On paper, being home from work and school sounds great. Then, you realize that everyone else is home also, your entertainment options are limited, and cabin fever starts to set in. Here are a few things you can try to break the monotony and keep yourself in positive headspace.

- Binging –Is there a show you’ve wanted to catch up on? Do it now.
- Drinking –Don’t go crazy on this one. Have a few drinks, but don’t use this time to crossover into full-blown alcoholic.
- Clean –It’s a pain in the ass, but it’s not like you won’t benefit from it. Clean, reorganize, and reset.
