HERE IT IS MATE
THIS IS NOT AN INTERVIEW THOUGH BUT BY READING THIS , YOU MAY BE ABLE TO WRITE BY YOUR OWN
1. READ THAT BOOK (SERIES) YOU’VE BEEN PUTTING OFF
First on the list, is very much where you should be starting. I like nothing more than immersing myself in a book, concentrating fully on the book, its characters and its storyline without distractions. We have that opportunity now. Books exercise the brain, build our vocabularies, lowers stress and also enhances the imagination. Whether you prefer fiction or non-fiction, buy yourself some books and start reading more this week. There really is no excuse as you can buy used books on Amazon for next to nothing. Don’t forget, if you prefer audio, audiobooks might be the way forward for you. If you’re a pharmaceutical marketer, here is a list of books to consider.

WATCH TV OR YOUTUBE
3. KEEP A BLOG/JOURNAL
Keeping track of your thoughts, activities and learnings is always a good idea - and a highly productive one at that. You might look back at this time and process your memories or even process your thoughts for the day or the week that has passed. You can do this privately on your computer, mobile or even better in a notebook.
4. ENROL ON A FREE COURSE .
5. LEARN A NEW SKILL
Building up your qualifications by enrolling in courses can also be accompanied by learning new skills. This could be learning the rules of a game (Chess is a good example from my own list) or how to play an instrument… or anything at all that takes time to get to grips with. Practising an instrument I think can be good fun, and it’s also an inventive way to keep yourself entertained and constantly learning. This is the case when picking up a new instrument or upgrading your skills with an instrument you might have played all of your life. Skoove offers free piano lessons during the outbreak.
6. SET UP A WORKOUT ROUTINE
How long have we all been looking to begin this activity? If you work out regularly, you will know that the key to a successful and consistent workout regime is routine. And I don’t need to tell you about the benefits of working out and keeping fit. Can you get your hands on some basic gym accessories? You actually don’t even need such equipment if you follow some of the workout videos available on YouTube, such as the Joe Wicks routine for which a few of my colleagues here at Orientation Marketing are undertaking. This particular workout routine has also recently been awarded a Guinness World Record for the number of live viewers to a workout.
7. COMPLETE A DAILY PUZZLE
8. MEDITATE
It’s important to be mindful of your surroundings as well as your wellbeing whilst in quarantine, and meditation might help you get a bit of peace of mind in times of uncertainty. Find a quiet space, light some candles and clear your mind with some therapeutic meditation music - more info here. Meditation is one of the best things you can do right now to relieve stress and improve your wellbeing. Aura and Headspace both offer help if you are new to meditation and mindfulness.
9. KEEP IN TOUCH WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS AND PAST COLLEAGUES
I also feel that reconnecting with past colleagues is a great idea. You would have spent a lot of time with these people in previous roles and might have grown apart as you move on in your career. But make that effort to find those who you’d love to catch up with - they’re in the same position as you
10. ATTEND TO THE GARDEN
Yes, I’m afraid now is the time to attend those garden jobs and chores. Your busy lifestyle usually means that things in the garden do not get done but now you don’t have that excuse. I had to face up to this reality, but once I had started doing some basic work in the garden I actually started to enjoy it. Tidying up your garden, repainting your fences and any other jobs that need doing in your garden can be done over a period of time when you feel like it and when the weather is good.
11. START A DIY PROJECT
If gardening in your free time sounds appealing, go one step further and start a DIY project.
18. LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE
How many times have you said that you’d like to learn a new language? I’m sure you have many times over the years. Well, now you have time to do so. With apps like Memrise and Duolingo, you can do so easily and at no cost or you can consider hiring a private tutor on a platform like Preply.
Reading books and enrolling on a course might be enough… either way, always keep this in mind in case there are surprises later on.
21. FORM A ROUTINE FOR YOUR NEW ACTIVITIES
Finally, and perhaps most importantly… be sure to write down a routine (with timescales) of the activities which you will be doing and trying for the first time on a weekly basis. Stick to your routine and form the habits to keep your working and keep you productive during this lockdown.
