The novel coronavirus, now known as the coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19, has put many lives at risk. It has also radically changed the lives of people across the globe. Inarguably, it has created a new norm in society, forcing people to keep away from each other, wear masks outside of their houses, and to stay at home whether they like it or not. Known to many, it has proven to be a deadly opponent in a silent war that people were forcefully thrown into. Nation after nation have closed their borders in an effort to fight against this deadly disease, but this virus has not shown signs of stopping any time soon.
If your area is one of the places plagued by this deadly coronavirus disease and you have been placed under quarantine for your safety and the safety of everyone within the community, you might probably be already at your wits end on how else you can fight boredom and stay positive all through these trying times. Before you totally lose yourself, here are some tips on how to adapt to staying at home during coronavirus quarantine.
Create a Daily Routine
List down the things that you would love to do every day. Include mundane activities that you already usually do before the quarantine period, like doing household chores, training your pets, or playing video games. You can also organize daily challenges for people in your household. The challenges may vary from day to day, and you may even take a video of each person performing the challenges for viewing afterwards. Certainly, it will be a lot of fun!
Make Reading a Part of Your Daily Routine
If you have not read a book for quite some time now because you had been busy with work, now is the time to start reading again. Organize your book shelf and see if you have motivational books that can lighten your spirit during these trying times. You can also read stories on Kindle or on any apps online. If you have a child, you can also make reading a part of your daily bonding routine.
Learn New Skills and Discover New Opportunities

Do not be afraid to try out new things. The Internet has a lot of resources you can use to learn new skills. It also offers a lot of opportunities waiting to be explored. You can use these resources not only to avoid boredom during home quarantine but also to discover a new you.
Get That Toned Body You Have Always Wanted!
Make exercise a part of your daily habit. It might be quite hard at the start, but once you get the hang of it, you will learn to love and long for it. If getting that beautifully sculpted body seems like a million miles away in your imagination before the quarantine, perhaps you can make it work this time around.
Home quarantine is not a reason for you to stop dreaming. On the contrary, it can be a reason for you to make things happen.
