Five skills to learn while in quarantine

Now that you’re just home, you’ll have plenty of time, not just to grow your hair or patience- but to actually grow up! Here are some Adulting Skills to learn during the new MECQ (if you haven’t, already):

1) Cooking or Baking

So you stop thinking of instant noodles as a full meal and also realize there’s more to life than pandesal.

2) Planting

So what if you’re overwhelmed with all these social media testimonials of how plants can be calming during a pandemic? Don’t just read or hear about it! Try it yourself and see if it works!

3) Sewing

Why don’t you rummage through your old clothes, then try to sew some patterns together to make a new pillowcase? Or maybe rework those old pants and make a bag out of it!

4) Upcycle

Don’t just throw your old stuff away. Check if you can repurpose your old picture frames into a headboard or your socks into stuffed toys. Unlock your imagination!

5) Minor home repairs.

Try to be your home’s savior of that leaking roof, that busted pipe or that peeled off paint. Learning a few fix me up basics can save you time, stress and money!
