How to spend your time at home

With the recommendations from the Danish authorities and government (and authorities in many countries) regarding the current situation with Covid-19, many people are now looking to spend more time at home and fewer social gatherings than normal.

Many are to work from home or to stay in quarantine, and we wish to give a small help in the form of a guide with tips and tricks as to how our buddies can use their time at home the next couple of weeks. We have added your tips from our stories on Instagram, so this is truly a guide from all of you.

1. Closet clean-up
We might be experts when it comes to wardrobe solutions - But we too find a closet clean-up to be a bit hard to find the time to do. But with more time at home, now is a good time to get started.
In times with increasing focus on sustainability, now is a good excuse to have a look at what items you actually wear and which items could use a new owner. 
There are many platforms to sell your secondhand items, so find your favorite and put your pre-loved treasures up for sale.

Maybe you even see, that your current wardrobe solution or system needs an upgrade to fit your current needs.

2. Get started on a new TV-show
There is so many streaming services available, filled with the newest TV-shows.
With recommendations and restrictions to stay at home, you now have a good excuse to get started on your next favorite TV-show. There is something for everyone, no matter where your look. Among some of your favorites and the best ranked on IMDB is:
Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Peaky Blinders, Westworld, The Crown, Mind Hunter, Suits, Band of Brothers, Breaking Bad, True Detective, Friends & Seinfeld.

3. Get started on the spring cleaning
We know, this is something you would rather postpone until you really have to. But with the extra time, this is something that is nice to get done, especially for those of you, who are to have your home as your office space the next couple of weeks.
When doing this, you are also following one of many recommendations from the health authorities, as they recommend to be aware of the cleaning - both at home and at the office.

4. Try a new recipe
One of the things that is quite rare in a hectic and busy week, is to try out new recipes. This is often both when it comes to baking and when it comes to preparing dinner, as this often take more preparation. Now is a good time to get started on that recipe you've wanted to try out forever and to spoil your household with something a little out of the ordinary.

5. Listen to a podcast or read a book

A great alternative culd also be an E-book, where you can get started with one of those books, that has ranked high on your bucket list. These days can be great for dusting of your favorite book on your bookshelf or one of the many good-looking coffee table books, that you normally only use for decorating.

6. Try working out at home

One way to do so could be with one of the many online courses offered right now, either Pilates, Yoga or a regular program, with tools you can find at home.
