Staying occupied

Here are some ideas and activities that you could get involved in:

Speak to friends and family over the phone, letters, email or face-to-face via range of online apps.
Set yourself a daily goal so you feel like you have achieved something. At the end of the day think about a good thing that has happened that day
Keep a daily schedule of who to contact so you can speak to a different person each day
Do things that you enjoy:
- reading
- cooking
- indoor hobbies
- watching your favourite TV show
- listening to the radio
- DIY

Spend time doing things you have been putting off:
- paperwork
- have a spring clean (household and electronic!)
- learn a new skill
