Right now quarantine is very necessary for us to help us to stop the spread of this infectious disease so here 10 things you can do whilst you are in self-isolation...
10. Read Current New
It is important that you stay up to date on other world affairs so you can see everything else that is happening in the world apart from the coronavirus. This is a way to keep your brain active as well as maybe the chance for you to learn something new to keep your mind off of the bad things that are happening around us.
9. Watch A New TV-Series
You have got to keep your self entertained somehow so why not binge-watch a new TV show. I would recommend
The Good Doctor if you have not seen it before I have just started to watch this and I am finding it rather interesting. There are lots of things that you can watch online as well such as youtube and you could watch a few films. This will stimulate your brain as it is something new that you are doing and it is important that we keep stimulating our brains whilst we are stuck inside
8. Read A Book
It is important that we are keeping our brains active and we are still learning even though we are inside and what is a better way to do that than read a book. Now I know this is not for everyone but it will definitely kill some time so whilst we have got some time to kill it does not have to be a physical book as you might not have access to it but you can view books on kindles or other apps like that.
7. Using Social media
You can keep up to date on news and other events in the world that are happening through social media and you can spend endless hours going across different platforms. You can also play games on some social media sites as well which will definitely kill some time. Social media was made so that we can connect with lots of different people around the world so why not use this to connect to a long distant friend or send a message to a family member that might be struggling right now. Just a simple message can make someone's day. You could also use this to post some random selfies that you have taken throughout the day as well.
6. Cleaning
Since we have got to be inside all-day to stop the spread of this disease then why not take this opportunity to stop the spread of other things that might be already in your home. Take this free time to clean the house or even just a room that you have been putting off. Don't work too hard cleaning otherwise you will get distracted from what you are doing and feel like you have wasted a day. Make your house look comfier and make it more comfortable for you to sit in all day.
5. Re-organize
If you don't like the way your room looks now then why not take this opportunity to re-order your room. Make it a change of environment for you to be in instead of just staring at the exact same things over and over again. You might not what to change the way your room looks but you could re-organize something small like a draw or a desk make it easier for yourself to find things in the future.
4. Being Creative
The best way to kill some time is to do something creative, this will make you feel accomplished like you have done something today. It does not have to be good but it will just kill a few hours and maybe you will love the outcome of it. Try writing a song or maybe draw something and if you have got lots of memories then why not make a scrapbook of all these memories together. This will keep you off your phone, kill some hours, and most importantly have a bit of fun whilst you're doing it.

3. Baking
Why not kill some time by baking cakes or even baking some cookies for you to enjoy later. I know we might be limited on the ingredients that we can use so all I ask is that if you are going to bake make sure that you are not wasting ingredients that could be used on something important and do not make too much otherwise you will be wasting food and that is not a good idea with all the current affairs that are happening. Whatever you are baking weather its a cake or a bunch of cookies the most important thing to do is have fun whilst you're doing it otherwise it is just boring for you.
2. Create a plan for the future
We do not know if we will make it through this epidemic but it is important that we have hope through all of this so why not plan something for the future like what you are going to do tomorrow or a plan to start your own business. You could plan a trip for the future once all of this is over and go and see some new sites.
1. Exercise
I would say that the most important thing to do whilst you have got to save lives and stay inside is to exercise. This can be something small like a few push-ups or jumping jacks you have just got to stay active for your health and mental health whilst your are stuck inside and all of the gyms are closed. Just as important as it is to keep your body active it is important to keep your mind active which you will have just done by reading this.
