bookshelf, or even sort through all of your clothes. You may never know what you may find until you clear your space.
4. Try a New Recipe
Since many areas are placing non-essential businesses on lockdown like restaurants, this is a great time to brush up on your cooking and baking skills! Take this time to re-create your favorite menu item from a restaurant or search your favorite foodie blogger for new recipes. (DISCLAIMER: I am not advocating eating all of your food in your home. Please do not eat all of your quarantine snacks to complete this!)
5. Create a Bullet Journal
If you love itemized order, bullet journals are super helpful! The idea of bullet journaling is simple: you can write on any topic and organize a journal by particular themes. I have seen journals that list positive affirmations, exercise plans, recipes, movies or TV shows to binge, and more!6. Make a Bucket List
Quarantining makes an excellent opportunity to list of the things you want to do in life. By writing a bucket list during a time where you are not allowed to do many recreational things, it may inspire new experiences that you want to try.7. Follow a workout video
During the regular (and normal) week, working out may be hard to fit into your schedule. If you have the space and ability, you can use this time to follow along to a workout video. My personal favorites are Personal Training by Dee for personalized virtual workouts and Yoga By Candace for any yoga practice.8. Discover Passive Income
Ok, this can lead to greater things beyond the quarantine. I have learned that there are so many ways to garner passive income. You can start a blog, invest in stocks, curate an e-commerce retail store, or even research property management.9. Curate a Playlist
You can create a playlist on any of your favorite streaming apps: Youtube, Spotify, Tidal, Soundcloud, Apple Music, etc. You can even curate a watchlist for your friends and family on apps like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+.
