1. Make a fun breakfast.

I've been making smoothie bowls, omelettes, breakfast sandwiches, and just about anything interesting I can find on Tik Tok.

2. Make coffee or another fun drink.

I tried the "Greek Whipped Coffee" trend on Tik Tok and I am so obsessed with it. All you do is take a tablespoon of instant coffee, a tablespoon of sugar, and a tablespoon of hot water, and you blend with a hand mixer until it gets thick and forms stiff peaks.

I add almond milk and a little creamer to this. Delicious.

3. Binge watch a new show.

I have been super into "Westworld" on Hulu and "On My Block" on Netflix. This is the absolute perfect time to start a show considering the amount of free time we all have.

4. Exercise.

We may not be able to go to the gym, but that doesn't mean you can't exercise. Go outside for a run. I have been trying to either run or watch an at-home workout video on YouTube every day. It's very easy to slip into a lazy pattern being cooped up at home for so long.

5. Make a meal.

Last night, I made tacos for my family and it definitely killed a lot of time and was very rewarding. I made guacamole for the side.

For my guac, I chop up two Hass avocados, a tiny bit of minced garlic, chopped tomatoes, chopped onions, a spoonful of hot salsa, salt, pepper, lime juice, and cayenne pepper. So good.

6. Start a home project.

Even if it is something as small as cleaning out your closet, it will make you feel super productive and kill a lot of free time.

7. Access your inner creativity.

Write, draw, dance, sing, do anything that gets your creative juices flowing. I try to write in a journal every day before I go to sleep to make sure I'm using my brain a little bit and not just staring at Tik Tok for hours.

8. DIY your clothes.

Crop t-shirts, bleach sweatpants, or cut up your old jeans. You might not have anywhere to wear them to yet, but when this quarantine is over, at least you'll have a new wardrobe.

9. Read a book.

When things get stressful in life, I have an extremely difficult time falling asleep. Reading before bed definitely helps wind me down and relax me. I've been reading Shirley Jackson's short stories before bed.

10. Facetime some friends.

While it's nice to have some alone time, reach out to your friends as often as you can. We're all going through this together, so it's important to have each other's backs through this hard time.
