50 Things To Do While Quarantined (without children)

Some people, especially young adults, are going crazy at home! I think it’s because, they typically don’t look for things to do around the house.  They are moved by outside stimulation (sports, friends meeting for lunch, etc). They are even getting board of social media. Older adults are going stir crazy, as well.  Since I have been self employed since 1994, I can’t remember the last time I said, “I’m board”, or “what should I do today”.  I usually wake  to a list of things to do.  I thought I would create a list of things people can do to keep occupied.
