In situations like the current global state of events (COVID19 time/social distancing/there's no toilet paper anywhere), it's easy to forget that there are things to do at home other than just watch Netflix or sit on our phones. I want to take advantage of the time we're taking to socially distance ourselves and use it to gain some quality time with those close to me (physically lol).
In all seriousness, it's important to keep doing things to keep yourself mentally stimulated, and physically active! I put together a list of over 50 things you can do either as an at home date, friend hangout if you choose to see someone, or even by yourself! Many of these are taken from my list of 200+ Date Ideas that are More Than just Dinner and a Movie, another good resource list of fun things to do with someone, but maybe don't look at that post right now unless you want to read a long list of things you can't do... #thankscoronavirus
I've taken the time to divide this list by level of effort and activity, so you can gauge your night based on how you feel in the moment. Who knows, you might just find something fun you've never thought of, or you might just get a laugh.
