It is a new week and I plan on staying at home. I mean it is not like there are that many exciting things waiting for me out there. On day 11 it is definitely time to up my game a little bit so that I won’t end up hibernating until this crisis is over. So I have come up with this list of 10 things that I want to tackle this week:
- Read at least two books from my TBR pile
- Take a beauty inventory
- Store my winter clothes away and get out my summer ones
- Start one course on Future Learn
- Clean the apartment thoroughly
- Be more social and call my family and friends regularly
- Try workouts at home daily
- Reserve at least one hour every day to just write
- Spend less time playing games on my phone or just scrolling through
- Cook at least two totally new dishes
While I read that other people have problems sleeping these days, I have more the issue of staying awake, haha. Everything just makes me feel so tired. This is why I get up at the same time every morning (6.30 a.m.) and try to create as many routines as possible. But I also think that it just takes time to get used to all the changes that have happened so suddenly to our everyday life. We have tried different online tools/ideas to add a little variety to our free time. I like all these free online resources and hope you are able to make use of them, too:
a. Play Codenames with friends online – you can even choose between different languages: https://www.horsepaste.com
b. Three of us played Catan online against each other last night: https://catanuniverse.com
c. Project Gutenberg offers thousands of classic books for free: https://www.gutenberg.org
d. Every day the Met Opera offers one of their operas to stream for free: https://www.metopera.org/user-information/nightly-met-opera-streams
e. The Met is one of my favorite museums in the world and, even though it is closed, everyone can visit their collections online for free: www.metmuseum.org/art/collection
f. The Staatliche Museen zu Berlin also have their collections online: www.smb-digital.de/eMuseumPlus
g. The same applies to MoMa: www.moma.org/collection
h. MoMa also offers several free classes on art, fashion, and photography: www.coursera.org/moma
i. Watch many popular movies for free on IMDb TV: www.imdb.com/tv
j. I have used Spotify for many years and I am still a big fan – I don’t only listen to music, but also to podcasts, and radio plays from my childhood: spotify.com
Have a lovely week and stay healthy (and sane)!
