Coronavirus Social Isolation: These are 20 things to do in quarantine and stop feeling your beard growing.
If the only thing you have in mind is how am I going to spend these days in captivity for the covid-19 coronavirus? Don’t worry, it’s normal. Quarantine or social isolation is a process in which we all feel impatient and a little desperate.
According to a scientific study from the University of Buffalo in NY, a person in isolation produces less myelin, a lipoprotein that is responsible for accelerating nerve impulses; also responsible for cognitive and emotional behavior.
So if you feel depressed or anxious, activate your brain with activities 20 things to do in quarantine, take note:
1. Deep cleaning
Maybe it is the last thing you want to do, but once you start, be sure that it will be very comforting to know that you finally took the triques out of the closet and fixed the garage.
2. Build Aunt’s Puzzle
We all have that puzzle that Auntie gave us at Christmas. It is time to arm yourself with patience, prepare coffee and sit down to solve it. Do not do it for more than two hours, as you could increase your anxiety levels.
3. Wash the car (if it is inside your garage)
Are you one of those who take it to the car wash? Take advantage of the extra time washing the small cabins where the air conditioning comes out, eliminate that stain on the seats, fix the luggage rack.
4. Clean your cell phone
Even if you have more memory than a supercomputer on your smartphone, it is time to delete those photos and messages that could get you into trouble. The same goes for social networks.
5. Update your playlist
Do you have all the successes of the moment? That is the signal to update you, no one tells you successes of the moment.
6. Learn to dance
Surprise your partner with some new dance passes: our recommendation is that you take the broom and practice with a YT tutorial.
7. Clean all your gym equipment
Soap, chlorine, dry cloth and remove the remains of sweat, dust and bugs. Even if it is not coronavirus, your team could be saving bacteria and dirt that can mess with your health. Let it shine brightly!
8. Board games
If you’re not alone as an oyster, board games are great for two to four hours of fun. Just make sure you have patience with your competitors because there are individuals who don’t know how to lose.
9. Ritual of beauty
Yes, you read well. You may refuse an avocado mask, but if necessary, do it; an exfoliation to hands and feet does not hurt. Especially where calluses appear from the weights. Ask your partner how to do it.
10. Reading classics
Just as you build your muscles, you must also work your mind. And reading is perfect for doing it. Start with the classics that you surely read at school, because it will be easier and faster to read again.
11. Take up your hobbies
Work and routine are enemies of hobbies, they take up all your time and you’ve probably forgotten. It is time to resume and be happy with what you really like.
12. Update your CV
They say that after the health crisis will come an economic one. And although we hope that does not happen, get ready and update your resume.
13. Pro-fe-sio-na-Lí-za-te
Online course platforms continue to operate, so log in, search and sign up for one that will help you be better at your job.
14. Learn how to cook (well)
If the only thing you know how to do is pasta and rice, take advantage of these ‘I stay at home’ times to prepare an authentic three-course meal with dessert included.
15. Learn and repair
In our case, the bathroom exhaust fan was dirty, it worked, but dirty. A tutorial helped us clean it up. It doesn’t make that much noise now. Try it.
16. Join the challenges
If they don’t put your integrity at risk, encourage waste of resources, or make fun of people, do it.
17. clean your shoes
Always misunderstood. Although they are black and ‘you can hardly see the dirt’, remove the laces, remove tabs and clean. Just do it carefully, as some need special cleaning.
18. Write a book
Maybe this is not a task to do in 40 days, but it is one of the things that every man should do in life. You could start with a two-page letter because writing is an acquired pleasure. Try it!
19. Plant a tree
Another thing on every man’s list. If you don’t have a tree on hand, look for seeds, even if they are from the avocado you ate in the morning. You will realize that it is very easy to give birth to your first ‘avocado’.
20. DO NOT INSULATE
Stay informed of the situation in the outside world. We must ask you not to fall into disinformation and look for official figures. Plus, keep in touch with your family and friends via social media, video calls, and the ever-trustworthy old-fashioned phone call.
