50 Things to Do at Home: #stayhome #flattenthecurve
With cases rising so fast around the world, the responsibility of stopping coronavirus lies upon each and every one of us, at individuals, to stay at home. If you’re all cooped up at home and totally not used to it or bored out of your brains, it’s totally ok! Think of it as a little blessing in disguise, that we’ve finally been forced to take some time to slow down, pick up all those unfinished projects, roadmap our life plan and work on ourselves.
Don’t worry, I’ve got you - here’s a list of 50 things that you can do around the house. Most of them are things I’ve personally got on my list as well!
