When social distancing, the threat of boredom is all too real. Activities you can do by yourself, like solitaire, crosswords, or video games can be a great way to pass the time.<\/p>\n

Have you always wanted to cook that new and improved lasagna, but never been able to find the time? What better time than when you are staying at home?

Some would argue that social distancing is the perfect time to catch up on your\u00a0<\/span>favourite<\/span>\u00a0show, or even start a new one entirely. Some online extensions<\/a> enable you to watch Netflix with your friends remotely, while chatting at the same time, which can help if you’re\u00a0<\/span>feeling lonely!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>If you like<\/span>, you\u00a0<\/span>can redeem the points you earn on LEO for a prepaid Visa gift card or PayPal transfer to help pay for these services.<\/span><\/p>\n

Social distancing doesn’t need to mean social isolation. Although it’s not quite the same, you can still connect with friends and family members in the same city or across the globe using your phone or an online service like Skype<\/a> \/ Facebook Messenger<\/a> \/ Google Duo<\/a>, etc<\/span>. They’re great tools to check in and see how people are doing!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
