5 New Things To Try During Lockdown

Staying at home during lockdown can be boring and lonely, so instead of getting depressed/stressed while at home, why not try something new to keep you busy. I know we’ve all binged on Amazon Prime Videos and netflix(not that there’s anything with doing it again) and its latest releases, that’s why now is the time to try things you’ve kept in your wish lists but couldn’t attain maybe due to work. Lockdown does not have to drive you to depression and all its peripherals, from learning to speak new language to investing in yourself by adding to your professional portfolio, this is the time to do that. With all been said, here are 5 new things you can try during lockdown:

Trying things like learning a new language – which can easily be attained online at Future Learn for example or with the use of apps like Memrise .
