Stuck at home? Here are 101 frugal, fun and productive things to do at home to make the most of your days and evenings, and never get bored

1. 

Hello my beautiful friends.

We’re living in a very strange moment: there’s large areas and whole countries where it’s being recommended to stay home and don’t go out if not strictly necessary. And yet so many people are panicking at the idea of not being able to go to the pub for a couple of weeks… Really? Do they hate their homes so much? Or are their lives so boring? Come on, staying home is not so bad, and if it can help the situation and prevent more people from getting sick (especially the elderly and the weakest) why wouldn’t you? :)

Now, whether you’re sick, you’re forced to do a staycation, or you’re making the best out of the Coronavirus quarantine, here are 101 ideas to make the most of your days and evenings at home and never, ever get bored… (there’s a downloadable list at the end if you want to save it!)
