5. Introvert vs. Extrovert: Home Entertainments
Thanks for the reminder about introverts and extroverts! Here are some activities that can keep both types entertained at home:
5.1. Reading
Explore a range of genres, from biographies and fiction to non-fiction. My personal favorites include romance novels and the Harry Potter series. If you're passionate about a certain subject, you can find many books based on that topic.
5.2. Playing Board Games and Cards
From cards such as solitaire to board games like Ludo and Snakes and Ladders, you have a wide variety to choose from. Playing these games with friends or solo can be a lot of fun.
5.3. Watching TV and Movies
Watch TV series, movies, or even your neighbors (though that can be interesting too!). Recently, I watched some amazing series like Manifest and Code M. Also, there's a massive variety in Hindi, English, regional languages, short films, and long films, including comedy and romance.
5.4. Learning and Certifications
If you're looking to upgrade your knowledge and skills, consider enrolling in certification courses. I recently completed my CIPD course, and I couldn't be happier about it.
5.5. Dancing, Singing, and Creativity
Engage in activities you love but are too shy to do in front of others. For instance, I'm a bathroom singer and love to dance in private. Coloring, painting, and solving puzzles are some other creative activities that can help you relax and express yourself.
5.6. Cooking and Baking
Cooking and baking can be incredibly relaxing. Experiment with recipes, and you might find yourself falling in love with a new hobby. During lockdown, I've experimented with both baking and cooking.
These activities can help you pass the time, entertain yourself, and feel fully engaged during a stay at home. Whether you prefer solitary entertainment or company, there's something for everyone listed above. Have a great time and stay curious!
Happy staying in!
