ADDING FUN TO DAILY CHORES DURING LOCKDOWN

“Many of the most fun things in life are free and available to you. Don't let anything hold you back and immerse yourself in the world of fun now.”

When was the last time you forgot about all the daily responsibilities and lived in for the moment especially during quarantine? Hard to remember?

It is not anyone’s fault to be stressed or anxious about managing loads of work on time. But we can surely sprinkle some fun in our monotonous daily chores. And now that we are with our families, including them in some amusing tasks to get things done is a big NOD!!

Here are some amazing ways where you can make your chores more fun:

1. Add a melody to everything.

Music is available in any energy you wish for. Want to make your cleaning marathon a whole lot less dull? Play upbeat party music to enhance your motivation and uplift your mood. Researchers found a study that said that people who listened to up-tempo music while exercising, worked out for longer.

2. Turn it into a game.

If you are working with your significant other, kids or roommate, add in some healthy competition to make things more fun. Offer a reward or a punishment on who cleans up their space first or complete a task in a particular duration.

3. Write the tasks down and tick them off!!

Writing down your tasks helps you to remember them. Highlight the slightly important ones and add a check or tick mark when completed. This will give a feeling of achievement as the number of ticks increases.

4. Make time for your hobbies.

While in the chaos of getting everything done, take a break and do something which makes you happy. Continue a painting or a jigsaw, write new poems or make a journal, dance or sing off on your favorite beats. This will help you in gaining confidence and work better on your abilities.

5. Make it a workout .

Solve two problems at once and transform that errand long distance race into a long distance race exercise, too. Putting on some lower leg loads, doing calf raises while you're washing dishes, or doing a few jumps as you mop or vacuum can assist you with meeting your cleaning objectives and your wellness objectives in a single singular motion.

Get some cuter cleaning tools:

That exhausting old mop and brush most likely don't make you anxious to begin getting your home ready. In any case, deciding on some marginally cuter cleaning apparatuses, regardless of whether that implies a couple of unsettled kitchen gloves or a delightful dustpan set, may very well cause you to feel more joyful to clean the spot up.

7. Provide visual reminders of what you have finished.

What's more, when those tasks are done, feel free to give yourself a gold star for them. Research recommends that boosting undertakings can fundamentally expand work environment execution, demonstrating that a couple of gold stars that you can trade out for something fun will keep you inspired to keep the spot unblemished.

8. Take Scheduled Breaks.

Furthermore, when you're doing tasks, make a point to take a couple of moments of time off each hour or thereabouts. Having some espresso, visiting on terrace with a companion for a good walk, or simply unwinding for a couple of moments between errands can make your assignment list appear to be less fantastic over the long haul.

9. Divide and Conquer !!

Don’t over burden yourself with all the work at once. Take everything gradual and divide the chores in shifts. Finish one thing at a time and then move further.

10.Reward Yourself. <3

Last but not the least, reward yourself with incentives or things you like. Like, drinking a glass of a soft drink with some cookies or watch your favorite movie when your work is done. You'll be joyous and contented with yourself and you’ll admire yourself to stretch an inch more from next time.

Quarantine period is an extremely distressed period. But taking pleasures in tiny adventures is the only thing that’ll take us through it. A healthy lifestyle choice is a decision we should all take to be in a better place of mind. And no matter how the situations roll over, we should not leave any chance to smile and live in the moment, because at the end, “LIFE SHOULD BE BIG, NOT LONG.”
