    How to Battle Boredom While Social Distancing

    Published: Apr 3, 2020 · Modified: Oct 14, 2022 by Aimee Burmester · This post may contain affiliate links · 3 Comments

    I have a confession: I’m an introvert at heart. Staying home, reading, watching tv shows, browsing the web, cooking, sewing--anything that can be done by me, myself, and I--is my jam. 

    So when we were recently told to practice social distancing, to flatten the curve, to stay home, I was ecstatic

    That was two weeks ago. 

    Now, I’m trying to fight boredom.

    You too? I’m glad I’m not alone. 

    Here’s a list of things I have done during the last two weeks to keep myself occupied within the walls of my home. I hope this list can help you beat boredom while keeping our world safe.
