Staying at Home 101

So there is a virus circulating and because humans are the carriers, we have all been advised to stay home and avoid unnecessary physical contact with other people. Staying at home all day can get really boring and unproductive especially if you are alone. So here are some tips to keep you sane and productive during this period.

There are probably a couple of things you have promised yourself that when you had the time you would get around to doing them. Well now you have some time.

First, don’t throw away your goals simply because you can’t go outside. Re-evaluate them, which ones can you achieve from home with the help of the internet. If you didn’t have any goals before, that’s fine. You can start by setting goals. With the time you have now, what would you like to achieve?

Now that you have your goals all straightened out, you need to make a schedule. What are the activities you need to carryout to help you achieve your goals? Do you need to spend time on Udemy learning? Do you need to spend some time writing or creating content for your blog?

When creating your schedule, don’t forget to stay healthy, add things like exercising to your schedule. You could download apps to help you with routines and some of them even have alarms. I recently downloaded Yoga Workout from playstore and so far it has been great. This will help you stay active even while at home.

Use your alarms. It is easy to lose track of time when you are at home. Set alarms to keep you aware and to help you stay on track with your schedule. You might need to set up a work area, a part of the house where you work. It should be free from distractions. This should help you concentrate.

Don’t lose yourself on Social Media. Now that it seems the physical world is on pause, it is very easy to lose yourself on the virtual one. This is sometimes unproductive. Always ask yourself, how is my being on Social Media helping my quality of life? If you are getting too hooked up, you can try scheduling times with no social media.

Also don’t forget to add personal hygiene to the schedule, some people once they have nowhere to go would rather not take their bath nor brush their teeth. Don’t be a pig. Bath regularly and stay clean.

Corona Virus can not move on its own, it needs people to carry it along. Stay at home and don’t give it a carrier. Also stay focused and productive.
