How to Become a Better YOU During Quarantine

If your area is becoming effected by the recent outbreak COVID 19, it may be time to think about what you will do in the event you end up in a quarantined area or simply home because your job is temporarily closed.
As there is not much precedence for this, it’s hard to forecast how long a quarantine will last and how it may effect your daily life. Based on what’s happening around the globe, we’d expect a month long quarantine not out of the question.
If it happens, what will you do with all that free time at home?

Sure, you could look at this an opportunity to sit on your butt and watch Netflix all day, everyday, finally watching that series you’ve been putting off for a year, but where will that get you?

Want to change your life for the better?

Ready to cash in on this pandemic’s silver lining of free time?
