It has been a crazy year, the Corona Virus or Covid-19 has caused the world to change. We have seen a variety of drastic alterations to our own lifestyle to prevent illness in our home. We, as a family have been keeping active and engaged and here are my thoughts on the Corona Virus quarantine, ideas to keep busy.
The first few days were OK, it was rainy and cold so being stuck inside wasn’t so bad but we have had to think of things to keep ourselves busy and active. I hope some of these ideas help you beat the blahs and stimulate some creative juices during this rough time of quarantine.

Corona Virus quarantine ideas to keep busy
- Clean, spring clean, or just deep clean everything. No work and confinement is the perfect time to get your chores done. It’s also a good time to box up stuff you haven’t used or don’t need. You can donate or hold a garage sale when the quarantine is lifted for some extra cash.
- Start a blog. Starting a blog whether personal or public is a great idea to share your thoughts and knowledge with the world. Here’s a link to get you going. Start a blog amid chaos
- Foster or adopt a dog or cat. It’s the perfect scenario, because you have time to give them some extra attention while you are working from home or laid off because of the pandemic. You have time to save a life and do something good for your community and maybe find a new best friend. I suggest reading Should I get a dog? This article can also help if your are thinking about a cat. Here is an article on 100 things to do with your dog when you are stuck inside.
Let your creative juices flow
4. Get your creative juices flowing. Start that art or home improvement project you’ve been thinking about forever. Painting, drawing, remodeling, sculpting, sewing, or anything else you might want to do. Now is the time. There are so many options, your creative juices are unlimited!! Have some fun.
5. Have you been wanting to find out what happened to your best friend from high school, a college crush, or just make new friends? Jump on social media and look them up. Facebook has a plethora of private or public groups to find old friends or meet new ones.
6. Get Fit. Take this time to focus on your health. Your excuse of no time for exercise is gone, so make the best of it for you! Start a new exercise program, do some yoga to keep your body flexible and happy. This is your time, make the best of it!
Work on family, marriage or relationships
7. Take this time to work on your family, marriage, or relationships. All relationships could us a little tune up once in awhile. Now you have the time to do it. Do something special for your loved ones, talk to them more, play games or do projects together. Have special meals, or invent fun stay-cations for you and/or your family. Get outside, it definitely changes your brain and makes you feel better. Read this article and learn how trees affect your health. Make this time count!
8. Educate yourself. There are so many wonderful online courses that will help you learn new things, improve what you already know or take you in a whole new direction for your life after quarantine. I have taken several classes through Udemy and gotten certified for art therapy and other great things. Click here to check out classes, programs and discounts on very cool classes.
9. Volunteer. With everything closed down there are still people out there working or volunteering. Many shut ins need help and are depending on volunteers to bring food and supplies to them. Many shelters are still relying on volunteers to get the dogs out for walks. Call your local senior center or shelter and ask what you can do to help your community. Click here for an article on 50 ways to help one another during this hard time.
10. Grow a garden! If the weather is right start a garden outside, if not start inside or in planters that can easily be moved outside when weather permits. You can start inside, or dig up your yard and plant some wonderful veggies and fruits that your family will love. When you think about it, it’s a good time to maybe even learn how to can those vegetables you grow. With shortages in the grocery stores it’s time to learn to be a little self sufficient. Again, Udemy offers classes on gardening, creative cooking, canning and more.
I hope some of the Corona Virus Quarantine, Ideas to Keep Busy help you find some Joy during this hard time in the world.
