These past few months I have been keeping busy working from home, studying for an online exam and completing an assignment; while at home I have been trying to keep up with some exercise too.
I've come up with a list of recommendations that could be helpful for most of us spending time at home:
- Watch some Netflix or Disney+
- Get some steps in- 10k steps could be good milestone to get to. You can spend some time outside in the fresh air or walk indoors, your choice (remember to keep your distance and wear a face mask if possible)
- Have a routine going- it can be beneficial as it can be easy to get into a bit of a slump
- Read a book
- Draw pictures
- Treat yourself with something nice
- Enjoy summer, especially if you are on holiday!
If you aren't working at the moment or are on holiday, it could be good opportunity to do something you've wanted to do for a while now that you might have more time for it.
What have you been doing to get you through these difficult times of lockdown and social distancing?
Lastly in this post, I want to say a huge thank you to all the key and NHS workers who have been working tirelessly this year.
I've been booking little getaways around the UK. Something nice to look forward too!

Thanks Zoey, that's great! I hope you enjoy your little getaways and glad it's bringing you joy in these times.
DeleteIt might be that we can explore more of the UK than we would usually do!
I am on holiday right now, but it is a working holiday :)
ReplyDeleteI am designing new pieces of clothing and quite enjoying it.
Enjoy the holiday! Designing clothing seems very productive and can boost creativity. I've had a look and really like the top you've created.
DeleteI think this is also the best time to learn something new or enhance your present skills.
ReplyDeleteVery true, it seems like we've got a lot more time. I'm working from home but the time saved because im not travelling to work and back really helps.
DeleteThank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I'm thankful for having so many hobbies to keep me busy. Can't imagine how anyone is ever bored when there's so much to do, so many choices.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment Tammy! You've got great self motivation and You can get up to a lot if you have the willpower, its good to hear you spending time with hobbies too.
DeleteThat's a good list you thought of during these unsettling times. I especially like the Netflix one. Sometimes I watch Gilmore Girls episodes on Netflix. I remember that scene from Home Alone, so funny and such a classic. Stay safe during this time, and thanks for visiting. : )

Thanks Sheri, this gif made me laugh so i wanted to add this into the post. I am watching Netflix and Disney plus sometimes but keeping busy.
DeleteI heard Mulan might come onto disney plus for a fee...
I've also been drawing a lot during the quarantine. :) Also welcome to the blogosphere, I love the way your blog looks!

I've drawn a little while at home but haven't done a lot. Thanks a lot Quinley it's very nice of you to say! Hope you are having a good week and take care.
DeleteI like Netflix.
ReplyDeleteI do too, I probably watch more than I should!
DeleteI've been focusing on working out and meditation. It just fills my day with more positivity.

This is a great thing to get into the habit of. I have been doing a little exercise as i haven't been walking as much now im working from home as I would going to work. Keep positive
DeleteI work from home all the time so thankfully the last few month haven't been too difficult for me, but I did waste way too much time on Netflix at the beginning x

I have been doing alright working from home so far thankfully, glad it's not difficult for you either! Been looking at what's on Netflix and Disney plus and its so easy to pass time just watching something.
DeleteNice and inspiring post, I agree this is the time you can do what you've wanted to do for a long time.

DeleteSuch a great list, your blog is the cutest! For me it feels like there isn't enough time to get everything done haha, I think I am trying to take on too much at once. My goal is to stop and enjoy the sunshine more! :D xx
ReplyDeleteelizabeth ♡ ”Ice Cream” whispers Clara
Thanks Elizabeth, thats an amazing goal- it is very easy to find time passing by when there's a lot to do!
DeleteGreat ideas. I've been going out for walks/hikes a lot. Really trying to enjoy the outdoors.
ReplyDeleteI just followed your lovely blog :)

Thanks so much, i really appreciate it! That sounds lovely and something that means more time outside rather than staying home!
DeleteI feel you about working from home. I know I've been getting bored. All of these different activities sound like something I have been doing hehe. Though I need to do a better job with getting my steps in! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Nancy, I've been quite busy working from home but am enjoying it. Some days are slower than others but I'm trying to make the most of the extra time I have as I'm not travelling. Take care!
DeleteI've been aiming for 10k steps myself!
