While self-isolation is an essential tactic for limiting the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), there is no denying that staying home every day can get repetitive. During these tumultuous times, it’s incredibly important to keep yourself occupied and continue to remain productive.

With that in mind, we’ve put together five ideas to help you stay busy during self-isolation. Although these activities might seem insignificant or mundane on their own, it’s imperative to cross things off of your to-do list and beat boredom during isolation.

Now is an excellent time to complete household tasks you’ve been putting off, so take a look and learn how to occupy yourself while you’re stuck at home.

 

Get creative in the kitchen

With extra time on your hands, why not learn a new skill? Even if you’re already a great chef, you can use your time in isolation to pick up new cooking techniques, create new recipes or master a new dish. Once you’ve decided what you’d like to learn, head over to Google or YouTube to find tutorials. Pick up the supplies you need on your next trip to the supermarket.

 

Clean out your wardrobe

 

Is your closet overdue for a cleanup? Spend a morning sorting through your wardrobe and decide what you’d like to keep, donate or discard. You might even find some clothes or shoes that you had forgotten about – which could help you switch up your style and get out of your typical routine.

 

Rearrange your furniture

Shake things up by moving around the furniture in your lounge room or bedroom. Rearranging your home will give you a mental refresh and achieve a new mindset. Alternatively, if you’re happy with your current setup, order new pillows or throw blankets to change up the look and feel of your place.

 

Sort through your garage

If your garage is overloaded with random tools, sports equipment, old boxes and other belongings, now is the perfect time to clean it up. You might even find some valuable items that you can re-sell for extra cash.

 

Spruce up your property

Whether you’re out of work or working from home, self-isolation has undoubtedly given you more free time. Take advantage by tackling outdoor home to-do items, like lawn care, gardening or similar projects that you’ve been putting off. Property maintenance is also a great excuse to get outside and enjoy some sunshine (while adhering to social distancing guidelines).

 

Have you been considering making home improvements or upgrades, like installing a pool? If so, dedicate some time to researching reputable vendors in your area while isolation orders are still in effect. If you live near Sydney, swimming pool builder companies like Blue Haven even offer virtual consultations so that you can start the process from home.

These suggestions can help you stay productive and upbeat while you’re in isolation and may provide a distraction to the stressful news events around the world. Above all else, your family’s health and safety are the most important things during these challenging times. Stay safe, and we hope to see you at one of our showroom events when things return to normal.
