It is important to take a break from all of the chaos of our normal routine and breathe

KARACHI: This deadly pandemic has sabotaged the daily routine of almost every individual. People are struggling in their homes waiting for the end of the lockdown. But we can also choose to pass the time by doing some constructive activities.

Firstly, due to time constraints many of us are not able to read during our normal daily routine. Now is the time to take advantage of the lockdown and built a strong habit of reading. One can read books on different subject such as science, history, philosophy and politics.

Secondly, the internet is one of the best sources of getting knowledge and acquiring new skills. We can enroll ourselves in different online learning website and take advantage of the plethora of knowledge available online. Watching lectures, documentaries and movies also enhance our knowledge and experience.

Finally, we can use this precious time to make create a strong bond with our families. We can help females with household chores like cooking and cleaning and assist our children in doing their homework and play some new games with them. It is important to take a break from all of the chaos of our normal routine and breathe. Spend time on yourself and your family before you regret it.
