2. Cooking in general – bread isn’t the only thing we’re baking. When normally breakfast for dinner would suffice, now we’re getting creative with our dishes. COVID-19 has turned us into master chefs with even the least-appealing of ingredients being whipped up into something mouth-watering.

3. Self-educating – from simple Youtube tutorials to languages and even short-courses online, people are seeing this as the perfect time to upskill and school themselves on a subject that they would otherwise never find time for. What we’re learning right now: how to clean our sneakers.

4. Puzzling – yup, the popularity of jigsaw puzzles has increased as people are turning to the old-fashioned way of keeping themselves entertained. Our hot tip: ones with pictures that you can relate to are easier to complete.

5. Dressing up – no we don’t mean changing from our nighttime pyjamas to our daytime ones, however it is a good excuse to put some proper clothes on for once. Inspired by famous photos and historical artworks, people are finding entertainment in recreating these looks, and while it might not be as useful as some of the ideas above, at least it challenges us to flex our creativity with what’s in our wardrobe.
