The quarantine period may get extended so it is better you plan your daily routine keeping this in mind.

Take some time to relax
Make sure you find some time for yourself in a day to focus on your well-being. Take a break from work, relax and sit back. Find time to meditate and perform light stretching one in a day.
Plan your day
The best way to make sure that you find time to do everything, for you and your family is by taking the help of a planner. It will give structure to your day and this way you can make sure that important tasks that you have been meaning to complete do not slip from your mind.
Learn to be patient
If your family members are dependent on you for most of the tasks and you have your hands full, it can be a little difficult to manage. Explain to your family members that it is difficult for you to do everything at once and you would appreciate their help. This will also give you time to bond with them.
Involve kids in the kitchen
The best way to make sure that your children remain engaged and you get to complete your kitchen work is by bringing them to the kitchen. Assign small tasks like washing vegetables, taking ingredients out of the fridge, etc if they are too young.
Enjoy time with your family
It is likely that we won’t get to spend this much time again with our family so make sure you enjoy it till it lasts. Play fun games, put your phone aside and try to know each other a little better.
