Hello my lovely readers! It’s been a while since I last updated my blog. How are you? And I hope you’re fine and still healthy with your family. I am so sorry for being not updated, for having some personal issues. Well, I’m pretty okay now. This past few weeks I only did some activity regarding on my post on Facebook page last month, that’s my suggestions on how to keep being productive while we are stuck at home. And if you haven’t read that yet, kindly click here.

Well, that’s only few (really few? That’s 60 things to do haha!) Alright. If you’re done reading that, I will explain more here and add more details on what I did in that activity. Like what I said a while ago, I finished doing some of those activities while I’m being stuck at home.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Since 2nd week of March, our province placed in quarantine due to #COVID-19 pandemic. And yes, I am one of those people whom always stuck at home and it’s kinda boring (A Total of 100 days yesterday). Imagine, we’re now on the half of the year but still nothing changed. With all of these having free time, we can easily get bored and uninspired at home if we do not have any idea what we can do. We keep getting anxious and worried about what will happen tomorrow. I keep getting anxious because of the news that I read every day. That’s why, I helped my self, I find ways to cope up during this time of COVID-19 pandemic. And thankful, it changed me a lot.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Note: You don’t have to be doing productive things all the time, if all you can do is to relax and chill, then do it. Don’t stressed yourself and it’s okay. 😊⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
If you have ever still found yourself feeling bored during this uncertainty and stuck at home for a long stretch of time like me, I listed 60 things to do to keep yourself occupied during this quarantine. I hope this will help you and I will share some ways on how I did these activities.

Ready?

  1. Make a series marathon. I already watched a lot of Korean Drama series this quarantine. (Planning to have Kdrama reviews/recommendations soon, what do you think? Yay!)⁣⁣⁣
  2. Make a movie marathon. Yes, I did this too. The last movie that I watched is 365 Days, it was just suggested by a friend and I don’t read any background about that before I watch it. No wonder why it goes trending. (Spoiler: If you haven’t watch it, please do! Haha. But make sure you’re 18+)
  3. Make a Disney Movie marathon. Recent watched: Tinkerbell, Brave, Thumbelina etc. (suggest me more please)

  17. I love your ideas! Tinkerbell is one of my favorite Disney movies, but I recently watched Cook Off on Netflix and enjoyed it. Personal stories always interest me.

    Dancing always helps loosen me up and music is a beautiful thing to move to!

  28. What an absolutely wonderful list of suggestions! I’m in the US so even though our government is urging people to go back to normal (eye-roll) I know it’s not safe yet, so I’m staying home as long as possible. I’ve done a lot of things on this list: tv and movie marathons, cleaning and organizing, writing, art, and playing my ukulele. But there are tons of other things I need to try! Thanks for this comprehensive list, I feel very inspired!

    1. Wow. This amazed me. And I laughed on that “eye-roll” hahaha 😂 Other news says that PH have the longest lockdown compare to other country. Others can now go back to work, but the problem here is the transportation. under 21 years old still cannot go outside. Thanks for the reading and it flutters me whenever there’s someone inspired by me. Hope you’re doing fine ☺

      Ps. I will start learning ukulele soon, we have that instrument here but i don’t know how play haha.

  46. Awesome blog and very motivating. We started the Unparalleled Human blog in April 2020 in response to the world wide lockdown. There is so much productivity ans creativity that can be achieved during a time when we are all forced to stay at home.
