50 Productive Things To Do When You're Bored During Quarantine

Everyone’s bored, however, there are ways to kill the time, or kill your boredom by doing things you really love! I’ve finally had time during this period of self isolation to work on this blog, cook and bake more, keep my room organized, and workout more! And honestly, I’m so thankful for everything I’ve gotten to do! While I miss my friends, school, theatre, and much more about normal life, I don’t hate virtual learning and all the extra time I have to explore new hobbies. So, if you’re bored and don’t know what to do, here are 50 productive things you can do!

#1 – Cook something

#2 – Bake something

#3 – Do a Chloe Ting workout program

In the beginning of quarantine, I did the Two Week Shred, and I loved it! But she just came out with a new program!
