25 Things to Do During a Lockdown

At the time of this writing, the world is literally in a state of chaos.

The Coronavirus or COVID-19 has been declared a global pandemic and on March 19, 2020, the Governor of California (where I live) issued a “Stay at Home” order.

That means no going to work. No going to school. No social gathering of any kind. No going outside unless it’s absolutely necessary like for groceries or a necessary doctor’s appointment.

Other countries have already done this and as no surprise, several other states quickly followed suit to put everyone on a lockdown.

However, what to do if you are stuck at home during a pandemic or some other national crisis and you’re bored?

Below are 25 things to do when you’re bored during a lockdown, so you don’t go completely out of your mind. If you have a few moments, also be sure to check out my video at the end of this post and consider subscribing to my blog or YouTube channel.
