How to spend your time creatively when you stay at home

For some, staying at home means rest and relaxation. For some others, however, it is boredom and confinement.

In other words, there are people who can’t stand it when they set foot in the house. Of course, it is not the fault of the house or the people who make it up. Temperament and temperament are to blame.

In other words, if you love your home, but you can’t stand being locked in it, it’s no one’s fault. Not even you. It’s just your temperament, the uniqueness of your character.

In this case your home is outside. You like to go out, you feel comfortable with people and you can’t stand the stuffy things. And anyway, our house is more of a place to relax than an after club.

But there are cases when you need to stay home. Be forced to stay inside. As happened, for example, in quarantine. Then what do you do? Are you going crazy?

No, of course not.

There are ways to keep busy. And we are not referring to the familiar activities, such as watch a movie or read a book. We have more imaginative things to offer you.

The 10 sentences

#1 Binge-watched an entire series

So start with a series you’ve always wanted to watch, but didn’t have time for. Stock up on the essentials (chips, ice cream, soft drinks, pizza…), put on a jumpsuit or pajamas, close the shutters and lights and curl up on your sofa.

We would suggest, since you’re doing what you’re doing, if you can bear it, to watch the whole series or at least honestly the first cycle of episodes.

#2 Cook like there’s no tomorrow

A good suggestion is to rediscover which flavors you prefer or find new ones.

Download recipes, pick up cookbooks and of course make a brave and generous foray into the supermarket. And then start cooking.

You can even invite friends and relatives to help you in this effort. To help by cooking and eating and washing the dishes and pots.

#3 Become an expert at something

In this stay at home, the time can become very constructive. Find something you’d like to learn, a skill you’d like to develop and go for it.

I, for example, would like to learn everything about wines. the varieties, PDOs, what goes with what and all that good stuff.

There are online tutorials, books and plenty of internet to help you in this new occupation.

#4 Read a lot

Yes, it may be a banal activity, but if you do it with exaggeration it is not. It becomes a new experience.

Buy a lot of books, as much as you can afford both in terms of weight and money, make coffee or pour a glass of wine and start reading.

#5 Deal with apps

It is a good solution to not get bored, but also to do something useful.

Start with a deep clean on your device and then download whatever you want. From Tik-Tok, to games, it completely drains your storage space.

#6 Make your photos

Surely somewhere in your drawers there are photos from your childhood, your teenage years and maybe even your later life.

It’s time to line them up and organize them into albums. A little music and a little wine will accompany you on this beautiful journey of memories.

#7 Do crafts

The child’s time has come.

You can paint, color mandala blocks or make things with clay. Just choose what you like best and get started. You will see how much you will enjoy it.

#8 Make your home a spa

Perfect opportunity to take care of yourself.

Do nails, hair removal, apply masks, do scrubs and anything else that comes to your mind. In general, spoil yourself with grooming.

#9 Talk on the phone

It’s time to listen live and not just text, with your loved ones.

Call and talk for hours. Gossip, make jokes, find out in detail everything you’ve missed. It is an opportunity to restore your relationship with your friends and family.

#10 Do something different

Now you can enjoy your home. Go out and sit on your balcony or in your yard, make a radical change in decoration. In short, do something different now that you have time and can.
