Things To Do While Social Distancing

Okay, everyone is social distancing right now but good lord it's going to get boring if you don't have a running list of things to do (when you aren't working, obviously). I've compiled a list of things you can do/I'm planning to do. This is a jumping off point, and please, comment below some things you're doing so I can fill my time too — xoxo darling, Hayden

Read some books.

(currently on my shelf: Aunt Dimity & the Summer King, The Deadly Dance, Gone Gull, French Chic Living, Shadows on the Lake)

Clean out your closet.

My tip: go into your closet and turn every hanger around so it's facing backwards. When you wear that item of clothing, flip the hanger around. It will show you in ~six months what you wear and what you need to donate.

Make a list of restaurants to try around town once COVID-19 is over.

Denver spots on my list to try: Lumber Baron Inn, Daughter Thai Kitchen, Same Cafe.

Learn some TikTok dances.

Renegade anyone?

Reorganize your bathroom.

Watch a classic film.

Clean out your emails.

Go through your inbox, trash, spam, etc. for every single email account you have (I have 5).

Write some snail mail to friends.

Love this card...or this one.

Organize your important documents.

Give them all their own folder home. Or do your taxes — why haven't you done them yet?!
