6 Productive Things You Can Do At Home During The Pandemic

All of us have been feeling grounded lately. The lockdown life has become the new normal and it is making all events in our life put to a halt. Our new way of life due to Covid-19 is so harsh that it has its toll on our mental health. 

Here are the 6 things you can do at home during the pandemic to make your life more productive and stress-free:

1. Learn new skills.

A lot of people lost their jobs due to the pandemic while some are lucky enough to be able to be working in a company that allows them to work from home. The internet has vast resources for schools or companies offering online courses.

Harvard University, for example, has offered a free online course on their website. These courses do not require big bucks or even a college degree to get into.

2. Upgrade your cooking skills.

Take your culinary skills to the next level by learning new techniques. You do not need to be a Chef to master new techniques. If you are a beginner, you can watch videos all over the internet with a step by steps instructions on how to cook the meal of your choosing.

3. Build your garden at home.

Let your friends get inspiration from you with that Instagramable pretty succulent pot photo. You don’t need to have a big space at home to build one. You can build a succulent garden even with limited space.

If you have a busy schedule at home, a little trick you can do is buy a watering globes who can water your plants for you. When the soil is dry, the air gets into the globes which in turn releases some of the water into the plants. The duration of the watering process depends on the plant's needs, soil quality, and room's humidity.

4. Read Books.

Reading especially for self-development purposes is usually underrated. One interesting fact is, top CEOs of the world read at least 50 books per year.

Reading books is your free gateway to the vast resources of knowledge about learning new things.

5. Declutter your home, declutter your life.

As they say it “a clean home is a happy home”. Your perception is a summary of the kind of environment you live in. Imagine waking up in the working sipping your coffee in a nice, clean table and clean home. Notice how it will affect your day.

Marie Kondo in her book The Illustrated Guide to The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up created a revolutionary method of organizing known as the KonMari Method. This method consists of gathering together everything you own, one category at a time, and then keeping only those things that "spark joy" – as well as choosing a dedicated place to store them. You can also watch her TV Series Tidying up with Konmari.

6. Beauty Transformation Project. 

Surprise your friends when you are back in the office by focusing on your skincare and your health wellness. Take the lockdown life as an opportunity for you to rebuild your confidence by going on an overall skin and body detox.
