We weren’t expecting to make our first blog post about a pandemic and we would much rather keep what we have had planned, but a lot of plans have changed throughout the city. Instead of speaking further about the negative in our current situation, let’s focus on the positives! Here’s a list of what you can still do during social distancing:
1. Go outside
2. Take your dog for a walk
3. Play board games
4. Watch movies
5. Read a book
6. Take a virtual museum tour
7. Tackle a large puzzle
8. Make arts and crafts
9. If you’re missing sports, watch a sports documentary
10. Learn to knit or crochet
11. Binge watch a new show
12. Play with your kids
13. Video chat
14. Go for a hike
15. Do yoga
If you’re one of those who are working from home during these times, try some of the activities from this list to keep yourself busy or to just start a new hobby.
