What To Do While Stuck At Home

So as we’re all learning the art of social distancing, I figured we could all use some additional things to do while we’re stuck at home. I know I’m going to go stir crazy at some point so I’m trying to be proactive in making sure I have plenty of things to do. At the bottom of this post, I’ll deep dive into movie, tv, podcast, and book recommendations (which are from all of you!) but first I wanted to share some other things you can do while staying in!

Things You Can Do At Home

  • Workout. There are plenty of body workouts you can do without needing equipment. Check out PopSugar Fitness for some free classes!
  • Take an online course. Been meaning to learn how to do something? Use this down time to learn something new! Here’s a great article to get you started!
  • Craft! Now is the perfect time to get your inner Etsy hustle on! Found some fun ideas here!
  • FaceTime! Just because you can’t physically be around your friends and family, doesn’t mean you can’t stay in touch. Use FaceTime do hang out without any risk of spreading illness.
