Activities to do while social distancing

Since March, we have been introduced to the term "social distancing" to slow the spread of COVID-19. This has left a lot of us with a lot more indoor time. How can we make the best of it?

What has the PLM community been doing to social distance?

We asked members what activities they are doing to keep busy while practicing social distancing. We were so excited to see all the creative ideas and suggestions they had that we wanted to share back a few! Here they are:

WATCH A MOVIE

"I’ll be watching Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice (the 7hr version).”

“I’m hanging out with my cat, Jack, and watching ”The Crown” from the beginning.”

“Harry Potter 1-7 non stop, for the 800th time.”

GET CREATIVE

“Quilting”

“My wife and I made home-made cards.”

“I’m trying to keep to my regular rhythm of journaling, audiobooks, puzzles or games, and knitting/crocheting.”

“Keeping busy painting and doing some craft projects.”

“Trying out cross-stitching and I bought a hilarious design.”

SPRING CLEANING

“Cleaning my ceiling fans and installing a new fan in the garage.”

“Using this time to do some apartment cleaning - small tasks that I’ve been pushing off like recycling piles of mail and dusting.”

“Tidying up the office for long-term working at home (having a tidy space to work hopefully means a more focused mind).”

READING

“I’m reading a good book.”

“I’ll be reading new books & making brownie batter hummus.”

“I have been home for a while, keeping busy reading.”

GARDENING

“Probably will work on some small garden tasks like repotting plants for the container garden and will try to move some of my more sedentary activities out to the patio to enjoy the nice weather.”

“I’ll be assembling my new raised garden bed and starting seeds.”
