So now when many of us are stuck at home, when many businesses and places are closed, it's easy to get bored. I wouldn't say I ever get really bored, I mean how could we? There are lots of stuff we can do. But being at too much makes me a little bit sad. And when I start feeling like that, I love doing things from this list, some of them I didn't do yet, but I want to try. Especially when now it's better to stay home in my country. To be honest here n Ukraine literally nobody wears a mask the recent month since Russia decided to attack North, East, South Ukraine (I'm living in the West but you never know what could happen). I'm still wearing a mask so I'm feeling a little bit more sage, especially, as I still didn't do vaccination as I planned to do it on the day the war started, so my plans were ruined.
I'm still hoping we all will be having a nice summer, but now I have nice activities to suggest to you while we're all waiting for better times.
Clean and organize all your home room by room every day - We often don't have time for a big cleaning or organize chaos we're creating in hurry. Chaos in your home is chaos in your mind. It's so nice to be in a clean room where all stuff are organized and easy to find and look aesthetic. If you're on quarantine, I think it's time for cleaning and organization day. I know cleaning literally all day might be tiring. There is a scheme that works for me. Clean only one room every day. This way you're not in hurry to clean the whole house until the end of the day, you're only focusing on one place and don't skip some corners and hidden places that need cleaning too. I don't know but I always find to things to clean and organize.
Try a 2-3 weeks fitness challenge - Not particularly fitness challenges, but you can try whatever you want like Yoga challenges, running marathons, 5-15k steps a day challenges. You can choose whatever is more comfortable for you but I recommend choosing something that keeps you moving and makes you stronger and healthier. There lots of apps that can help you. I always step counter apps on my phone, also I found many apps that show you exercises, have a timer and have great music for workouts. Plus show calories you lost after workout. Also, there you can track your progress.
Improve your skills - It can be any skills you already have. It might be musical instruments, singing, writing, drawing, painting, sports... The one thing I want to improve now is painting. Because I literally don't know how to paint, my drawing skills are so much better. I want to paint some paintings for my bedroom, I already did one, but I hope to do better ones in near future.
Cook something you wanted to cook but forgot about - Most of us rarely look on things we save. Time to look at your screenshots, Instagram and Pinterest saves. Once (lol) I looked at all my saves and found a lot of shows to watch, food to try, and ideas for DIY. That was fun.
Home studying - As a person who was homeschooling the whole life I know, it's possible to learn something at home only by yourself too. You can look for courses online, some of the really good courses are absolutely free. There are lots of video lessons on Youtube. Things I want to learn about more are History, programming and investment.
Prepare your garden for spring and summer - With every year I get more obsessed with flowers and nature. I am living at an apartment, but I still have place around my windows where all flowers my grandmother and mom planted grow and I hope most of them will bloom in summer. I definitely want to plant a flower, or berries or a pretty plant. At least an indoor plant as I have an empty pot waiting for a cactus or a flower, I don't know yet.
Read books or listen to audiobooks - One book app made all books free for Ukrainians so I saved many books. I already have read one during this time, it's about storytelling, I was never thinking about this topic so it was interesting to learn about.
Try to learn something new this month - I often try in a certain month to focus on a certain thing to learn. For example, painting in August and nail art in the next month. And almost every day I try to learn this subject at least for half of the hour.
Knitting - One thing I started to be interested, I would love to try it, my older sister was never knitting and could knit a cool trendy hat. There are a lot of knitting magazines or knitting schemes on Pinterest so you can always easily find ideas. Seems knitted clothes are very popular recently too.
Plan and write your plans after the quarantine - I literally already wrote how I'll be celebrating a victory of Ukraine over evil people who do terrible terrible stuff in our country.
Painting and repairing furniture and home - I would looove to do this one.
I was thinking to write about at least 20 activities, but I think I rather do a second part!
