Bonifacio Day is a national public holiday that is being celebrated in the country every 30th of November to commemorate the birth anniversary of one of the country's heroes, Andres Bonifacio.
With a lot of people expected to go out on Bonifacio Day, some people will surely prefer to stay in the condo to rest and relax or simply avoid the crowd. If you are one of those who are planning to stay at home on November 30, worry not because you can still be productive and find things to do in the condo on this day.
We listed 10 productive things you can do and ways to make the most out of your time while staying at home.
Analyze your budget
Why not use your day to review and reassess your current budget and spending habits. Take the time to check where you can tighten your spending, especially this time of the pandemic.
While at home, make a list of all of your monthly payments and look at your bank and credit card statements for the last few months to see how you're spending your money. This will help you discover where you should and could cut back and save money. Not only will it pass the time in the condo, but it will also be helpful in managing your finances in the long run.
Update your resume and LinkedIn profile
Whether you are working from home, temporarily out of work or looking for a job, it's always smart to keep your resume and LinkedIn profile updated with your most recent professional accomplishments.
Take a day (or two) to update your resume and professional profiles so they feature your professional qualities that make you an excellent job candidate.
Deep clean your home
Your condo unit may be a lot easier to clean and you might already be in the habit of weekly chores, but have you ever asked yourself when was the last time you thoroughly cleaned your condo?
Deep cleaning your home is a great thing to add to your list this holiday. This will make your condo unit a fresh, clean and safe living space.
Check and clean up your digital accounts
From your email inboxes to social media profiles, they may seem organized but in reality, it can already be a digital mess. When at home during the holiday, take some time to clean up all your digital files.
Start duplicating your photos and store the rest in a hard drive for safekeeping. You can also update your social media profiles by adding new photos or unfriend people from your social media accounts.
Go through all of your emails and get your inbox empty if possible. You will surely feel refreshed when your files get clutter-free.
Declutter your drawers
Another thing that you can do in the condo this holiday is to declutter your drawers. It’s time to address the following areas and items if you're looking for productive things to do. Some of the things you can clean are medicine drawer or cabinet, kitchen and bathroom drawers, under-bed storage, nightstand drawer, CD and DVD collection, office and craft supply area, and seasonal decorations.
Rearrange your furniture
Nothing to do in the condo? Try arranging and placing your items in a certain way that would create harmony and a refreshed look. During these uncertain times, everyone could benefit from adding some colors and harmony in the living space.
So, take this time to rearrange your furniture and decor to create a more balanced and fresh vibe in your place.
Set fitness goals
Now is the time to revisit your fitness goals or set new ones! Remember, it’s not yet too late to start them up again. You can subscribe to online fitness classes or watch tutorials on Youtube. There’s an app now that allows you to work out with your friends at the same time. You might want to try it for a more enjoyable routine!
Always remember, working out is good for both your physical and mental health.
Take an online class
Is there anything that you want to learn? Whether it’s personal or work-related, now is the time to skill up and scale up! You can find various online classes that you can register for and take remotely.
Whether it's learning a new language on an app like Duolingo or taking a class on climate change, chances are there are online learning courses available to you.
Read a book
As they say, reading is a form of extended learning. So, why not take the day off in the condo to read a book you’ve been wanting to read? Now is also a great time to read the books you've had on your shelf but never opened (you might have several on the shelf).
Play games
When was the last time you played a game like Monopoly or Go Fish? These classic childhood games are a great thing to do on a holiday. They allow you to take a mental break from the COVID-19 news and focus on simple strategy or try your luck.
Rest is productive
As they say, rest is also productive. Spending your time resting and being less actively engaged in work not only boosts your creativity and the ability to solve problems, but it also makes the time spent on work more efficient.
We hope these tips can help you pass the time while in the condo and accomplish the necessary and fun tasks while safely staying at home.
