These are some extremely crazy times that we’re living in, to say the least. For a lot of us, it can be particularly challenging to get up and get out of bed on a daily basis, let alone get to work if you’re working from home like us.
We recognize the challenge of day to day quarantine and like you, we feel it too - but it’s not without hope! Here are some tried and tested tips and tricks that can pick you right back up. We understand that these are quite depressing times, but it’s also important to take care of your mental health!
We’re still not seeing an end in sight to the COVID-19 pandemic, although there are some flashes of good news every now and then. For now, we'd all do well to stay indoors and try out some activities that can help us stay well during this this quarantine.
These activities should help you re-center yourself and get back in the groove of working or doing healthy stuff while in quarantine.
Let’s get started!
Start a new hobby.
It can be daunting to start a brand new hobby as you need to be familiar with a brand new set of skills, but trust us - it can be extremely rewarding and it can help get you out of the bed on some really bad days.
Is it drawing, or sculpting? Or are you looking to get into video games? Have you always wanted to try cross-stitching or knitting? Whatever it is, go ahead and try it out! You won’t be good at it at first, but that’s the beauty of it. It will give you something to work towards and look forward to every day.
The Elinz Hack: Document your day to within the hobby. Take a video, or stream it online - that way, you’ll have something that’ll keep your mind off things, and who knows - you might even make a living out of streaming your craft.
What’s for sure though is that you’ll need some affordable video equipment. Look no further than our webcams and action cameras here at Elinz, which you can see here:

Get off the couch, and take to the skies!
I know we just talked about hobbies, but we honestly think that drone flying is in a complete league of its own and worth mentioning. We just love it so much!
Most drones can be notoriously expensive, but not here at Elinz - we’ve got some very affordable JJRC & MJX drones that you can get shipped straight to your doorstep today. If you have kids at home stuck on the couch, or if you’re the one that’s been stuck in a rut on the couch, this is a great way to get off it.
The Elinz Hack: If you have a yard, you can try building an obstacle course of your own using tyres, wood, or anything lying about in there - it’s easy and it’s a fun way to while away the time (just make sure that you can clean it up easily afterward).
Practicing through that field can be extremely challenging at first as you try to get to grips with controlling your drone, but it’s not impossible - it should keep you preoccupied for quite some time and will ultimately give you something to look forward to daily.
Note that drones have limited flight time, so you might want to get some spares if you don’t like waiting for it to get charged! Get your drones and related accessories here today:

Start eating healthier and start cooking for yourself!
It’s been particularly easy to just grab your phone and just order food from nearby restaurants in your area, and we don’t blame you - besides work, we’re all doing all that we can these days just to survive and stay sane.
That doesn't mean that you don’t have to do better - if you’d like your days to feel and look a little better and to keep yourself safe and healthy, you’ll have to do the cooking yourself from time to time.
When you cook by yourself, you’re giving yourself plenty of time to think about what’s going to go into your food. As a result, we’ll make mostly healthy choices bit by bit, and we’ll be more conscious about what goes into our bodies.
Now is the perfect time to start eating healthy, and it’s a viable quarantine project that you can occupy yourself with for the meantime!
The Elinz Hack: Get a food vacuum sealer. Not only does this help with keeping your food fresh, but it also helps with planning and labeling your meals, and opening up some alternative and healthier cooking options for you (Sous Vide, anyone?).
If you’re at a loss on where to find some great food vacuum sealers, we’ve got them all here at Elinz. Get yours here today:

Last but not least - breathe.
Take the time to turn off your TV or radio, log off the internet, and take some time to yourself. Breathe and shut off the noise for a little bit. We know that these are very scary times but you have to breathe and be mindful.
It’s all gonna be okay - and we here at Elinz really believe that.
We’ve all linked the items that might be of help to you in the coming months as we weather through COVID-19 above and should you have any questions, don’t forget that we’re always open via our website chat, phone, or via the email address sales@elinz.com.au.
Remember to shop smartly and from the safety and comfort of your home today with Elinz!
