Things to do While Social Distancing
Whether you’re self isolating, quarantined, or working from home, staying at home is a big adjustment. With the cancellation of large event gatherings like movies, plays, and activities, the list of things to do around the house gets increasingly small. You could watch a ton of Netflix and Hulu, but we have a few other suggestions that can keep you entertained during this challenging time.
Free Movies on YouTube
Many people love YouTube for relatively short video content. But did you know that YouTube also offers movies? Newer movies are available to rent or buy, but YouTube also has a growing list of movies that you can view for FREE. Watch free movies on YouTube.
ABC Mouse

Workouts
With the cancellation of large gatherings, many local gyms have closed their doors. Don’t let that stop your workout routine. In an effort to keep you moving and healthy several gyms, including your local Planet Fitness, are offering Free online workout classes.
Library Resources
Many local libraries offer things like e-books, movies, music and audio books online. Some libraries have online classes for things like Microsoft office or small business startup. Log on to your local library’s website and take a look around, explore, and enjoy all they have to offer.

Keeping busy during this time may see daunting, but you can get through it. Take this time to clean, learn a new skill, or improve old ones. Enjoy time with your family, read or learn to cook. Don’t allow this less then favorable situation to ruin your days.
