Lockdown has been a tough deal for us now. It's more than a year!
When we all are thinking to get things better, a different variant of coronavirus stuck again. We are back to the cocoon of our home.
Yes, some are busy working from home. Some have kids at home & occupied with household chores.
But still, many are not occupied, still wondering & waiting for the world to open. They might have plans which are more feasible when offline things are in action.
So, for those & for those who are overthinking everything, PLEASE STOP EVERYTHING!
Let us explore 7 valuable things we can do in our Lockdown period.
Yes! You heard it right!
Cooking is a basic life skill, which everyone must know irrespective of gender. No, I am not saying to learn expert like cooking. No need for online classes for that.
Just call your mother or any friend who knows how to cook. Start with the basic dal-chawal (lentils & rice).
If not, open youtube or google, you will get all types of articles & videos on recipes. Do start learning. This will help you in your long run.
PRO-TIP: - Do learn how to make your favorite curries & desserts you crave for. You can call yourself a specialist after that!
2. Teach Underprivileged Kids in NGO
Right! You can enroll yourself in NGO & teach underprivileged children for free. This is one of the most helpful things you can do after donations.
For more than a year now, online classes are everywhere. But still, many underprivileged families cannot avail of these types of arrangements.
Mobile Mentoring Programmes are running in many NGOs. Classes are being taken on the phone calls. Notes are being provided by Whatsapp messenger.
Do consider this option, as we as a society can come together to help each other this way. We uplift by uplifting others.
PRO-TIP: - If you really want to help these children, I know AASHA Inifinte Foundation based in Bangalore. They are running these mobile mentoring classes. If you can also search others for these types of options.
3. Reading Books
You can read self-improvement books & uplift your skills. You can read fiction novels & expand your imagination.
You can read an autobiography to read about the lives of great people. You can read healthy eating books & incorporate healthy habits.
You can read holy books too to learn spiritual lessons.
Books are great ways to expand your knowledge. So, instead of only scrolling the news, start a new adventure of jumping into new books.
PRO-TIP: - Atomic Habits is one of the most selling improvement books. If you want to dive into some new habits, I would suggest reading this fantastic book.
4. Earn Money
Passionate about sharing content & knowledge, there are various monetizing options available in India. There are various sites for earning from your content sharing: -
In some portals, the clients will post their requirements. You need to pick their topic & write as per words or hourly basis.
PRO-TIP: - Learning about content writing would be an add-on for this. There are many courses available on the internet. You can select as per your requirement.
5. Learn New Skills
There are various new hobbies you have inculcate in yourself. You can learn from youtube videos, articles, Instagram reels & posts, etc. You can also enroll in the courses too. There are many influencers present who are sharing their courses & knowledge for free!
Some of the useful skills you can learn in as below:
PRO-TIP: - Try to learn those types of skills which are helpful in your future lives too.
Hope all of you will try some of these activities in this lockdown.
Sayonara!
