21 things in 21 days

 This is another kinda suggestive/tips post. Since we’re going to be in lockdown for another 21 days, here are 21 things that would be fun to do while you’re stuck in your house. But believe me, there’s no place like home, so enjoy every minute of the next 21 days!

Day 1. Watch Kota factory

                             Well, speaking of 21 days, the first thing I remembered was Jeetu Bhaiya. Kota factory is a five-episode series on Youtube, which follows the journey of IIT aspirants who live in Kota. It’s completely free and has English subtitles. Trust me, it’s worth a watch!

     Day 2.  Clean your place

                                       Grab that cloth and clean your workspace. But, this is not advisable if you’re sensitive to allergic cough.  As you clean your space, you’ll feel the change taking place. We often dread to work from home because home is kind of an environment we associate with rest and comfort. Change it, maybe you need a different screen to light your room, or a colourful vase to decorate your living space? Spice up, people!

Day 3. Catch up

                                     Been a pro in board games? Now’s the time to brush up those skills!

Day 4. Start learning a new skill

                                      It takes 21 days for a person to acquire a new skill. Add something that makes your CV look wild!

Day 5. Track your habits

                                    Putting the fun part apart, you can bring some healthy habits into practice, that found a way out of your life a while ago. Maybe, pick up that music practice that you left behind a long time ago.

Day 7.  Read

                                    Books are gateways to thrilling getaways. You find some rectangular, dusty old thing on your shelf that you bought a long time back, hoping that it’ll make a change?  Now’s the time to test it!

Day 8. Binge-watch

                                

Day 9.  Do a digital clean up

                          ( Well, this is a lot tougher than I thought. But I’m trying my best. ) Ever wondered why your pc is running out of space? Why your files are magically disappearing and you're re-downloading them again? These are signs that your pc is highly disorganised. (In Marie kondo’s words, they won’t spark joy. ) Arrange your files in specific folders and organize your folders in a way you’ll feel comfortable finding them. This will help you clean your pc, as

A)  you’ll be deleting all duplicates

B)   you exactly know where your stuff is

Day 10.  You can actually start equipping yourself with your academic needs.

Day 11. Rest. You’ve spent ten days doing whatnot. You deserve a pampering day.

Day 12. Recover from pampering. This day is when you’ll redo whatever you did till day 10 but at a slower pace. The aim here is to not burn out so that you have the same enthusiasm till the last day.

Day 13.  Start your workout routine (inside your HOME)

Day 14. It’d be fun to watch your parents’ favourite movies. Again, self-experienced, so trust me, you’ll have a good time.

Day 15. If you haven’t already, try helping around the house. It’d be fun if you work together, and it helps you pass time.

Day 16. If you’re someone like me and took social distancing a little too seriously, today’s the day to call your friends and talk to them. (From Your Home)

Day 17. Rest day; or do flipping through the old memory lane

Day 18. Reflect on how you’ve spent the past 17 days, and realize how much you’ve changed since. If you feel positive, plan on sticking to the new habits that made you feel so.

Day 19. ( Well, you can actually read my previous posts, you know?) Just kidding. Catch up with the world, see what’s happening in your favorite area, and what your favourite personality has done these past 18 days!

Day 20. A little change, perhaps? Think of what you want to be in your near future, and plan how you’ll become it. (You can do this the day 1 if you are planning to be more visualistic.)

Day 21. Final day; we can do it, guys! Do whatever you feel like, in your HOME. Play some bang music, or dance till your feet hurts, or don’t wake up till it’s lunch. Just one more day. Relax, and before the day ends, be thankful for the person you’ve become!

That’s it. You can add your own stuff to the list. And let me know about them in the comments below, I’ll try them too! These 21 days let’s support each other and stay virtually united in this division. Do not leave your house, and don’t forget to wash your hands either. I’ll be blogging every single day, and you can follow me on social media for the latest updates. Let’s stay positive, in our home, and get this over with!
