Activities to do while practicing physical distancing

I thought I would share some ideas of activities to do while being safe & physical distancing while Covid-19 measures are in place. Please add more ideas in the comment section or drop me an email so I can add your suggestions -- to make this a sharing, caring and collaborative spot to exchange ideas.

• You can still be social -- yet virtually. By using facetime, zoom, skype, etc. 
• Stay socially connected while practicing physical distancing by saying hi to old and new friends through social media and share fun videos: facebook, twitter, instagram, etc.
• For now, we can still visit parks, by being 6 metres apart, so please try to visit Centennial Park and High Park and other parks
• Try Geocaching  https://www.geocaching.com/play just practice physical distancing and don't touch the Cach unless you have gloves
• Meditation and Mindfulness - I tried the Oprah and Deepak Chopra 21 day challenge - which was free at the time https://www.shape.com/lifestyle/take-oprah-and-deepaks-21-day-meditation-challenge
• Free museums, Opera, ballet and other concerts as well as cooking lessons 
• https://www.fastcompany.com/90478031/you-can-stream-the-met-opera-for-free-during-the-coronavirus-crisis-heres-how
• https://www.classicfm.com/music-news/coronavirus/royal-opera-house-launches-online-ballet-opera/
• https://www.forbes.com/sites/carlieporterfield/2020/03/16/in-coronavirus-quarantine-you-can-virtually-tour-these-museums-from-home/#e4c67cb7a3a9
• https://www.thedailymeal.com/cook/online-cooking-classes-coronavirus
• If you have a Toronto Public Library card you can watch free movies and e-books https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/
• For those who like Golf -- practice your golf swing 
• watch some Youtube videos on experts to improve your swing 
• Even holding your golf clubs while watching tv for the grip is helpful. 
• Clean your golf clubs to get them ready when  the courses open up again.
• For those who like to watch horses run -- you can watch in the morning online the horses train live https://thestable.ca/media-center/?article=live-feed
• Listen to some classical musical 96.3 fm radio as it soothes the soul and you can live stream here http://classicalfm.ca/
• Try to keep a routine - as much as possible
• Watch YouTube videos on new hobbies (cooking, golf, card games, crafts)
• Art: Draw or paint, sing, dance ...whatever is your medium pick it up again
• Exercise: lots of youtube videos, dance, walk, push-ups, sit-ups 
• If you are an expert in something why not create informational youtube videos and upload on social media like facebook, linked-in, twitter, instagram, etc.
• If you have cards or old puzzles - bring them out and play again
• Do some spring cleaning and get rid of old stuff you no longer need or want. Kondo who is the clean-up and organizing queen gives some tips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZjp55-QsAM
• Journal: dreams, hopes, challenges -- when you revisit it again a year from now it will be an interesting read.

FOR MY STUDENTS (FORMER AND CURRENT)

• Create or revise your social media presence (Linked-in, facebook) to make it professional 
• Research companies you want to work for in the future and connect via linked-in
• Read scholarly articles through harvard business review, forbes, Ivey etc. to get prepared for the upcoming semester
• Get your resume together and you can send it to me via email but please allow up to a week to review as it is exam time, etc.

Don't be too hard on yourself during these interesting (challenging) times. Are there any other ideas that helped you occupy yourself and keep one busy?
