First of all you have to change your mindset and the way you looking at your quarantine time. It's a whole day what I will do or how will I pass my time.These kinds of thoughts just make you panic more. Keep yourself relax and light so that you can focus on other activities.
So if you are among those who have no idea about what to do in quarantine time, then now no more to ponder over this. Here is a catalogue of activities you can do at your home.
You can take a quick look and choose what you will love to do.
Focus on your health more
Now you have more time to focus on your health and upgrade it. In your quarantine days, you can improve your health by eating healthy, doing excercise and maintaining a proper schedule of eating timely that doesn't happen in usual days due to lack of time. Therefore, quarantine can yield good results if used wisely.
Read good books, blogs, magazines etc.
Reading is another productive activity you can do in your quarantine. You can read books online or offline. Make a target of reading two or three books in next 15 days.
You can read those books you wanted to read but couldn't due to unavailability of time. Or you can complete pending books that are yet to read. And most important thing is read only good content. Because reading is food for thought and you can grow only when the information you consuming is right and useful.
Listen good music
We have lots of choices in music too. You can listen any genre viz. Hip hop, Jazz, Rock, Folk Music, IndieRock, IndianPop, Carnatic or Classical Music. The choices are many.
Music heals and lighten up the mood.
You can explore other genres and create a playlist of your favourite songs so that if you want to hear them again you can access them with ease.
Explore your interest
Your interest could be anything like fashion, beauty, fitness, technology, painting, singing etc. In your quarantine days you can gain more knowledge and get to know new things. Each day explore your interest little by little. You will feel rejoice and confident.
Learn new language
Learning new languages can help you in many ways. If you looking for study abroad or making your career there, your language skills become prerequisite. On the other hand, if you are a traveller or you like to travel across the globe, you should be friendly with languages.
Knowledge never goes waste. So learn as much as you can.
If we talk about the much demanding languages across the globe, they are
Mandarin/Chinese, Spansih, Portuguese, German, French, Russian, Japanese, Italian, Arabic and Korean.
You can also learn native languages of your country. They are equally helpful for many perspectives.
You can watch video tutorials or learn through apps or books available online.
Do gardening
While living in isolation and maintaining social distancing you can still attach to nature.
If you like plants and flower, you can nurture them. What you can do to nurture them? You can water them, provide organic manure, clean out the weed, relocate them for proper sunlight, keep an eye on bugs, prepare composed yard, examine plants on time and much more.
You can grow vegetables also. So you can eat fresh, pure and organic vegetables and it will save your cost on vegetables too. So it is a win win activity for you.
Photography
Lots of people think that photography is an outdoor activity. But it is not correct completely.
The thing is if you are keen to learn in this field and are good observer, you can find lots of things and scenes to capture around.
You do micro photography. Micro photography is for small objects.
You can capture flowers, plants, sunset, sunrise, birds, tress, objects at your home, food, fruits and what not.
And if you like to capture yourself, then you can learn new poses to practice in front of camera. You can give yourself 10 days challenge by trying new looks and get ups each day.
Play indoor games
Quarantine days can easily be passed by playing indoor games.
Games keeps you active mentally and physically. Playing indoor games makes you constructive.
There are lots of option in indoor games that you can play with your family members like crosswords, sudoku , chess, ludo, board games like carom, playing cards, charades, pictionary and so on.
Learn new recipes to cook
Cooking is a necessary skill that everyone should know.
If you know cooking, you don't need to be dependent on others, you can make and eat whatever you like to eat.
If you are foodie who loves to eat varieties of recepies, then it is a favourable time to be active with your knife and forks.
Those who are missing outside food in quarantine , can cook for themselves by watching videos online.
And who don't know cooking can try their hands in cooking.

Try to eat healthy more
Here you need to pay more attention.
In quarantine days people are eating anything irrespective of their health benefits.
It's the time to give preference to healthy food over junk or oily food.
You should avoid oily food to much extent especially in quarantine . Because you have to stay at home and work is limited too. Only eat that amount you can digest and burn calories by doing some work.
Eat in proper amount, drink more water and burn your calories.
Eat more green and leafy veggies, fruits, pulses and healthy food available at your home.

Rearrange your furniture, change their location, place some indoor plants in your living room and bedroom, rearrange everything from your clothes to your footwears, clean your stuffs, trash useless things, make crafts to decorate your home and lots of things you can do to make your home looks beautiful.
