How to Use Idle Time in Quarantine | Coronavirus Lockdown : How To Spend Time at Home During Quarantine

Everyone is going through hard stress in the home quarantine situation. This pressure increases only when you stop all work and wait for the coming danger. The more work you do, the more stress you will have. At the same time, the body will lose the strength to fight danger.

During this time I will try to write a guideline for daily work for everyone. I hope you will find a solution to a big problem at the moment when you finish reading this article. The problem is, much say, time is spent just sleeping. Once I woke up I thought, what will I do now? I fell asleep again before I could figure it out.

After reading this article, the thoughts will end. You will also get a full 24-hour routine after reading the whole article. We have 3 main challenges in this disaster. To deal with those 3 challenges, you have to have 3 work routines.

Duty to overcome challenges: To try to please the Creator according to the rules of one's religion. (People of all religions will pray to the Creator according to their rules).

Challenge-1: Pray to the Creator to get rid of the danger

(Here is the guideline for Muslims, people of other religions should pray to the Creator like themselves.) All the developed states in the world are failing to stop Corona. There is no way they can stop the death toll. There is no way to escape from this danger without the mercy of Allah. Therefore, one should seek help from Allah for the liberation of oneself, one's family, society, and country. To get Allah's help, one has to follow his instructions to get his satisfaction.

In order to please Allah, we divide our duties into 3 parts-

1) Worshiping Allah:

5 times prayers, tahajjud, and other supererogatory acts of worship fasting reciting the Qur'an.

2) Donate:

Charity reduces human danger. The current situation is the best time to donate. In addition to donating outside the line, the right to receive the first donation comes from one's own poor relatives, poor neighbors, house workers (maids, doormen, etc.). Also, if you go to the market at this time without trying to reduce the price, even if it seems like a loss, come with that money, do not bargain when going somewhere in a rickshaw or a vehicle, on the contrary, give them some extra money. You will also get the reward of donating to this.

3) Acquiring Islamic knowledge:

Read Islamic literature in addition to reading Tafsir in the Qur'an to gain an accurate knowledge of Islam. This is also one of the pleasing deeds of Allah. The more Islamic books there are outside of the Qur'an and Hadith, the more one can gain knowledge about Islam by reading them, and the time will be better. Even if you search for these online, you may find PDFs of many books.

Challenge-2: Don't get infected

Once the coronavirus enters one's own body or home, or a building or even an area, the virus is likely to pose a danger to everyone. That's why experts around the world are urging people to plan for resistance to prevent the coronavirus from coming too close to the area. So one of the main tasks on your 24-hour routine task list is to do some routine activities to prevent it.

Keep yourself clean:

The virus enters the body through the mouth, nose and eyes. Not through the air. The virus can enter the face, nose and eyes through hand contact. So you have to clean your hands with soap for 1 hour and 20 seconds. When I come home from outside, I will not sit anywhere and wash my clothes or cover it in a bucket with a lid and wash it in time. If it is not possible to wash any clothes, I will dry them well in the bright sun. If possible, I will come home and take a bath with warm water or clean my hands and face.

Increasing the body's resistance to disease:

I will clean (gargle) the throat with salted hot water as per the opportunity. Eat foods rich in vitamin C. Eat green vegetables, a balanced diet, fish, meat, boiled eggs well (eggs should not be eaten) so that the body's immunity increases. According to experts, cold food should not be eaten in any way. Sometimes it is better to drink hot coffee, tea, hot water or soup. In addition to these, regular physical exercise should be done.

Challenge-3: To keep yourself financially prosperous in the event of a possible economic downturn

The epidemic of coronavirus has shaken the world economy. The International Labor Organization (ILO) fears that 3.3 billion working people will be partially or completely unemployed in the wake of stagnation in global economic activity. This situation should not be forgotten.

To prepare for that situation, you need to use your free time. Otherwise, even if you survive from Corona, you will have to face another big danger of losing your job. In preparation for dealing with that danger, you need to increase your skills many times over in your spare time.

The question may be, have I got a job without my qualifications or skills? Hmmm, that's true. You are able to do your job because of your qualifications. But I'm warning you by sharing a BBC news headline published a few days ago.

"The pilot of British Airways lost his job and took a job as a driver of a delivery van." If your current job is gone for any reason, you need to acquire the skills to get a job now, even if it is in another category with some other qualification. Again, it may be that you have a lot of qualifications, maybe 70% of the job in the organization, but at least your job to survive.

And if the company closes, you still have a lot of options to get another job. This time I am giving a short guideline on how to use it.

6 special guidelines

1. Trying to increase skill. Trying to be multi-skilled. Having 2-3 types of work done with you will make you less worried about leaving the company. Or even if the job is gone, it will help you to get a new job with many of your skills.

2. Communication skills are a very big skill in today's world. To get a good position in any job you have to perform well. And for good performance, communication skills are required. You can learn from various books or Google search or YouTube to increase communication skills.

3. Give the most important to increase technology skills. Because in the next world, everyone sees the possibility of everything being technology dependent. Excel, PowerPoint must know. You can also learn graphic design and video editing. Having these skills will have good value in your organization. If you want, you will also get the opportunity to work online with many organizations abroad. You will find many good resources in Bengali on YouTube to learn these.

4. Gain the skills needed to be an entrepreneur. Be able to be an entrepreneur yourself. If you don't have the desire to be an entrepreneur, you can use your knowledge of entrepreneurship in the business where you work to bring success to that business.

I will not write anything bigger. I have tried to create a guideline to spend time. How much you use is up to you. However, I firmly believe that if you spend time every day according to this routine, you will have a good time and you will be able to achieve something good for yourself.

5. Marketing and branding are needed to increase income in any business. Imagine for a second you were transposed into the karmic driven world of Earl. So you can learn about digital marketing or branding this holiday to play a role in business growth. 6. Those who have less knowledge of English can improve their English skills in this free time. You can have a chat group with a few friends to improve your English skills. Chat in English in that group. Spend time chatting. With the fear of English will be eliminated, English knowledge will also increase.

I will not write anything bigger. I have tried to create a guideline to spend time. How much you use is up to you. However, I firmly believe that if you spend time every day according to this routine, you will have a good time and you will be able to achieve something good for yourself.
