Default Self-isolating tips?

I thought we could share our tips for being self isolated.

Well this is what I'm currently doing:
- Uni work
- Creative writing
- Cleaning (I bought a new iron to do all my ironing)
- Exercise you can go out once a day
- Arts and crafts - Bought some paint to paint my plain tapestry
- Gaming: playing the PS4 and us TiBB'ers have rejoined Tengaged
- Netflix, Disney+

•*Work - I am a teacher so setting stuff for the pupils weekly.
•*Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video
•*Walking and exploring my neighbourhood
• Animal Crossing / Pokémon
•*Organising my rooms one at a time.
•*Drawing on iPad.

I find it good to have my work in the study, and eating/leisure away from that, so you don't stay in one place.

pick one day a week to avoid all news, it does wonders for mental health

never watch news on repeat, watch for 5-10 mins and then switch to something else

learn something new every day, doesn't need to be anything big, just something to give you a feeling of accomplishment

No movement to a crowded place.
Only do essential travels to short distances ie: corner/local store/market.
Store visit every 2-4 days. Buy in consideration, don't bulk too much.
Store visit only 10-30 minutes before the store closes
Buy essentials first, then the other things.
If you have to go to the store, wear a face mask the whole time you're in
When you arrive to your home, wash your hands with disinfectation solution/substance/gel before you do anything else after closing the door
Wash your hands frequently with soap or hand disinfectation gel. Put HDG only in hand that are dry.
