Ok I get it, everyone is going absolutely crazy during quarantine.
But what I don't get is why?
(Except for you people with kids, I get that).
I do get that this is a scary, uncertain, confusing, and stressful time. So why add on to all of that boredom.
Plus how can you be bored when there are just so many wonderful and exciting things that you could be doing!
I can not believe the amount of people who do nothing but complain about work, and as soon as work is canceled and they are allowed to remain home, they do nothing but complain about that.
If you can't relax/ have fun/ do some thinking/ get things done while at your home, then you are doing it wrong!
So take a look at my list of 100 things to do in quarantine, and try and make the best of this time- use it for self improvement, have fun, and relax.

1. Do a no spend month. If this is not the perfect time for a no spend month, then there isn't one. Make a game of it and involve everyone in your house. Once this is all over, you can continue doing a no spend month a couple times a year.
2. Play board games.
3. Write letters.
4. Make phone calls.
5. Volunteer at a local animal shelter (check with local laws and the shelter first).
6. Learn a language.
7. Do a deep clean of your entire house; scrub the walls, dust the vents, scrub the toilet, the works.
8. Exercise!
9. Garden.

10. Adopt an animal. Check with local shelters, but I know that some have waived adoption fees. Plus, this is the most perfect time to welcome a new critter into your home since you will be around a lot to help potty train, and get the little guy used to the family.
11. Find out your geneology.
12. Do all those projects around your house that you say you will do "someday". Well guess what, someday is here! Let's get to it!
13. Journal.
14. Write a song.
15. Have an at home spa day. There are plenty of inexpensive ways you can pamper yourself at home.
16. Give your pet an at home spa day.
17. Play hide and go seek.
18. Paint.
19. Print out all those pictures on your phone and make a photo album.

to sign up for Robinhood [which is the app I use for investing] and we both get a free stock!).
25. Clean out the garage.
26. Teach an old dog new tricks.
27. Check your smoke detector batteries.
28. Delete all those out of focus and blurry photos, and text threads on your phone.
29. Make a pile of stuff to donate (though be warned, I know that some [I'm not sure about all] thrift stores aren't taking donations right now, so the pile may have to sit in a corner for a while).

33. Give your pet your full attention, and lots of love.
34. Drink lots of water. I know that time is a big factor why I don't usually drink enough water. When I'm at work I don't have time to be nonstop chugging water, not to mention jogging off to the bathroom every 20 minutes! So while you're in quarantine this is a great time to be drinking all the water. It's so good for you!
35. Read blogs (hint hint, I have 8 years worth of posts on here!). I also have a list of my favorite blogs on the bottom of my right-hand sidebar.
36. Do daily affirmations.
37. Have a dance party.
38. Write poetry.
39. Hacky sack.

70. Learn to play an instrument. Learning a new instrument takes a lot of time, so you will be plenty busy for a while. I taught myself guitar by looking up chords online. So until you can get to a lesson, that will have to do (plus I'm sure there are plenty of online lessons).

We have been given an amazing opportunity to slow down and have some alone time with our thoughts. Definitely do some fun things during this time, but please do not miss out on this opportunity to sit in the stillness and ask yourself some real questions. I definitely recommend my book, "Creating Your Dream Life; a Road Map" to assist you in this oh so important task. In my book I ask you all the questions that you need to answer in order to figure out and live your Dream Life. Your future self thanks you for taking this step.
