During the Covid 19 pandemic like this, people are limited to doing activities outside the home or physical distancing (or previously known as social distancing). Especially for areas in Indonesia that have implemented large-scale social restrictions (PSBB). As a result, we will spend more time at home until this pandemic ends.
Some of us do work from home and school from home. These two things allow the spread of the corona virus not to spread widely. But it is not uncommon for us to feel bored at home all the time.
To get rid of that boredom, it is better to do fun and productive activities. Therefore, let's see what fun activities you can do at home during the current physical distancing.
1. Read a Favorite Book
Try opening the bookshelf again that you may not have touched for a long time. There is nothing wrong with reading old books. Or have you bought a new book but haven't read it yet? Maybe now would be a good time to read it. Reading books can refresh your mind. You can read your favorite books such as novels, comics to self development books. If you have read a collection of books that you have or want to read other books, you can read and download e-books that are already on the internet such as the National Library. Eits, but the e-books must be legal ones, not pirated ones
2. Cooking
Now you can do whatever you want because you have a lot of time at home. Try new recipes you find on the internet and tutorials on Youtube or Tiktok. You can be creative with recipes from other countries or those that are currently popular or for those of you who are not good at cooking, there is nothing wrong with trying easy recipes first. One of the recipes you can do is Dalgona Coffee which has gone viral on social media. Who knows, after trying some easy recipes, you will love and become good at cooking. After the pandemic is over, maybe you could join the Indonesian Master Chef 😆
3. Online Shopping
Because now you are physical distancing, online shopping is a solution to meet your daily needs. Don't worry, now it's complete, no less like at the mall. Various platforms from social media, online shop to e-commerce are your place to shop. Even many conventional traders in the market have started marketing their products through social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp. By shopping online, you are helping their business too. Don't forget to check the promos and discounts that are available every day so you can shop economically. Eits, don't let you go crazy and hedonistic shopping online because of the tempting promos.
4. Watching Series
Often miss the latest series that has just been released? It must be annoying if you don't follow the series. Now you can watch your favorite series marathon without getting hindered. You can start a Netflix series or continue a delayed Korean drama. You can also watch old movies that are your favorites. But, don't forget to do the job too.
5. Doing Delayed Hobbies or New Activities
At this moment, you can resume your delayed hobby. For example, hobbies are drawing, painting, making crafts, knitting, editing videos and others. With this you can hone your skills again. Oh yeah, you can also experiment with new activities that you've never tried. For example, just for fun joining the TikTok video which is currently popular. Who knows, by trying this activity you can find the talents that have been hidden so far.
6. Doing a Donation to the Other
In times of crisis like this, many people feel the impact of Covid 19. By setting aside money or providing assistance, you can ease their burden. There have been many platforms that have become intermediaries to channel donations to people affected by this pandemic, one of which is Kitabisa.com. Let's do good with others to fight the corona virus. Hopefully, this Corona will end quickly.
