How creative can we be during the ongoing lockdown? I am sure that many of us either have to work from home and of course the worlkload is much more lightened. Some of us even do not have jobs at all due to the shutting down of the job sectors. What sort of creative activities can we do to keep ourselves engaging and stay active rather than eating, sleeping and using social media? Can you all put what you have been up to?

Deep cleaning must be tiring :( Reading and writing are one of my favourite activities too although I am very bad at the artwork. As of me, I do try to spend some time on myLot and read what my myLot friends are discussing and involve in the conversation.

@arunima25 That is great. I believe the artwork requires focus and concentration too. Hence now is the best time to do. And yes, myLot is one of the best online platforms. I always tend to do around 30 minutes in the morning but I do nor realise that it already becomes an hour. I have also met great people here.

@tmosby Mylot is a good way to engage and time really passes swiftly here. It's a fun place. I enjoy artwork but don't get much time for it with my working days. So right now enjoying it.

I have been doing a combination of house/yard work, but creatively I've also been working on some of my "projects", writing, reading, eBay selling, and cross stitching. I have also started a letter to one of my pen pals, and hope to get letters to all three of them during this time.

Wow, that is lovely to hear. I have ordered some items from eBay although I have not thought of selling at the moment. This lockdown is an opportunity for us to do what we have always wanted to do but never succeeded because of other work.

I’m retired, so it’s life as usual when home. I have been doing a lot more reading. It’s my passion.

@tmosby These days, my reading is all for pleasure. My graduate school days are long over, so I know about that kind of reading. Best of luck to you.

Wow, I also love reading but light readings where I do not have to use brain to understand theories and remember information. Looks like my retention power is decreasing. I can't remembr properly what I read a while ago. Though I am doing an MA, and I have to read a LOT of scholarly articles, I struggle quite a lot.
