sage Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 As many of us are self isolating and all of us are facing restrictions on our social life and pursuing our interests, I thought I would start a thread with ideas for helping with the forthcoming malaise.

Stive Pesley Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 We've started making a list of all the crappy jobs around the house we've never got around to doing because they are boring and there is always something more fun to do. Based on the theory that doing the boring jobs is going to be more fun than going all "Jack Nicholson in The Shining" on each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 We've recently started using Zoom at work for conference video calls. https://zoom.us/ Also good for calls with multiple family members /friends as well, obviously. Free to use, with maximum 40min call length if more than 2 people online at once - but you can then just start another call and carry on..... Have a virtual party with some drinks and a few friends online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking aside, it's really important to have a plan. I've been working at home all week and it's boring as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
