Part 1: Community | Part 2: You | Part 3: Your Home

During this Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, remember you are not stuck at home, you are safe at home.

How to Treat Self-Isolation As an Opportunity – Part 2: You

Part of our Self-Isolation Series
Part 1: Community | Part 2: You | Part 3: Your Home

In my last instalment, I was talking about some ideas on how to use the time while being confined within your home due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Connecting with your community was one broad way to help relieve the feeling of confinement and make best use of the time to be helpful during this hour of need.

In this instalment, I want to talk about a few ideas that focus around you. I want to talk about some development ideas that I found particularly useful but I did not always have the time for before the pandemic. All of these ideas can be done in your home with no need to go outside.

With the current Covid-19 pandemic that is affecting each and every one of us and where self-isolation and “social distancing” are now commonplace, we still have options as to how we can treat this time. Do we see this as a confinement, a deprivation or even as a prison sentence? Perhaps we can do much better than that. Let’s try to see how we can do something useful with this time.

As the saying goes, it is what it is and we have no choice but to get through this. Worrying will achieve nothing and only waste time. I know that sometimes that’s easier said than done, which is why I think it makes sense to see how other people are dealing with this “time on their hands”.
