So my office is shut for a month, and we're expected to work from home. I just can't seem to focus and keep procrastinating.

How are you guys coping?

I tried:

  • reading a book called To Kill a mockingbird, and then threw it away after 2 pages
  • tried to watch a new series called Money Heist, and lost interest after one episode
  • watched some old Telugu movies and then switched off TV
  • Sleeping for 10 hours a day
  • Tried to work out - did it for 15 minutes and then finished one packet each of Oreo and Haldirams Tasty Nuts to recover
  • Dancing for 10 mins and then eating a bar of snickers to regain lost energy
  • Clicking 50 selfies during different times of the day when there's change in lighting
  • Tried to cut my hair and coloured it - it looks awful so that puts a stop to selfies for a while
  • Spending a few hours on twitter and a few mins on Insta

Do you have some innovative ways to kill time this? What are you doing?

Wasting my time on IF and Facebook.

Rest handwashing, eating sleeping

Pretending to study

Enjoying janta curfew memes

That's pretty much it.

Office work. Getting more work as boss says you saving time in commute so can do extra.

Im an introvert so it doesnt affect me much, all i need is an empty space in a corner all by myself and I have that in my house. I live in my own world and that's not really a very bad place to be.

I wake at nine.

Getting fresh, taking bath, helping mom in kitchen, so by 12, it's lunch time. Then laundry. So all in all we are pretty busy by 2 PM. After that there are many wattpad stories I follow. One hour on that. Then all these police beating janta videos, and various memes, then there is WHAT IF channel on youtube and FB, their videos are very interesting. By seven it's dinner preparation. By 10, the work is finished.


Then my mother switch off the lights and we have to pass the time on cell phone.
