Whether it is contacting old friends, playing with your pet or exercising at home, there are many ways to fill your time while practicing social distancing or in quarantine.
Here are ways to make the best use of your time at home:
Work from home
As this is what the government has suggested, most offices have practiced remote working from home. Even if you are working from home, there are several ways you can stay productive and responsible to your office at the same time.
First, you can maintain your regular hours. If you usually start at 8 am, then start the same time while working remotely. Second, stick to your routine. Wake up, shower, then pick a comfortable outfit to work with at home. Third, warn people around you when you need to work. This will separate your working hours from your time at home, minimizing distractions and generating productivity. Fourth, follow office hours. Working remotely does not mean that you will work continuously without breaks or rest. Taking breaks at lunchtime and in-between is perfectly fine as well.
Clean your house
Since social distancing means that you have more time to yourself at home, it can be the perfect time to clean your home. Cleaning your home has many benefits, including taking time off your work which could reduce stress. Not only that, but a clean home would result in a healthier state of mind for a dirty house is filled with bacteria that can harm you.
