Learn a new language

A new language, apart from social contact, can make you an engaged listener, stretch your thinking skills and help you better understand new concepts.

It’s also nice to know the new language or also if you are planning to go to some other city or country after lockdown. You can start preparing that language from now onwards.

There is no question that being able to talk easily in the local language will pave the way for you and help break the ice with many of them, which will make life more fun every day. If you already know the language of your country, a new language certainly would give you new friends.

It is refreshing and fun to learn a new language and there are many apps available that will help you to learn it.

Coding

It may not be available to all IT workers but you will definitely use this to improve your current skills. For someone new to coding, you may start online classes where you will be directed via a step-by-step instruction.

Calligraphy

Calligraphy refers to the visual art of writing.
It’s all about precision and ability and on the internet, there are videos again that can also support an absolute beginner. Now is the ideal time to catch up with your quarantine correspondence through the dying art of letter writing.

The finished works that look beautiful at this time, putting a little smile on your face.

Cooking

If you know how to cook, then It is a lifesaving skill. In this quarantine cooking will be the best thing you can do and improve your cooking skills.

Having this time to learn how to cook will save you some potential expense, keep you safe and even make you less homesick, and if you are stuck without help, you can save your life in times like today.

Makeup or Nail Art

These days, makeup is rarely worn and the time has come to finally give skincare the attention it deserves.

Due to lockdown, there is a restriction on salon visits but not our ability to feel beautiful.

So it’s the best time to try your hands on makeup as many you must be struggling in the self-care.
Check out some good youtube makeup tutorials and buzz about learning how to paint nails or some funky nail art, braid hair, shape eyebrows, etc. is non-stop.

Music

Many people can regret not playing a musical instrument at a younger age.
It’s so difficult to find the time to pick it up as an adult, or put in the hours of practice it takes to make progress.
Now is the time to try and learn the guitar, or whatever instrument you’ve ever wanted to play.

Sketching

Whether it’s painting, drawing or colouring, art is a wonderful activity to take up during lockdown. Whether or not you think of yourself as a creative person, you should give learning to paint a chance.

Check some good articles or online videos on painting tips and try your hands on paintbrush or colours.
The joy of seeing something you have drawn in front of you is profoundly inspiring, no matter how fine it may be.

Meditation

With social distancing, this is a perfect time to turn inward and practice meditation on mindfulness to alleviate panic and anxiety. Meditation has many mental and physical health effects, such as relief from stress, lower blood pressure and improvements in the immune system, according to the National Center for Holistic and Integrative Health.
Utilize your 10-15 min in meditation and you will more refreshed and calm.

If there is nothing else in mind, pick a book and read. If food is body nourishment then knowledge is soul nourishment. Even the advantages of some kind of awareness never hurt. So, get this time to good use and know something.

Stay Home and Stay Safe!

Build a Permanent Work Space

Seek to find a quiet and convenient place to work where you can associate with your job and leave when you’re off the clock — where means getting off the sofa, and probably going out of bed.

Set Real Work Hours

The advantage of working from home is you can schedule your working hours flexibly.
Using your deep focus to zoom in on your assignments. Keep on reading to see how to efficiently plan your time.
At the end of the day impose a hard cap. Distance from the job, so you’re not working nonstop.

Discover Your High Productivity Periods

Find out when you are most productive and design your work schedule around your times of peak productivity.

At different times of the day, each person is the most successful. For instance, some people are people in the morning, and they are most efficient and concentrated during the morning hours. For others, the evenings are their most active time in the workday.


Make To-Do Lists

Start your day by determining the day’s goals. Stick to that as you make your task list. Only jump into your email is tempting, but with a little extra concentration, you can push the needle from home when you are working.

Set goals and time limits for each task. Once you complete each task, cross it off the list. This basic technique is both efficient and accomplishable.

Exercise & Stretch Regularly

Exercise naturally stimulates endorphins, which enhances levels of satisfaction, pleasure, and motivation that are all important to productivity.

Stretching frequently helps you maintain a healthy stance. As a minimum, extend the entire day so that you don’t get tired or hamper your quality of life.

We recommend exercising in the morning because there are fewer complaints and better payouts all day long.


Eat Healthy Lunch & Snacks

The best part of WFH is that we have full access to the kitchen. So, when it’s time for lunch or a snack break, we are immediately drawn to the usual snacks, such as chips, cookies, or leftover pizza.

Take Short  Breaks

WFH can be lonely, so take some tea or coffee breaks and keep talking to people so you do not feel isolated.
Or come out to your balconies or roof and enjoy nature for some time.

Use Video Chat

Working from home can get pretty lonely, especially if you are single or live alone but you can’t help because of the situation.

Make it a point to chat with colleagues, team members.
There are many video chat applications available today, such as:

• Skype
• WhatsApp
• Zoom

Depending on the nature of your work, you could end up spending almost all of your day on video conferences chatting with your team. We recommend working in a well-lit room as it brings out your best features.

Listen to Music

Depending on the nature of your work, it helps to turn on some background music. Spotify is a great streaming service that lets you pick moods for focus and productivity. Since you’re working at home, you don’t want it too loud or distracting — ensure you can quickly mute it to take a business call.

It’s an extremely unstable time for most of us. Take care of yourself and others, and remember to wash your hands!
