What to do during quarantine

April 26, 2020 12:44am CST
I've heard arguments for trying to be productive (spring cleaning, learn a new skill/language) during quarantine, and arguments that we don't need to try to be productive. What do you think?

Be semi-productive. You don't need to do all of those projects you've been wanting to do and you don't need to learn an entirely new language but doing mostly nothing all day isn't good because that will become your new routine and it may be difficult to get back into a routine where you have responsibilities outside of the household.

I think people should be productive if they want to be. I do think that we need something to focus on. Nobody should feel bad for not being productive, though. It depends on the person. For some, if they aren't doing something then they risk it being much more difficult to get back into a routine later one. Other people can easily switch from 'slob' to 'professional'. I don't think anyone should spend all day, every day lazing around in their pyjamas but it doesn't hurt to do that for an occasional day.

I still have some online obligations, but I am also doing some things that I usually say I do not have time for. Then there are also times when I am getting naps. Trying to balance it all out and not stress about anything.I am doing work related webinars and enjoying the mental stimulation, but I am also taking time to be outside.

you should do what you want. some people feel better being productive, others don't. I've been drawing and reading during the quarantine, it helps me keep busy and it feels productive because I'm finishing books and paintings I've started and didn't finish.

Well the answer lies on yourself. It's up to you to be productive or not.

I would say clean and organize stuff. Throw away those not being used anymore.

I like being productive, normally, so it's no different for me during the pandemic.

It is best to keep busy because it takes our minds off the real problems.
