50 Things To Keep Busy With While In Lockdown

Helloooooo strangers! I know, I know, I’ve been so slack on the old blog, but I’m back and have a few idea’s for content over the next four weeks. Here in NZ we’re in lockdown/self-isolation for the next month, which means no work for this girl. We are currently day 3 of the 28-day lockdown, and I woke up this morning and thought “I should blog again!” So to begin this 4-week journey, I’ve compiled a list of things that you can do to keep busy and get productive!

  1. Clean out your wardrobe
  2. Clean your house

  4. Water your plants
  5. Try a new workout – my faves are HIIT, body weight, yoga & Zumba classes online
  6. Go for a walk (if your country allows)
  7. Catch up on laundry & ironing (mundane I know, but you’ll feel SO good once it’s done)
