As Covid-19 has kept many people isolated at home, there’s been a growing need to fill the voids of boredom. Apart from spending all day on the couch catching up on old movies or TV shows, you may not know what to do with yourself. Here are five things that you can do to keep yourself entertained while practicing social distancing.

Video Chat 

Keeping your social distance from others is imperative at a time like this. However, with the lack of social closeness, you can find yourself under mental duress. To help enhance your mental health, try video chatting. Whether it’s a family member or an old friend, now is the perfect time to catch up. Video chatting has been shown to enhance mental health more than traditional voice chatting. 

Stop Watching the News Around the Clock 

As with any sort of pandemic, the news stations will be airing all kinds of information about the event. Some of that information is valid, and others are rumors. It’s best not to spend all your time watching the news as it can drive your stress levels through the roof. Instead, set aside time in the morning and the evening to scan local news stations to learn of any notable developments. 

Exercise 

Going from an active lifestyle to lounging around the house can take a toll on your body. After a couple of days of lounging around, you’ll likely want to get moving. Exercise is a great way to keep your body moving during this pandemic. Consider trying out a new exercise program online as there are tons of starter programs out there that don’t require any special equipment. 

Complete Your Honey To-Do List 

Do you remember all those things around the house that you said you would do when you got the time to do so? Well, now is the time that you can complete these to-do list tasks. Whether it’s rekindling a relationship with an old pal or finally completing that outdoor garden, this social distancing period has given you the necessary time to do so. 

Have a Designated Remote Workspace 

Many individuals are transitioning into working remotely for their job. This has brought the need for designated workspaces to be created. If you don’t have one, you need to construct one. It’s tough to maintain proper focus on your day-to-day work when you’re lounging on the couch, or your children are in the same room. Set aside a workspace that can allow you to focus on the tasks at hand without distraction.
