"Has anyone got good ideas? "

Start a hobby.

Volunteering.

DIY/decorating

Learn a new skill.

Do Zoom quizzes with friends.

Enjoy time to relax.

Although, if you’re like us, we’re still working so nothing has really changed apart from pubs closing.

Structure helps. I'm working from home half the time and on site the other half but have recently put regular exercise back on the daily agenda and its making a noticeable difference.

Trying to get half an hour a day murdering the guitar too ... been learning for years but still a total beginner.

Just keep busy. Plan your days in advance. If at a loss try and help others who can not get out and about.

A structure of some sort I think - I am lucky in as much that Iam working full-time so that rpovides me with structure as everything else has to fit around that.

Gym, when possible and walking etc as well.

Making time (more time) to speak to mum and family as I am sure they are feeling lockdown as well.

Structure as said helps I think, voluntary if time etc..

Exercise and fresh air, nature is a great place to unwind from all this..

Staying in touch with family and friends..

Keeping positive that this like all bad times will pass..

I found video calls with friends to be a real help, also plenty of exercise and took up a new hobby ... well an old one I last did about 25 years ago...

Awesome that’s good to hear!!!

Back on topic, in fairness my PS4 has taken a bit of a hammering (as well as the kids Xbox and switch!).

Finding I was going back to get all the achievements on games till I rediscovered an open game that has no ending (No Mans Sky for anybody interested in the name), but just playing and exploring sinks the hours away. And I always find another task to do on it, another planet to explore or regions to discover.

Not for everyone I know but it suits me

hiding from cock pics.

I'm doing lots of DIY which I feel is making the time count for something, and I'm doing two online courses and improving my cooking skills.

Plan your time. Include what's important and meaningful to you, giving you interest and satisfaction. Treat yourself too.

If it's not in there, regular exercise will help you a lot.

Spend time in nature which has been shown to be very healthy. Go to look, notice, experience and to be yourself.

Learn things too.

If you are able to communicate or meet with people, do so. Don't become isolated

Last lockdown I was furloughed I spent a lot of time sorting my garden out, veg beds, painting fences etc. I done a few puzzles with my kids, took up yoga and made sure I went for a walk most days.

Working this time so it's different.

Learn how to play guitar.

Hours of fun and the opportunity to loads of Carry On jokes about G strings and playing with yourself...
