Ways to spend quality time in this lockdown!

In the present situation where nations across the globe are disheveled with the pandemic, all of us are spending time in the lockdown. It is of utmost importance that we take care of ourselves in this hard time and spend our time judiciously to prepare for tomorrow. Schools and colleges have been closed; this leaves students with a lot of time at home. There has been an increase in the number of virtual classes; however, many students are finding it hard to spend their time locked inside their homes. To combat the mundane feeling and be more productive students should come up with a power-packer timetable rather than spending all their time in front of the television or on social media platforms.


Students should continuously try to be productive and learn new things as they come in their ways. The main reason behind this is that students have a lot of energy, stamina, and enthusiasm as compared to an adult. Though it seems hard to achieve, there are a few ways with which you can easily spend your time without having to step out of your homes.

1. Yoga for detoxifying bodies and soul


We all know yoga can do wonders. But did you know that yoga can help you improve your strength and agility that helps to build up your immunity? In times like this, it is essential to stay healthy, both mentally and physically. Yoga can help you achieve both, as it also helps an individual to destress and relax. Don't forget to take a nutritional diet to provide energy to your body.

2. Grow plants


It is easier to destroy things than to build them. Therefore we need to focus on building things around us. The same goes for plants; you can use your spare time to grow indoor plants such as tulsi and aloe vera. It is easier to find these plants in your household.

3. Share your chorus at home


This has given everyone a chance to spend some time with their beloved ones and family. Use this time to have more conversations with your family, and help them around with the household work. This will make them feel good and relax in this tensed situation.

4. Paint


Art healing is real. Painting is widely used across the globe as a healing therapy. Engage yourself in painting to focus your mind on something good—this can help you to calm down. Not just painting, you can engage yourself with drawing, doodling, sketching or anything else you are comfortable with.

5. Watch good movies and documentaries

Television is good, but it should be watched in the limit. Also, don't keep watching the same thing over and over again. Explore new areas and interests and watch inspiring documentaries to educate yourself of the history and culture. If you have an interest in movies, then you can pick a classic movie that might help you to widen your perspective about life and living.

6. Read Books

This is an excellent time to prepare your bucket-list for reading books. You can use this opportunity to engage healthily with your peer-group. Share your bucket list with your friends on social media and challenge them to finish a book in a specified period of time. Additionally, if you like to write, you can share your review about your favorite book on social media for others to read and take up this healthy habit of reading.

7. Learn a new language

Learning a new language adds up to your soft skills. Moreover, it gives you an edge over others. Learning a new language is fun, wherein you don't learn how to speak their language but learn a great deal about their culture and traditions.

8. Go old school

Ask your parents what indoor games they use to play in their childhood. This will give you a chance to engage with them more, and you might end having extra-fun and smiles!

As Rajesh Bhatia, the founder of Treehouse would say, "It is up to us how we want to spend our time. A careful check on your daily routine can make a large difference in career growth."
