5 simple and useful things that you will immediately want to do in confinment


Quarantine is a serious measure, not a romance about the "best version of yourself." But it will certainly fly faster if you load yourself with useful things.

1. Exercice at home

Self-isolation mode leaves little room for sporty diversity. But you can do yoga or stretching even in the tiniest apartment. In order not to give up training, set a goal. Touching your toes with your hands towards the end of quarantine is already a victory if you haven’t been involved in sports for a million years.  In order not to get bored during numerous attempts, put the music for training: it will help to breathe and stay in balance.

2. Take care of your health

If you are worried about allergies, recurring discomfort at any point in the body, or another sluggish health problem, now is the time to sort it out. You don’t have to go to the hospital: telemedicine technology allows you to go to a doctor’s consultation without leaving home. It is enough to register in the service that provides such services and select a specialist from the database. The doctor will conduct an online consultation, tell you how to solve the problem, and specify whether you need to come to a face-to-face appointment.

By the way, if you are worried that you may have symptoms of COVID ‑ 19, a consultation with your doctor will help you check if you really have signs of this virus. Remember that during an epidemic it is safer to call a doctor at home than to go to the hospital yourself.

3. Watch movies that won an Oscar

The Oscar has been awarded since 1929. Of course, a lifetime may not be enough to review all movie masterpieces even in one nomination that have accumulated over almost a hundred years. But you can definitely walk the winners of the title “Best Film” of the last couple of years or even decades - after all, you probably already watched some pictures.

The award specifically in this category has a special meaning: the ribbons that received the statuette speak of important social problems, deep feelings, incredible fates, great achievements and tragedies. Therefore, the time spent watching enrich your knowledge of the world and allow you to think about things that you did not even suspect. If you do not know where to start, get acquainted with the eternal classics, which by right have become a cult. This, for example, Gone With the Wind, Casablanca, Rain Man.

4. Read a few books from the BBC list

Only one series of books about Harry Potter or the Lord of the Rings trilogy is enough to occupy the entire quarantine. If you have already read the epic about the boy who survived, and the history of Middle-earth, take a look at the list of the best books of all time according to the BBC . Here are collected masterpieces of world literature for every taste.

You can re-read something from the classics that you could not understand at school age: at the age of 16 it is difficult to penetrate the existential sufferings of Raskolnikov or understand why the Master burned his novel. But now there is time to do it. If you are not in the mood for serious thought, on this list you will find many good and simple books that cheer you up. For example, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” by Roald Dahl or “Winnie the Pooh” by Alan Milne.

5. Relieve stress in a shooter or build a civilization

When there are too many disturbing events around you that you cannot influence, it's time to briefly switch to another world. And computer games will help. Perhaps you will feel a little better after a crazy race on a car. Or the mysteries of Ancient Egypt and a soccer match on the network with friends will distract from all problems. Or maybe your option is a bit of safe aggression in game shootings with enemies. In any case, a temporary escape from reality can well affect your mood.

In addition, most modern games offer complex and emotional plots and opportunities for developing the analytical abilities of the brain. If you do not mind plunging into another world, but never a gamer, try to watch streams and watch how others play.
