10 Productive Things To Do Whilst At Home
“Magic happens when you don’t give up, even though you want to. The universe always falls in love with a stubborn heart.”
1. Read something that you normally wouldn’t give additional thought to, or on a subject you may not have been interested in! You never know what type of perspective you could gain! If reading isn’t your thing, take in a podcast!
(Check out DvF’s “In Charge” HERE!)
2. Download the “Houseparty” app and play fun games like “Heads Up” while video chatting with your friends!
3. Movie marathon! That’s right, whatever you want to watch from the break of dawn to whenever the heck you feel! (No judgement!)

4. Revamp your resume! Get it down to one page if you haven’t already, utilize new font, or create a whole different layout! Don’t be afraid to send it out, especially to your dream job or internship. One never knows when or where opportunity may arise! Create a Linked In profile and showcase your skills!
5. Consider your finances if you haven’t already, use this time as an opportunity to save, file your taxes become more financially literate, and/ or create a manageable budget for your present and future!
6. Play with all of that makeup you have stowed away! Throw some out, make new palettes with your older stuff, just play! You can even record your process and make a video if you like the results!
7. Have a spa day! That’s right, whip up some fruit infused water, get your robe on, put on a hair, hand, foot, and face mask and cuddle up on your couch! Take off your nail enhancements, change your polish colours, play some calming sounds, and meditate! It’s time to relax and make the best of each moment!
** If you have a pet (or even a significant other) give them a spa day! **
8. If you can shop right now, support a local business or utilize Poshmark, Depop, Relovv, or your favourite resell app to support someone who may really need you to make a purchase. This way you can rebuild your wardrobe and slay all day when outdoor life resumes! You could even sell your own items as well, make way for a capsule wardrobe!
9. Start something from home that you know you will be able to keep up with when we’re all back to what “normal” looks to us. Whether that’s an IGTV series, You Tube channel, blog, Tik Tok, podcast, Reddit post, Pinterest page, a novel, a short film, an art project, whatever sparks your passion and creativity that is sustainable to your lifestyle — DO IT!
10. Stay active, home workouts may not be your thing but if you have a yard, balcony, veranda, or even a non-populated park or school near by get out there and do a little stretch or even just a walk. It’s important to free yourself right now!
I’ve been loving All Things Alison’s workouts on her Instagram! They’re super easy to follow and she gives the best alternatives if you need a lighter option!
Peloton is also providing 90 day free trials of their classes, check it out HERE!
Extra: If you’re at home with your family, roommates, or friends plan some “theme” days or meals! A major Tik Tok trend has been hibachi grill dinners, having something to look forward to definitely passes the time and makes everyone happy! Invest in and cultivate the in-person relationships that you are fortunate to have!
