Top 10 PRODUCTIVE THINGS TO DO WHILE QUARANTINED

Hey Quarantiners! I hope you're doing well. 

The Global Pandemic has got us all stuck in our homes and quarantine ourselves in order to stay safe. While this is essentially the need of the hour, this has also gotten us into a hazy situation where at times life seems to get boring & stagnated. 

From a brighter perspective, we now have what we wanted all our lives but somehow couldn't have enough of - TIME, Isn't it? We have all the time in the world, all to ourselves and that actually gives us a brilliant opportunity to do all that we always wanted to do but had no time for.
Now, one may choose to while away all this precious time or simply make the most of it.

Remember, Productivity Is A Choice. And Now Is The Time We Choose Productivity Over Procrastination. 

 Therefore, I've meticulously penned down some super exciting and productive things to do to keep us going during this quarantine period. Let's dive in! 


 1. DE- CLUTTER -

 Everything. From your space, to your phone, to your wardrobe. On top of all, de-clutter your mind. It helps so much to have a mind that's clutter free as it makes one see things with clarity which in turn helps in making rational decisions.

Get rid of all that no longer serves you. Keep all that you need to. Not only will this keep everything well organised and in the right place, it will get you rid of any insignificant stuff you might be storing.  

2. TURN YOUR PHONE INTO A PRODUCTIVITY MACHINE -

Your phone can be transformed into a significantly powerful tool that can help you stay productive in these Quarantine days and the days to come. It's quite a simple task indeed, all you have to do is - Delete any invaluable data and apps from your phone. 

 Install apps that help you boost productivity and help you stay motivated all through the day. Some of these apps can be - a planner, a fitness tracker app, an audio book app, educational apps, finance apps, business apps, lifestyle apps, etc.

Pro Tip : Make sure to keep the most productive apps on the homescreen so that you are always reminded to stick with your tasks. Apps you may want to install to boost productivity - Audible, Evernote, Ted, Duolingo, GoogleFit, etc. Also, it is always a good idea to turn off any notifications which may be distracting.  

3.  SIGN UP FOR AN ONLINE CLASS - Learn Something New

TIME INVESTED IN LEARNING SOMETHING NEW IS NEVER WASTED. 

There are plenty of online classes available which are an excellent way to hone skills or even develop some new ones! 

Apart from this, webinars on a varied range of topics are being hosted which give an interactive learning experience and an opportunity to learn from experts. Totally worth a try! 

You may want to consider enrolling into an online course, these courses significantly help boost your job profile as well. Some of the most trusted platforms for enrolling into a course are - CourseEra, Udemy, SkillShare, Simplilearn, etc. 

4.TRY NEW CUISINES - Bake Something New 

What's a better time to cook and savour on some new and exotic flavours? You may want to try out food from around the world during this period and there's plenty of sources to get the recipes from.

Research says that the food you eat affects your mood. Good food can always make you feel happy! 

5. SPEND TIME WITH YOUR LOVED ONES-  

 Quarantine period gives us an excellent opportunity to spend time with the ones we love. Take this time to play board games, cook a new recipe, sneak into your family album, share your thoughts, watch movies & shows together, connect and catch up with old friends, etc. Do all that you'd want to do with your family and friends. 





6. PRACTISE YOGA - 

Did you know Sun Salutations are equivalent to a full body workout? 
Asanas (poses) in Sun Salutation involves almost every muscle in the body and therefore, are considered as a complete exercise. Practicing Sun Salutations can help improve muscle strength, flexibility and built general endurance. 

Spend some time tuning into yourself with Yoga and Meditation. Not only does it calm the mind but also acts as soul food which makes your soul happy. You may want to join an online Yoga class or practice Yoga all by yourself. 

7. GET CREATIVE 

There are plenty of ways in which one can fuel their creativity in this Quarantine period. Explore and find new ways of doing what you do already. Get into learning a new craft. Do more of what makes you happy, this could be - playing a musical instrument, creating your own rendition of your favourite songs, painting your very own masterpiece, starting a YouTube channel or a Blog, etc. 

8. BECOME A BETTER VERSION OF YOURSELF- 

Mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, become a better version of yourself each day. Think about where you exactly want to see yourself and what ways would lead you to becoming that version of yourself, then say no to everything that does not resonate with your plans and goals. You may educate yourself more on something you always wanted to learn such as, learn a new language or a new craft. Read a book, listen to Podcasts and watch documentaries on the topics which interest you. The goal is to level up in any and every way possible every single day. 


9 INDULGE IN SELF CARE - 

Self care is not Selfish, it is essential to practice self care. 

Indulge in a self care session every  once in a while. Treat yourself to a nourishing DIY facemask while sipping on some green tea and reading your favourite book or watching a movie. You may want to sit in meditation and reflect upon your thoughts. Self care is different to everybody. Do what feels good. 





10.  BE GRATEFUL -

Express gratitude for everything that you have in this moment. Be happy and stay optimistic, know that everything happens for a good reason and know that one day everything will make perfect sense. Being grateful for what you have makes you content, which in turn, boosts your productivity in what you do. 




Take this opportunity and make each day productive by doing what you love!
