This pandemic brings a lot of time to yourself, but that is in no way a bad thing. In all honesty, I needed something like this to happen (not to this extent, however) so I could catch up on all the big and little things I have put off for another day. Well, the day(s) has arrived and you have nothing but time on your hands, so get to work!

Instead of waking up each morning dreading the day of boredom you are going to have, make a list of things to do. Whether that be around the house, both inside and outside, or learning a new hobby that you have always wanted to pick up. Even with limited places to go, there are still a number of things you can do.

I for one have taken this time to clean my entire room, top to bottom. I have rearranged my closest, moved furniture around my room, hung up new curtains and shower curtains and even repainted my desk. All those things are worth at least a couple of days of staying busy.

When the sun is out, you have even more options of things to do just outside your door. I have taken this time to do some landscaping around my house to spruce it up with spring arriving. If you think you have nothing to do landscaping-wise, plant some flowers or make a garden, this way you are staying busy and giving yourself a little tan. I have gotten the niche of painting and decided to clean up my deck and repaint some of the chipped areas on it to pass my time. I even ordered tiki torches to place around it.

Some other things you could do on a nice day is going for a run. Who said you can't stay fit with no gyms because there is an entire gym outside and to make it even better, it's free! I have never seen more people outside than I do right now during this time. People are out walking their dogs three times a day or taking in the beauty of nature by going on a walk. With the parks being closed, it does make it a little more difficult finding places to go while outside, but if you do not have a sidewalk to run or walk on, drive somewhere that does.

There is no excuse to wake up and die of boredom during this time because there are endless amounts of things to do, even on rainy days. Don't waste your day dreading every second. Catch up on some work or watch a new show you've been dying to see. When you think you have run out of things to do, think again and just look around and I bet you will find something in no time.

Whether you are an early bird or a late sleeper, just remember that there are plenty of things to keep you busy all the while still having fun in your home. Stay safe and have fun!
