Are you stir Crazy yet? There are a few things I do to pass the time.
1) Something we all do: Binge a show or watch movies. It cool to have Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, Showtime, Starz, Movie Channel, Cinemax, Apple TV, and more. I save a ton of money having a lot of content providers. I go out less frequently during non-pandemic times, so its made transition to staying at home now much easier. Plenty to choose from.
2) Listen to audio books on digital service. I use Amazon's Audible service. There you get 1 book a month for $14.99. If you read/listen more like me, you can buy extra credits which works out to $11 a book. I do 3 or 4 books a month. The common place to do listen is in your car on long drives. However, I've found chilling out on your patio or taking long walks with headphones are additional times I get a good listen. Sometimes I choose to listen to a book, rather than listening to music or sports. Now is perfect time for it. It's relaxing. My favorite authors are John Grisham, Nick Petrie, Vince Flynn, and Michael Connelly.
3) Get on your computer, and grab a drink and listen/watch your favorite music acts on Facebook Live. Most musical artists have free (or tipped) shows during the quarantine. From once a week to a few times a week there are new shows. I'm fond of modern blues music. Examples:
- Mike Zito has an interview show where he interviews another blues artist about all kinds of behind the scenes stuff. He's interviewed Albert Cummings, Albert Castiglia, JP Soars, Torozano Cannon, etc. He and his band also recorded a new album during first 2 weeks of quarantine and released it. It's called Quarantine Blues.
- Damon Fowler has a show called Fowler's Garage where he hangs out and chats with other artists and play music together. The last show had Berry Duane Oakley and Damon Fowler playing acoustic guitars.
- Devon Allman has a show from his house where he and various different artists get together and play to themed type of show. He's had shows with his own solo music, blues night, Allman Betts Band music, 80's music, Tom Petty music, etc.
- Samantha Fish has a Friday show where she has random guests, talks, and plays guitar.
4) If you like learning new things, go on LinkedIn Learning (or similar) and watch training videos to learn a new skill.
