I came to this blog after several months' absense, and saw that there were a lot of comments! YAY! Someone actually reads this blog! I have an audience! Wow!
It was all SPAM.
Great.
*sigh*
Well... maybe someone sees something here anyway.
So, today I tumbled over "50 Ways to Spend Time Alone" on Pinterest
And the reactions were... hmm...
"need more like these to survive quarantine"
"Right I'm Sooper bored!!!!"
How? Why? There isn't enough time for me to do all I want to do and I'm practically bedridden!
Ok... here's some other things you can do:
1) play "floor is lava"
2) give yourself a manicure or pedicure - or both
3) try different facial masks
4) try different reading challenges. I recommend "around the world in books" - find out information about the country and culture the book is from, cook something from that culture etc.
There is also a reading challenge where one is supposed to do an activity connected to the book, for example read a book about a bus ride and then take a bus ride. Read and Go
Create your own reading challenge
5) learn a language
6) start an art journal
7) make a junk journal of all the junk mail that comes this week
8) Learn a new skill
- for example, choose one from https://diy.org
9) Go to bucketlist.org and pick one
10) Find an interesting tv series in foreign language (foreign to you - I mean, English is my second language, and thus could be counted as "foreign", but most tv series I follow are in English, so it's not foreign to me :-D)
11) Find a new YouTube channel
12) Learn to read tarot cards or another divination method (No, it's not Satanic or supernatural or paranormal or anything like that. It's a pile of pictures based on common Western symbolism, and is all about your subconscious and free association.)
13) Learn to give massage
14) Take a 30 day challenge
15) Take the 100 species challenge (Make a list of 100 plant species found within walking distance from your home)
Bonus points if you learn the usage of these plants; if they are edible, and how they are eaten; if they can be used to dye fibers, or other crafts, are they medicinal etc.
16) Learn to draw
17) Learn about the history, culture and attractions in your home area.
18) Write fan fiction
19) Find a new band
Or listen through the whole production of a famous band you aren't that familiar with.
20) Make home cosmetics. Bath bombs are easy and fun.
21) Learn to make 10 drinks
22) Learn to make barista art
23) Learn card tricks and coin tricks
24) Learn origami
Learn to fold a crane by heart and fold 1000 cranes
25) Learn a skill that looks good on your resumé - that makes you more employable
26) Think about what advice you would give to your younger self. Think how it would have changed your life. What would you have done differently? Would it have changed something better in your life now? Can you change it now?
27) Leave 10 positive, encouraging, nice comments on different blogs or vlogs
28) Learn to bake bagels
29) Choose something on Pinterest and do it; a recipe, a craft tutorial, a pattern
30) Learn to sew, knit, crochet, or some other such thing
31) Learn carpentry
32) Learn to sing your favorite song
33) Make a meal from scratch
34) Learn to make hot sauce
35) Learn to make chili
36) Play a board game - with yourself
Develop a board game
37) Learn to find 10 constellations on the night sky and go find them
38) Write the best, most amazing letter you can imagine - to yourself
39) Read a newspaper. An actual paper newspaper. Cut out the most interesting articles.
Use the rest of the newspaper to make some craft, like basket or papermache
40) plant the seeds from the fruits you eat
41) Come up with a project you’d like to pursue
42) Learn tai chi
43) Play a game you loved as a child.
If you don't remember or didn't play any games, look at old children's games and play some of them.
I remember playing wall ball for hours... all by myself. I was a very lonely kid, being the youngest in my family, living on the countryside. The closest neighbor was several miles away.
44) Lay puzzle
45) Make a zoo of paper (how to make simple paper animals)
You can, of course, learn to whittle and make wooden animals, or make animals of clay (for example salt dough, though that isn't very good for that purpose)
46) Make a collage
47) Find a swing and swing
48) Learn to play the guitar
49) Learn to dance
50) Sing karaoke
Some more good ideas:
