Hi everyone, welcome to my YouTube channel, or welcome back to my YouTube channel if you're new. Hello! My curtains are closed because lighting, um, but today I thought it'd be really fun and really useful to share with you some of my like things to do. I think 70 Yeah, I'm gonna share with you 70 things to do at home during quarantine in these times because I think everyone's just a little bit— they don't know what to do with themselves. And I am— I'm homeschooled, I spend most of my life at home, I don't really socialize, don't really go outside unless— well, I am a motivational speaker and I travel around a bit, but if it's not on work then I don't really leave the house, to be completely honest. So So yeah, I feel like I could give you some tips on what to do at home, how I keep myself entertained every day of my life, and yeah, let's just get into it. First of all, you can make a playlist for yourself. Maybe it's for the summer playlist or a shower or bath playlist. You can do a workout, and here's me getting distracted, of course. You can cook or bake something. It's fair to say I'm not the best in the kitchen, and many of you might not be either, but I do love myself a bit of noodles, so that's what I'm making here. You can make your own YouTube channel. There's no time like the present. Now everyone's at home and you've got extra time on your hands. Just do it. You can learn some TikTok dances. I waste so much of my life trying to learn TikTok dances, but it's also a lot of fun and passes a lot of time. Follow me on TikTok, Tilly Lockey. It's a pretty good workout too. Try and get TikTok famous. Because why not? Make an Amazon wishlist. Here I am looking for a couch jumper. There's so many random stuff on there, so I definitely recommend if you are bored to check that out. You can learn to play an instrument. I'm taking up piano again, which I am really enjoying at the moment. Have a self-care day, super important. Here's me having a face mask. And then a small karaoke session. You can rekindle a hobby that you once loved but didn't have time for anymore. My masterpiece of a drawing here. You can start a scrapbook. I love scrapbooking so much. I'm not going to show you too much because I'm going to do a full video about it. You can redecorate your room. Make a vision board. A vision board is just basically for you to see all your goals physically in front of you, and it's really motivating. Have a self-photoshoot with just by yourself or with your sister, sibling, family. The timer is your best friend, honestly. Do all the annoying tasks like clean your makeup brushes. Nobody wants to do that. Take some pictures of your clothes, go on Depop. Try a new smoothie recipe. Talk to your family. FaceTime friends. Shout out Hannah. Tidy your room. I sound like your mom right now, but I felt so much better straight away as soon as I just tidied my space, and it's really important to stay motivated. Definitely helps. Do some schoolwork. Cuddle with your pet if you have one. Clearly mine doesn't like me. Go out for a jog, though I decided that that's not really my style, so I turned back in. Walk your dog. I bet all the doggos would love that. Experiment with makeup. Here's me trying a darker look, and I wasn't too fond of it, as you can probably tell. Organize your life. Have a dance party. Do some nail art. My beautiful nails, I really hope you all like them. I love them. Binge Netflix. Plan Christmas gifts for people if you're really that bored. Start a new series. I've already watched Vampire Diaries, but I'm now rewatching. Put together some Style your outfits, one of my favourite things to do. Have a quiz night Zoom call with the fam. Get a new app to become obsessed with. This is Flipmaster, and I just waste so much time on this app, to be completely honest. And it's karaoke time! Jam out with your favourite hairbrush. Plan your dream vacation. It can be as far-fetched or realistic as you like for after the lockdown's over. Make a dance. I'm very talented I'm currently quarantined in the dance department, as you can see. Write a song or a rap, whatever you like best. Revisit old websites of the past, and I talked about this in my quarantine day in the life, so you can go watch that to learn about these. Go through Snapchat or Facebook memories. Find old nostalgic videos and laugh at them. We have so many, and some very embarrassing ones. Learn a language. I like to do this on Duolingo on my computer or the app. Store, grab a snack, read a book, play PlayStation or Xbox, try and become more flexible. See that? I'm doing it. Just me flexing on my split. Create a fun video. Read some positive and happy quotes to make you feel better. It can be really uplifting, so if you're down, I definitely recommend this. Follow me on Instagram, Tilly.Lockey. Why are you not already? And subscribe to my YouTube channel. Get cozy. Clear out your camera roll. Pluck your eyebrows. Teach your dog a trick. Mine wasn't having it at all. Have a deep clean. Watch YouTube. Have a look at the national days of the year and write down the ones that you want to celebrate. Make a Pinterest board. I have so many of these, it's insane. Play a family board game. One of our favorites. Brainstorm for your own business ideas. Play The Sims. I feel like that's all a lot of people are doing right about now, and I can't lie, I love The Sims too. Write a message to yourself to receive in a couple of years' time. It will be a very pleasant surprise. Sort your sleep schedule out. Have a little chat with Alexa, Siri, Cortana, whoever you've got. Alexa, tell me a joke. Why are mushrooms the star of every party? Because they are the real fun guys. Dye your hair or make a drastic change. Yes, I did this for a YouTube video. Paint. Make that whipped coffee everyone's going on about. I don't think I made it right, but what I did make was really, really nice, so I recommend. Compliment yourself. Talk to elderly relatives. And last but not least, my 17th thing to do is to breathe. We are in some very abnormal and weird, strange times at the moment that I bet a lot of people would never have seen themselves living or existing in these times because it's very, very strange and very unexpected too. So I would just say take a step back, take a few deep breaths and time to yourself. You don't need to see the whole stairway ahead, just as long as you can see the step in front of you, trust that the pathway will unfold. And I believe we'll all get through this together. But yeah, I just wanted everybody to take a deep breath, know that you are not alone if you are feeling lonely or anxious because I feel like anxiousness has definitely spiked a lot or a little bit in everyone right now. So just trust that you're not alone, trust that your path will unfold ahead of you. Make sure to like, comment, and subscribe. I really hope you enjoyed this video because it took me absolutely ages to film. I was running around days on end completing these 70 tasks. So that's another thing that you can do if you're bored, by the way. Film a video like this and try and complete the 70 tasks, and you will not be bored for a long time. Trust me when I say that. So yeah, please smash the like button, it would mean the world to me, and I hope to see you all next time. Mm-hmm.
