Ways to utilize your time during lockdown

The whole world is going through a very tough situation and many people are locked down in their homes for lots of time. So this can be a good opportunity to make productive use of this time. Here I will share some ways to do so.

# 1. Spend some good time with your family

It was found that people did not get time to spend with their family, but now this is the time where you can talk to your near and dear ones, when you can know them better, talk to them about their problems and try to solve them. These are very tough and people need love and support. In some countries, the situation is very critical. People are losing their near and dear ones. If you are with your family members, you are lucky to have them. Make them feel special and let them know how much they are important.

# 2. Learn a new musical instrument

If you are a music lover and always wanted to learn to play a musical instrument but didn't get time, so this is the time to learn now. You can find various tutorial videos on youtube to learn that. It is good to have multiple skills and if you know to play some musical instruments it can help you to become popular with your friends and classmates.

# 3. Watch motivational movies.

If you ever felt lack of motivation and found no one who can motivate you, so you can find many motivational movies on youtube, Netflix, or on amazon prime, you can watch them and keep yourself motivated to work better and handle different situations which might come to your life after the lockdown. It can help you to regain self-confidence and it can also help you to succeed in your life.

# 4. Read a new book

Nowadays people lack interest in reading books. Books are the ocean of knowledge. This can help you in many ways. When you read a book it not only provides you important information but it also improves your vocabulary. So it is better to read a book in the language which you want to improve. It can be anything that interests you.

# 5. Try cooking new dishes

If you are a food lover then you should also try to cook new things and make yourself and your family happy. Just eating a lot of food is not good. You must try to know how such delicious dishes come to your plate. You may learn to make different new recipes on youtube. You can also refer to various online articles about food recipes and try them in your kitchen. Sit with your friends and family and enjoy them. Outside food is not safe at the time of pandemics, so to give your tongue a spicy ride you must try new dishes in your home.

Along with this, I am suggesting a few more ways.

Write a few articles, stories, or poems.

Enroll yourself in free or paid online courses with certifications and get certified to build up your resume.

Start practicing yoga for better health.

Complete your syllabus in advance.

Clean your house

Learn to make new crafts and decorate your house.

Make use of social media and show your unique talent to the whole world and become popular.

If you have some knowledge that you can share with others then start giving online tutorials and make some extra income during the lockdown.

I hope these ideas will help you to make better use of your time. If you have more ideas then you can share those in the comment section.
