- Hang pictures in the house– It’s bound to freshen up your space.
- Create exercise routines together– Here’s a great way to stay close, and stay healthy.
- Schedule virtual double dates with friends– It could be the next best thing to getting outside and connecting with pals.
- Rearrange furniture– While it sounds like work, being stuck at home gives you an opportunity to test out new seating arrangements.
- Have a "Great British Bake Off"-style baking competition– Since a lot of people are baking in quarantine anyway, make it a competition with the winner cleaning the dishes.
- Clean out the closet– You know you’ve been wanting to do that forever, now’s your chance.
