Making lists has always been something I’ve done when worry of any kind creeps up and with the recent insanity with the coronavirus, it seems like a good way to stay mildly distracted and feel just a tiny bit more in control. Over here, we’ve been practicing social distancing for about a week and have been only going out when absolutely necessary. I’m definitely a “bright side” kind of gal, so I’ve just been taking stock of all of the positives that more rest and less on the to-do list brings instead of dwelling on all that we can’t control. So here are a few ideas on how I’ll be making the most of the extra time at home.
- Catch up on Project Life/scrapbooking projects
- Shred everything in the shred bin
- Host Zoom meetings or Group FaceTime hangs with friends
- Clean out closet and go through summer clothes
- Go on a photo walk
- Listen to a whole record in one sitting
- Do a face mask
- Take a bubble bath
- Do some yoga (currently watching: Yoga with Adriene)
- Sharpen my photography skills by testing out ISO/Av/exposure on a single subject
- Download a coloring book app on my iPad
- Watch a show on Netflix (current to watch list: The Circle, Love is Blind, Cheer, and Outlander)
- Meditate (using the Headspace App)
- Read all the unread books on my shelf (there are only about 6)
- Try Daily Pages with RUKristin
- Shop local and at our favorite small businesses
- Make a capsule wardrobe for spring
- Go down a YouTube rabbit hole – starting with minimalism videos
