JAKARTA - A number of schools, offices and a number of other public facilities have implemented work from home (WFH) to prevent the spread of COVID-19 or the corona virus. With the time off given up to two weeks, you certainly need to rack your brain to do work at home. Here VOI provides some alternative activities that you can do while undergoing WFH.

Reading books can be the main recommended option if you experience boredom at home. Besides being able to add information, you can find new ideas through books. Try to remember, how many books have not been read since the beginning of the purchase? As well as taking care of your work, you can take the time to finish the book.

Apart from reading, cleaning the house is an activity that is often forgotten. With all the busy work experienced by the workers, it is often difficult for us to clean up the house. Even if we could, maybe we could only clean up what we could reach.

In addition to the activities above, you can also start new things like cooking. Time-pressed labor mobility often requires people to choose food from delivery or ride-hailing services. By working from home, you can start looking for food references that can be cooked for you and your family. This can be an effort for you to expand your cooking skills.

Your body feels sore? This means that you need to include exercise in mandatory things to do at home.

Everyone also tries to share information regardless of capabilities so it's best to filter out all the information that is currently being received. If necessary, you can do a digital detox so you can go about your activities at home in peace.
