It is a bit scary out there and with many countries being in a state of emergency due to the corona virus, it is important to quarantine yourself at home and practice social distancing. I normally practice social distancing myself (heh) but rather than trying to avoid people outside, I just avoid them completely by staying in the house as much as possible.

This, of course, means that I need to find ways to spend my time while in the house, that is, aside from working. Here are some of the things that I do to make sure that I am being ‘productive’ while indoors.

Exercise

I’m lucky enough to have built out a home gym with kettlebells, a treadmill, a bike and a few other gym equipment. Granted, not everyone may have gym equipment at home, but that does not mean that you cannot get in a good workout. There are lots of 7 minute at home body weight exercises that you can do (search on Youtube). Even doing 7 minutes is better than doing nothing.

Action: Here is a great 7 minute workout I have done before. It has an easy to follow tutorial and a useful timer to let you know when you can take a break in between exercises.
