How to Keep Entertained or Busy during a Pandemic when you are 60

The Covid-19 Pandemic, apart from its hazardous factor over health and safety, has dampened much
more than that. The lockdowns forced everyone to shut themselves in their homes. Even the world
is steadily opening up, and people are getting back on track, the elderly still have to put up with a
lingering lockdown, so to say, in order to save oneself from the clutches of this notorious virus.
While many people have work to be done from home or online schools to attend to, what do the 60
and retired groups do with so much time? It gets quite on the nerves at times, just how boring life
can be.
There’s always grass on the other side, and with this pandemic as well, there are few things which
you can engage yourself with. Utilize your time in a retrospective and unique way. For it is only now
that you can get the time to do these.

Make a memoir
Sixty years of life is a lot of experience. Write down your learnings, your memorable moments,
anecdotes from difficult times, and notes to yourself and others. You can either make a journal or
write letters to your younger self. Either way, it will be good to indulge in some nostalgia. As you are
going to embrace old age, there may be many a time your mood and attitude might be out of the
place. Reflect back on your writings and cross-examine yourself.

Learn how to use apps and gadgets
If you struggle to book that uber or ordering that food in through an app. All the keys and buttons on
your mobile phone seem like the same, then you must know that you should catch up with the rest
of the world. If you have your children come over, ask them to teach you about your problem areas
with technology. If you can access YouTube, then you don’t even need a person to guide you. It's all
there.

Workout both mind and body
Engage in fun workouts to keep yourself physically fit and active. Being stuck at home might make
you a couch potato. While watching films and reading books may be the apparent activities that
come to your mind during these times, take some time off to work those muscles out. Play some
online memory games like crosswords or scrabble to keep your mind active.

Playing online games
Even though it can be a lot of fun to workout and keep yourself healthy, there is a great way to kill
some time and this involves experiencing the countless online games that are available. One can
head over to destinations like the Casimba Casino where many online games are offered. These
online games would be spanning different categories like slots and poker. Apart from passing time,
you might also end up getting lucky.

Take an online course
Age has nothing to do with learning. You have to be a lifelong learner. That is the best way to live. If
you have always wanted to learn guitar or dance but just couldn’t while you were busy in your
professional life, now is the time. There are plenty of online courses, some free while some paid,
that can get you going.

Connect through social media

Do you wonder what your bench partner from grade fourth is doing now? The world has been
brought closer by social media. Search them up, you might find their trace online. Reconnect with
them and be a part of the alumni groups of your alma mater.

You wouldn’t have possibly been able to do the activities mentioned above before this. Now that
you have the chance, shoot, and enjoy yourself.
