- With the slowing down of things, and less activity outside, it's the perfect time to pick up a skill! I have so many skills I want to pick up. I have to do some online classes for my degree, but I also want to: 1. Start drawing again and get into illustration. 2. Learn writing skills and brush up on English, so I can start getting into copywriting. 3. Learn some coding. 4. Indoor exercises. What about you?

Yes you says correctly. On setting without doing anything is really waste of our valuable time. So friends try to improve your skills day by day.

I need to get some long term writing jobs and I think I might take off on Sunday and take up some coloring and drawing that I have wanted to do but have put aside now that things are taking a slower pace. There are a lot of free ESL sites English As a Second language online that you can practice in English even if you know it and plenty of grammar rules to refresh on. I enjoy looking through them and sometimes they offer good tips on my writing too.

Excellent advice, thank you! This is the perfect advice I'm looking for. Since I wasn't much of a reader or writer as a child, my writing skills aren't up to par as those around me.

@esscuzi Those are things we weren't able to do because of our busy lives outside. Now our life revolves at home.

It seems as though we will all have to find ways of amusing ourselves at home during the next few months. Good luck with your new skills.
