Things to do while in Quarantine to be Productive
Like everyone fortunate enough to be able to self-isolate or quarantine until it’s solidly safe to socialize once again, we’ve been thinking a lot about how to make the best of our present situation, do more with less, and “stay safe and sane,”.
Read Books
Reading Books could help you live longer: People who read books live for around two years longer than those who don’t, irrespective of gender, wealth, education, or health. While a similar association was found among readers of newspapers, it was weaker.
You may absorb more from a physical book: Some studies suggest students take in more information from paper than from screens, underlining the case for picking up an actual book rather than an e-reader. One study in Norway showed students who read texts in print scored better on reading comprehension tests than students who read digitally.
You develop the skills of the future.
It builds your vocabulary: In addition to improving your emotional and cognitive intelligence, reading can also help broaden your vocabulary, with some research concluding that “above average readers experienced a higher rate of vocabulary growth than did average readers.”
It helps ward off brain deterioration: Exercising your mind is likely to reduce your risk of dementia, according to the Alzheimer’s Society. The organization advocates finding something you like doing that challenges your brain and doing it regularly like reading “challenging books”.
