I thought other than sharing a bunch of activities that I know I won’t be doing. I’d share a list of things that I have been doing whilst at home in isolation. I’m hoping that it inspires you, as I know it can be hard to constantly find things to do. Some days are definitely more difficult than others, but the sooner we get the hang of staying at home, the sooner we should be able to get out.
With that being said this is: Seven Things I Have Been Doing in Isolation to Pass the Time
Disney Plus
If you’re a Disney lover then this is a must. It has pretty much everything, so I’m sure you’ll find something on there. As I’m writing this I currently have the classic Aladdin on in the background. I would also hugely recommend The Imagineering Story, especially if you have a love for the theme parks, it’s just a shame that not all of the episodes are available yet.
Animal Crossing
I know you’re probably fed up of hearing about this, because it seems to be a huge talking point at the moment, but I love it. It’s got such a relaxing atmosphere which is perfect considering everything that is going on in the world at the moment. Plus with it being a slow moving game, it means there is something do everyday.
Taking Ralph For a Walk
I find that it’s essential to get out of the house for the allotted daily exercise, as the fresh air is really beneficial and stops me from going stir crazy. Plus I have to take Ralph out too, as he still needs his walk. I try to keep away from the local shops or anywhere where I know there is going to be multiple people. It’s strange to have to cross the road to avoid people, but I guess it’s necessary.
Reading Other Blogs
Reading other blogs has always been a great inspiration for me, but I have especially loved reading them in the past week. It’s nice to still have something to read whilst all of this is going on. I’d also love some recommendations of bloggers, as I’m always on the lookout.
Focusing on Instagram
I have been really loving Instagram lately, from posting and being active on my stories. Taking and editing photos also takes me quite a bit of time, so it keeps me busy during the day. I’ve just really enjoyed creating content, and sharing parts of my day on my stories. I’ve never really used the feature that much, but I love it now!
Planning Blog Content
As much as I love creating content for Instagram it goes the same for my blog. I’ve enjoyed brainstorming and planning content. I know I took some time off, as I was struggling with inspiration, but after the break I feel like it’s back and I’ve got some ideas planned.
Cooking and Baking
If you follow me on Instagram then you may have seen that I have been baking and trying to cook more often. I made chocolate muffins which I shared on the blog in 2018. I’m planning on doing cookies next, as those are my favourite things to bake. With cooking I made my own Carbonara sauce which was delicious. I’m thinking about sharing the recipe here; if that is something you would like to see?
There we have it! That was Seven Things I Have Been Doing in Isolation to Pass the Time. I hope you’ve found this post helpful!
Stay Safe!
What have you been doing whilst in Isolation?
Thank you for reading!
I’ve been pretty much doing the same as you, although a large proportion of my time has been taken up by studying too as my university exams are still going ahead online!
-Kyra xx
Good luck with your exams! I hope all goes well xx
I’ve been loving Disney + as much as it appears that you have! It’s got such a good selection of the classics and the new stuff. Definitely using this time to get ahead of planning blog content too. Stay safe xx

I’m happy to hear you’ve been enjoying it too! It really has! It’s a brilliant time for planning content, isn’t it? Thank you, and you too xx
I’ve been pampering myself, reading blogs and not much else to be honest because I’m ill so don’t have much energy! Everyone is raving about Disney + x
Oh no! I hope you feel better soon! It’s great if you like Disney xx
I don’t have as much spare time as I thought I would in lockdown as I’m working on assignments and online lectures. But I’ve been trying to switch off in the evenings and do something I enjoy so I’ve been doing some baking and blogging too! x
Ah no way! I hope all is going well with your assignments and lectures. It’s good to have the time to switch off. Baking and blogging are two great things xx
Love Dinsey plus! I been bloggin, cooking but I haven;t bake yet
Glad you’re enjoying it too! Ah, I hope you find a recipe you like xx
Still trying to convince my other half that we NEED Disney+!
I’ve been doing a lot of jigsaw puzzles and watching anything and everything on Netflix!

I hope you’re able to do it! I used to love a good jigsaw. Netflix is so handy right now xx
I really want to get Disney +, I’ve got loads of other shows to keep me watching, but I feel so left out not having it! I’m also going to do some baking this weekend, especially with Easter being next week! xx
It’s got so many amazing shows and films. I know what you mean, it’s all anyone is talking about. Oooh how exciting, Easter bakes are always some of the best xx
I got Disney+ a few days ago and I’m obsessed haha! I’m currently working my way through the High School Musical films. Loved this post 🙂 xx

Same here, it’s so strange isn’t it haha! Thank you, and you too xx
I’ve heard so much about animal crossing lately! I caved and bought Disney + and am so glad that I did. I hope all is well xx
It’s a really great game. I’m glad you’re enjoying it. Thank you and the same to you xx
For me I’ve been rewatching my favourite shows like Derry Girls, playing Animal Crossing as it’s soooo relaxing. I’m also enjoying instagram as it’s generally a happy and positive place to be right now!
That’s a great idea! Animal Crossing is great isn’t it?! That’s so true, I find it’s more positive than Twitter lately which is a change xx
These are great things to do for fun to pass the time, especially going out for walks and focussing on IG. No better time than now to plan blog content and put lots of effort into your social media!
I’ve been loving Disney+ I started and finished diary of a future president ! I thought it was so cute!
I have never tried Animal Crossing, but I am so tempted to buy it as everyone is talking about it! It looks like a really great way to pass the time xo

I’ve been doing a lot of things the same as you, such as baking, planning blog content and spending more time on Instagram! This is the perfect time to get creative and do all those things we usually don’t have time for. Thank you for sharing!

Life is a Shoe

These are such good ideas, definitely going to steal a few as I’ve been having a nightmare trying to pass the time! Definitely going to be baking some sweet treats next week!

Great ideas, I been doing the exact same things, minus the baking as my oven isn’t working at the moment.
I recently signed up to Disney Plus and I’m obsessed. I also want to do more baking!

I’m so mad Disney + for not being available here in Colombia. Apparently in a few months. Anyway, those cookies look amazing!
