I’ve been seeing all sorts of amazing resources for entertainment and socializing during this quarantine, so I thought I’d collect them all in one place for my friends to find! So here are a few of the ways I’m staying sane as an extravert in social isolation:

  1. Create a Quarantine Projects List
    \nTime to get caught up! My list includes everything from catching up on laundry to reworking our budget to painting our bedroom! Whatever you need to get done, write it all down on a master list and then prioritize where you want to start!
    2. \n
  2. Get in Shape
    \nYou may not be able to go to the gym, but there are tons of workout programs on YouTube or Amazon Prime. There are also tons of great fitness entrepreneurs on Instagram who could really use your support at this time! My personal favorite is Positive Fit Mama, who is offering her Fit Mama Club for free through April 15 to help support those in social isolation with keeping up their fitness routines!
    3. \n
  3. Take a New Course
    \nMaybe you were laid off, or maybe you’ve been wanting to leave your 9 to 5 for a while. There are so many great online courses for everything from how to start a blog to building an online brand.
    \n
    \nThrough the rest of March, Brit + Co. is offering all of their courses for free! They even have more artistic courses, like calligraphy or watercolor painting! Just use the code SELFCARE at checkout.
    \nClasses bought with this code will only be available through 3/31

For the Kids…

\n

Need a way to entertain your kids during this quarantine? Here are some ideas!

#GadBookClub

\n

Josh Gad, the voice behind Olaf, is reading books via Twitter and Instagram livestreams every afternoon! Follow him on one of these platforms to find out when the next #GadBookClub will be! Usually it’s around 4:30pm PST daily.

ABC, Jesus Loves Me

\n

ABC, Jesus Loves Me is a free homeschool curriculum I’m preparing to use next week with my oldest. It has lots of free worksheets and suggestions for creating a very simple homeschool curriculum to keep your little one engaged during this season! They have curriculums for ages 1-5.

\n

Family Time!

\n

\n

Your kids are probably loving this! They get to spend much more time with you than usual, so enjoy it and try to spend quality time with them doing the things they love! Let them pick the activities you do once in a while - it will help them to have a better sense of control over the situation and will help you to understand what they enjoy.

How are you filling the days in social isolation? What resources have you found?
