We've all gotten the memo: staying home for at least two weeks will give the healthcare system a fighting chance against COVID-19. As we hunker down to start self-quarantining, here are some ideas on how to pass the time.
1. Read a dang book, already!
I knew that all those books I've hoarded from Goodwill would come in handy. #QuarantineLife pic.twitter.com/ye55atRzad

2. Start a series that you've always meant to watch and PACE YOURSELF—2 episodes a day should do it!
I have an announcement to make.

I’ve started The Sopranos.
Season 1, Episode 1 — here I go!!! #QuarantineLife pic.twitter.com/rZrQAO3rQg
3. Work from home and clean out your virtual inbox. Don't forget to lock the door before video calls!

4. Curate your wardrobe and set aside things to donate. No, that tube top doesn't look good on you anymore.

5. Learn a new hobby! Crochet fruit, anyone? All you need is some yarn, a crochet hook, and YouTube!
We couldn’t find much fruit at the grocery store, so my wife made some. #QuarantineLife pic.twitter.com/3YPu0hTWVS

6. Make a recipe that requires hours of smoking or slow-roasting. You've got the time!
Ribs came out perfectly! Smoked til 160, wrapped to 204!!! #QuarantineLife pic.twitter.com/Dkml5DfcPl

7. Get outside and take a walk. Snap some good photos while you're at it!

8. You can finally tackle all of the cleaning projects you've been putting off.
Finally cleaned all the dust off my bedroom ceiling fan. Thanks #QuarantineLife #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/nPWHus6Amx

9. Bake things you usually buy. Cookies, waffles, bread... it's all pretty easy once you get the general recipe down.
Waffles Quarantine: plain, maple cinnamon, and chocolate chip. Guess who got a new waffle maker and is never leaving the house again??? 😃

10. Spend some time getting to know your better half again.

11. Most importantly, don't be too hard on yourself if you just can't get out of bed for an hour or two in the morning.
So I had planned to take this #QuarantineLife and reorganize my closets and and drawers but instead I was in bed watching kdramas all day. Welp so much for using time wisely 🙄😝 pic.twitter.com/qyU8zDQLLc
