When you have an unexpected lockdown staring at you, take it one day at a time. Instead of getting bogged down by the thought, take each of those days as an opportunity to build new skills, explore hobbies and do things you’ve always wanted to.     1    .

1. Give your house a makeover

    2    ? With a lockdown in full progress, this may be a good time to give your home a fresh new look. Change the curtains, move your tables, chairs and sofas around the house to try out new combinations. Besides burning good calories, this activity could help you hit the reset button and let you escape the boredom of same-old.

2     3     There are at least half a dozen people, at any given point of time that you need to call back. An elderly aunt, that slightly touchy friend, or your former colleague — you really meant to call them back, but ... you know how it is. This is a good time to find out how your friends and family are doing. Spread the warmth and stay bonded.

3. Find the bookworm in you

This is a no-brainer to be honest. Besides being a great entertainer, this can be a great use of your me-time, simply because you will enhance your knowledge of people, society, history and culture.     4    .

4. Try digital housekeeping

Your home may be tidy and in order, but your digital life is a mess: photos all out of place, the music from god-knows-when, old text files that need to be cleaned up.     5    . Most importantly, you need to change your passwords and keep them safe.

A．Be a social butterfly — on the phone

B．Here is a list of ideas for you to explore

C．Also, research suggests that reading keeps you smarter

D．Used to the common setting of your routine workplace

E．Therefore, you are supposed to finish the following things

F．Not to mention a system backup and an update of your operating system

G．Tired of seeing the same old seating/dining arrangements, day in, day out
