Maybe you are feeling lonely this quarantine. Maybe doing less makes you anxious and that not being able to leave the house and do the things you usually do makes you feel unusual. Then maybe this quarantine is a chance for you to do nothing. Use the pandemic as an opportunity to chill out for a while. Do you feel the same way?

I let myself be bored most of the time.
It helps.

I like life both in quarantine and before the quarantine, they are just different, not better or worse just different.
I like aspects of both, and I choose to focus on the best aspects of any situation. The same good and bad aspects will still be there no matter which I choose to focus on, but my experience will depend on which aspects I choose to put my focus on.
So like you say, we can use this time during this pandemic to chill for a while

I have been an online freelancer for years so it's okay with me. However, I miss going out sometimes, too.

No. For me this quarantine and the lockdown is the worst thing to have happened to me.

I suggest what can you do for now during this time that will be helpful to you. Make the most out of the situation. Right?

I try not to get bored; doing a lot of things at home; have some pets too! Also busy cooking for my family! But I don't like this situation when I can not visit my siblings/relatives/friends!

It is good to chill during a lockdown but when there is uncertainty associated with it then it's difficult to even chill . People have lost their loved ones and livelihood and don't know when this pandemic may really end

Keep safe and then chill. Being anxious doesnt help either. Does it?

I envy you that you have your own backyard to plant some in empty plastic bottles. I live in an apartment.

The economy has been down. This COVID has done nothing good.
