But the truth is, it is what keeps us updated in this crisis. It is absolutely fine to scroll, get yourself some information, and talk with your friends. It gets a little messy when we do not do anything else and just stay on our social medias. Take social media as a break throughout your day and keep yourself updated with all the happenings.
Family Time
Spend time with your family. This is a time where we do not have to worry about our day-to-day work routine. So, why not try some indoor board games like Ludo, Snake Ladder, or any other video games.
